Oh that Election

[sinkov]

Aye Sinkov.

Our voting system was invented when we only had two parties - and it's fine in that case.

SURELY it needs changing?

If Boris was a true believer in democracy then he'd do summat about it.

But he isn't so he won't.

59 mon ami, you're an absolute star, you've made my weekend. A LibDem complaining that someone from another party doesn't believe in democracy. Absolutely fecking brilliant, I've just spent two hours watching Strictly Come Dancing, but I've had more entertainment in just one sentence from your good self. Stick at it, with such an astounding lack of self-awareness you're bound to go far in politics, especially with the LibDems. I'm so glad you're back, it just wasn't the same without you.

I know what you are trying to say of course and it won't surprise you that I disagree

During A GE every party lays out it's proposals for a future Government and it up to the people to decide. That's democracy.

So if the Lib Dems stated that, if elected, they would revoke A50 then they are perfectly at liberty to do this. If enough people vote for your proposals then they will be enacted. If Labour had been elected then many of our utilities etc would have been nationalised. You may not agree, but they would have a public mandate for doing it.

I admit that our revoke A50 was a big mistake which immediately turned off a lot of voters. But the policy can't be described as undemocratic.

And reading further up this thread we seem to agree that our voting system is undemocratic and needs to be changed.

Boris is not stupid and must realise this. But he also realises that the flawd system favours his party and he will put party advantage before the good of the country. To be fair, any Labour/Tory PM would do the same - but it is doing nothing for democracy.

Strictly was great. I would have picked Karim but have no problem with Kelvin winning it.
