Second General Election?
"Scott" wrote in message ... On Fri, 13 Dec 2019 16:36:27 -0000, "Brian Gaff \(Sofa 2\)" wrote: Don't be daft, the outcome was never in doubt because Corbin is so 'nice' and not at all decisive. He is the sort of guy who, if he was shot in the leg would give the guy another chance before shooting him, in case it was an accident. The manifesto was like some kind of fairy tale and I suspect the party knew these things. However what I do think is that some kind of proportional representation is needed in this country to make the vote numbers correlate with the number of mps elected of a given view. I agree with that but how do you resolve the argument this would break the link between the constituency and its MP PE doesn't have to have multi MP constituencies. Many PR systems don't. or as in Scotland where list MSPs are sometimes seen as second class compared with constituency MSPs. |

Just supposing indyref2 did take place and Scotland voted to leave the UK, would a Westminster election be needed in the rest of the UK as this would then be a new parliament? Shetland might decide to go it alone if Scotland left. They have ALL the oil :-). Well, do they because of the strange way in which sea areas are defined? AIUI there is some methodology whereby the land border is extended in the same direction into the sea. I have seen a map showing that much of 'Scotland's oil' would be in the English sector. That was done deliberately, flagrantly dishonestly. |
