Yep, you lot couldn't organise a ****up in a brewery. 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. Not even possible. 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) 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. [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. Just who would you ask about how Britain is run ? |

(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 :-) 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. |

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. 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 |

Hard Brexit has no mandate any more. Time for the Europhiles to use exactly the same tactics as the *******s did against John Major. 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. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

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

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. |
