@Dr_TheHistories ALL electoral systems can mathematically produce anomalous results. There are many many examples of terrible outcomes associated with PR systems.
But for some reason, analysts only seem to have an interest in rubbishing majoritarian systems.
@ScotNational Because SNP members of parliament would NEVER do that ๐๐คฃ๐
Is this like the Welsh Nats moaning that opposition parties vote with Reform, and the next day thry go and vote with Reform?
Basically anything the nats say is hypocritical and self serving.
@stevomcl67@thecasualultra We don't need to 'cry'.
WE still have the islands and will have them for a good many years to come. Argentina's opinion is irrelevant to us.
@Telegraph The problem is the whole mentality of the BBC. Faced with a problem of left wing bias, their solution is to try to purge any rightwingers and make it MORE left wing!
Their news is full of blatent lies and half-truths. And they have put DEI above just making great programmes.
@Telegraph Maybe because there is no actual advantage to tabling a vote of confidence. I think people will see it as playing games.
It didn't help Labour in 1990 and it wouldn't help us today.
@novaramedia Vote for loony politicians, get loony policies.
Because the last thing the Greens are interested in is anything that will make Lewisham people safer.
@Telegraph Nice to hear her getting it all wrong and talking rubbish right to the end.
At least its confirmation that her imminent sacking is the right thing to do.
@LukeTryl And this is before an election campaign which will propel Kemi forward into the public eye. Her problem is that most voters haven't seen or heard from her yet. When they do andcwhen she gets fair publicity, expect her popularity to take off.
@Telegraph The one positive thing you could have said about Red Ed was that he stuck to his principles.
They may have been barmy and they may have been destroying the country and made lives harder. But he stuck to them.
And now we can't even say that. Its all about his own career advance.
@LibDems Labour are extremely thick when it comes to this. They did it in Scottish local elections and destroyed their local base; again in Wales where they went from being the ONLY party that could win to now being a poor 3rd.
Why should they now destroy their electoral advantage in GEs?
@ChathamHouse@DavidLammy This government has been terrible on foreign policy and left Britain humiliated across the globe.
The only reason foreign policy establishment bods think its been great is because Sir Keir has quietly signed us back up to all the EUs demands. And that is all that matters it seems
@Nairametrics Whenever there is a choice to be made, Labour always chooses to be anti-Britain.
People blamed the Tories for immigration getting out of control, but at least the Tories genuinely wanted to do something about it.
But Labour have an electoral interest in uncontrolled migration.
@thomsonchris@Telegraph We gave Scots a referendum and they there will be another at some point in the future.
But the SNP themselves said it was "once in a generation" until they LOST!
Also Scotland was never a colony. It was a union of consent as they were almost bankrupt and needed England's money.
