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

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?

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...)

Nope. Even you lot aint quite THAT stupid.

Yes.

Even sillier than you usually manage. The majority

Not a chance, you watch.

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).

Yep, you lot couldn't organise a ****up in a brewery.

Not even possible.

No one 'promised' anything of the sort. May said more than
once that no deal is better than a steaming turd of a deal.

or can afford (giving the NHS money we don't have),


Tax rates in Britain aint that high. But its far from clear if many
of the voters want higher taxes to give more to the NHS.

and testing the electorate on their ability to understand
what is going on before they are allowed to vote [1] ...


Even sillier than you usually manage, and that's saying something.

we might stop wasting all this time and
energy and actually get somewhere?


Britain is getting somewhere, out of the EU, you watch.

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, not once decent democracys showed up.

Yes, its got massive downsides as this result shows, but
all the rest are even worse and usually MUCH worse.

Sure, but looking at the map that does seem to be the case:


What's not clear is, with only 5 seats to go, why Kensington hasn't
declared. It's a safe Tory seat so unlikely to have multiple recounts and
there are no logistical issues with getting the ballot boxes to the count.
Perhaps they have a lie in and don't bother to count overnight :-)

the other undeclared seats are all in Cornwall, and I guess that's because,
being a unitary council, they count all Cornwall seats at the same place,
one seat after the other.

Stoney silence. Ha ha ha!


The result of too many people voting Labour is that we will end up with
Boris as Prime Minister :)

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.


We'll see...

Con will have most seats but no majority.


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.

The UK currency has crashed as a result of people voting Labour.


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


Whoosh
I was only paraphrasing what the media election and financial experts on
TV were bull****ting as a handful of results were declared.

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.


and what do you think will be the result of voting not-liking it?

The EU don't play nicey, nicey.


Sure, but Britain is free to tell them to go and **** themselves.


but we need a leader prepared to do that

and I don't think we have that at the moment

oh if that were possible

but it isn't


Watch and see.

Now the tide will turn as the media and the politicians - now all firmly
remoaners, try and sell a watered down version.


but that's not a postponement

once that deal's accepted that will be it for the next century.

The politicians have got burned once, they will say away next time

A hard Brexit is just telling the rest of the EU to **** off when after
2 years of negotiation the deal is unacceptable? For once some
politicians are considering a plan B when plan A doesn't work.

and given the alternatives,

just why is that a bad thing?


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.


if 15% ask her to go, she goes

So am I.


She clung on by skin of her teeth ... Amber vs Boris for leader?


However bad Boris might be, I can't see Rudd being even 10% as good


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.

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:


What's not clear is, with only 5 seats to go, why Kensington hasn't
declared. It's a safe Tory seat so unlikely to have multiple recounts and
there are no logistical issues with getting the ballot boxes to the count.
Perhaps they have a lie in and don't bother to count overnight :-)


Yep, why bother when the result is inevitable.

And they don't **** the bed like you do either.

the other undeclared seats are all in Cornwall,


They're too busy smuggling, stupid.

and I guess that's because, being a unitary council, they count all
Cornwall seats at the same place, one seat after the other.


And still count them on their fingers and toes.

seems I was wrong

5th recount


Because they are completely blotto because of the result they got.

Bet the plow**** is off the trolley too.
