Getting up again (stuff on my mind, 0% of it to do with any election

that mean they are on their way to winning and the whole time and

Worse than that. Con will have most seats but no majority. Brexit
postponed as there will be no-one to lead the negotiations and another
general election due soon. The UK currency has crashed as a result of
people voting Labour.

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

Great again / not

We'll see...

Yes.

Brexit postponed as there will be no-one to lead the negotiations


Even sillier than you usually manage. The majority
will want to leave and thats all that matters.

and another general election due soon.


Not a chance, you watch.

Doesnt matter a damn, thats good for the economy, stupid.

But Brexiteers told us this was a good thing when it happened after that
result. But a real crash then rather than a couple of percent.

Labour always get more seats earlier on since they tend to have urban
constituencies whereas the tories have the rural ones.

(massive generalisation of course - look how early the Caithness etc one
declared...)

Makes sense.

(massive generalisation of course - look how early the Caithness etc one

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).

Nope, just that Labour seats tend to get the counting completed earlier.

Nope. Even you lot aint quite THAT stupid.

It would certainly be interesting to watch with the Article 50
'negotiations'

Unlikely that May will have the balls to fall on her darning scissors tho.

And I can't see even the stupid Torys going for
someone in that marginal a seat as the leader.

Corse they can just find her a better seat and parachute her into that.

I did, but what are his chances? UKIP has torn itself apart and has
lost its core support, so he'll have an uphill struggle. Where he could
do well would be if he and Boris took over the Monster Raving Loony
Party. They were first to propose many UKIP policies, so are well
'ahead' of them in their thinking, and the pair of them would fit in
perfectly.

IMHO there was no such thing as UKIP. Just a vehicle for Farage.

Only if Britain leaves the EU on reasonable terms.

If Britain ends up outside the EU with nothing
else changed, they'll be back, you watch.

Let's hope we never see or hear from them again.


Then you had better ensure that Britain doesnt
end up with what Norway and Switzerland have.
