Worse than that. Great, just what we need after already kicking the hornets nest in the world arena. Con will have most seats but no majority. That always sounds crazy to me. Is FPTP better? Brexit postponed So there is some good to come out of this then. That should give us chance so see what the deal might be before deciding on it. as there will be no-one to lead the negotiations I'm not sure 1 V 26 was ever going to be a real 'negotiation' was it? and another general election due soon. yawn The UK currency has crashed as a result of people voting Labour. Great again / not Cheers, T i m. |

The majority will want to leave and thats all that matters. and another general election due soon. Not a chance, you watch. The UK currency has crashed as a result of people voting Labour. Doesnt matter a damn, thats good for the economy, stupid. |

Labour always get more seats earlier on since they tend to have urban constituencies whereas the tories have the rural ones. Makes sense. (massive generalisation of course - look how early the Caithness etc one declared...) Sure, but looking at the map that does seem to be the case: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2017/results I wonder what the stats are on the recounts ... if they are more prevalent in the rural areas (where counting may not be their strong point). weg Watching it play out as a non gambling man (so I didn't place my bet on any of them) it all seems to be a farce. So, someone became the Prime Minister even though we didn't vote her in and then she voluntary decided to hold a snap election to prove how much support her party had, only to find out that she / they were wrong. So, we are still a very spit country suggesting to me at least that not enough of us are happy with what is on offer and so just as with the Brexit vote, maybe we need to think outside the box. Question. If you look at all the things promised by all the parties .... and got a shrewd business person to tick all the things that would be considered as both positive and viable (eg. no point promising stuff we can't be guaranteed to get (like a positive Brexit deal) or can afford (giving the NHS money we don't have), and testing the electorate on their ability to understand what is going on before they are allowed to vote [1] ... we might stop wasting all this time and energy and actually get somewhere? Are there any examples of this sort of system working well anywhere round the world? (Absolute monarchy, dictatorship, oligarchy or some other authoritarian political system etc). Cheers, T i m [1] Like I wouldn't ask my Mum if an AMD or Intel processor would be better for my new PC or my Aunty Mary what sand type and cement ratio would be best for the pointing on my house. |
