@tosspot,
Time to put you crayons and colouring books away, and go to school before mummy gets annoyed.
So Reform polled many more votes than the Libdumbs but only got four seats, so-called democracy UK style:
Reform: 4 seats - 4 million votes
Libdumb: 71 seats - 3.5 million votes
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.
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 for the new MP to get the bridge at the manor replaced whats the chances of that?
So Reform get just over 42% of the votes Labour got, but Reform get over 400 seats less in the election. If the election had been under proportional rules Reform would have got over 90 which would have been a better representaion of the peoples feelings.
As long as we have first past the post we will always have a merry go round of the same old two cheeks of the same arse with the same old poop coming from them.
Between Farage, Bridgen and Galloway the Labour spineless M.P's will not know what has hit them when Parliament reopens.
Now enter the Dawlish.com Trolls and their nasty little comments.
@BOO HOO, I don't believe Galloway made the mark?
However I quite agree that the people voted and with regret politics is not so clearly black and white and therefore while the people spoke the designation of seats does not provide a fair and just process.
Here's to Farage's chance to blow and push the Labour off course and take it's rightful place.
