I don't really understand why everyone seems so surprised at this election result. Surely everyone realises that this was an aberration created by what was about to happen in Scotland. The SNP drew 45% of the vote for their independence campaign and that 45% were always going to vote the same way in the GE. At the same time all the pollsters were talking about a slim Labour majority or a ...
Sorry, just looked at it again. What they are saying is that it took more votes for Labour to elect each of their MPs - Not that Lab got more votes than Cons overall.
I don't follow: Cons: 11,334,920 votes Lab: 9,347,326 votes Am I missing something?
Labour had 30.4% of votes; Tories had 36.9%. 'Labour had more votes than Tory'? How so?
Just checked. I'm sorry for your situation. If I was in your shoes - and I really am not preaching here - I'd stay away from debating sites for a long while. I genuinely am sorry for your situation Brenda.
Why do you insist on putting words into my mouth? Much of what you have written above I have not written! Nor written about even. I haven't said 'I dislike you' neither have I said 'I wouldn't want to meet you'! We were in a debate, you were obviously becoming angry or frustrated with my comments. That is why I said that I hoped I didn't know you; because I don't like falling out with ...
Before you comment I should point out that you have already defeated your own argument. You write that '...plenty of NATO countries do not (have?) large armies or nuclear weapons...'. That is because NATO is a mutual defence pact based on the premise that an attack on one is considered as an attack on all. However, the Green Party policy is that "... The North Atlantic Treaty ...
My point wasn't about you accepting the result. You seem to forget your/my posts before that subject was even mentioned. I know you'll accept the result because you, like me, have no choice - and you ain't going to change that in the near future. My point was about the 'name-calling' if you recall. I think you've fully demonstated my point in the last few posts. What about Green ...
' If you fear the Green party are the next coming of stalinism then you're pretty misguided.' ..........................What? This is now becoming a bit strange.
@Brenda Wow! Well where do I begin.... ' Why should I be told by the like of you Huw Matthews that I need to play within some vague rules which nobody else abides by.' ......Err, when did I do that then? ' If you have some personal problem with me that's fine, I can take it and you don't have to give your reasons, though I expect you hate Greens as much as I hate liars and ...
