    If you watch, him and his fellow ****wits get noisier whenever a conversation looks like it's liable to break out. Discussion terrifies them so they have to disrupt.

    The influence of pressure groups / think tanks is growing in UK , which is worrying.

    We’re seeing Christian fundamentalists groups popularity growing in UK and it’s frightening assault on pro choice . Directly influenced by the Americans.

    They hold a lot of sway over the EU, despite several attempts to curtail it.

    You’re not being tracked as you’re too far ahead.

    Winning elections means being efficient with your votes rather than Corbyn’s strategy of appealing even more to places that will vote for you regardless while losing places you need to win. This isn’t a bad thing. Some sort of ranking system for voting would be nice but it’s really far down the list of priorities of things to fix.

    Sadly not as I am terrified of debate and there’s only one winner around here.

    if everybody is really equal and everybody has a voice, and every vote counts, the only thing that should matter is total votes nationally, thats a fair system

    the set up we have is obviously designed to give the upper class the biggest say

    Yes it was designed with that in mind probably. It’s an archaic system, hence I’d prefer some sort of transferable vote system. I believe we had a referendum on this which means it should never be debated again or something. Nobody seemed to mind quite so much when Corbyn was getting 50,000 votes per seat.

    A form of PR , like the scotch parliament or ze Germans etc , should be introduced if people want to feel like their vote actually counts

    Labour needs to introduce a bill about changing FPTP

    Aye, she was the poster girl of Tufton St. They got what they wanted, and the Telegraph/Spectator/Mail axis did proclaim her as the saviour. For 72 hours....
