The only reason wrigley got in was due to the big reform vote which took away votes from the cons. If there was porportinal representational voting the reform party would have 93 seats according to bbc. No doubt however the lib dems will tel it different but consider with all the own goals and dissatisfaction with the cons they would still have beaten the lib dem candidate. Now looking forward ...
Congratulations to the Tories on annihilating themselves. Special congratulations to Anne Marie Morris, who responded with a patronising letter when I warned her that the actions of her party and the Bank of England would screw us all with inflation.

@Steve if you accepted the right were not immune to tyranny and corruption you'd see the Tory PPE scandal for what it is, right wing corruption unrelated to socialism. I'm not defending socialism by the way, but you seem to think any form of government that is 'big' is automatically socialist. Any form of government that attempts to control and exert power over the people as opposed to serving ...
