Man, I don't really care

 

Tories getting a pasting on their efforts to try and wrestle a sly win from the prison crisis that they manufactured.

 

Okay, I am going to have to be Mr Consistent here and go with the actual facts version. I have already done the same to someone on another thread picking numbers out of the air or from dodgy mainstream media sources using various dubious rounding methods.

According to the official Parliament statistics the turnout was 59.9%, down 7.4 percentage points on 2019. Labour obtained 33.7% of that vote, which equates to 20.2% of the available electorate (my calculation: 33.7 x 0.599). When I use the phrase ‘available electorate’ that references all of the adults that were registered on the electoral roll on 4th July. So that does not add in any illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, other foreigners, etc. (not eligible) but would include people overseas with postal votes, etc. before anyone comes back with some idea that there are millions unregistered or who did not have voter ID.

So, therefore, if one takes the stated 5% backing Labour’s policies as being an accurate reflection of voter intention then just a fraction over 1% of the electorate voted for Labour on the grounds of their policies (my calculation: 5 x 0.202). This would appear to confirm your hypothesis.

Interestingly, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), when they last produced figures in 2021, there were 2 million people more registered to vote in local elections than there were for national elections: 48.8 million versus 46.6 million. According to the 2023 ONS dataset, there were 49,021,248 registered voters in December but only 46,630,069 on the Parliamentary voter roll.

You're currently in some ****ty part of Hull, aren't you?

 

If I was I’d certainly be doing something a touch more interesting than posting on here.

 

Can assure you nobody is reading that.

 

I doubt you could find your way out of the end of your road and if you seriously think he’s in the Caribbean then you genuinely are the thickest **** I’ve ever come across.

Edit,
And there we have it. A few posts further on and he admits he’s not in the Caribbean. So I was correct on 2 accounts, 1 he’s not on holiday and 2 you really are the thickest **** I’ve ever come across
