Colonies do lead to revolutions in most cases, yes.
That's kinda what a colony is when you think about it. A colony that can refuse the colonial overlords is.... well.... not a colony 🤣.
Russia can into tinpot dictator.
Makes sense 😀
I think you give us to much credit 😉. This is the UK. We have an unlimited talent for fucking things up.
Yes Reform would have far more seats under PR, but I don't believe that changes the overarching principle of the matter: fair and representative representation based on votes cast.
Singling out a bogeyman doesn't answer the principle. Do you want people to feel like their vote counts? That's the important part for me.
Sounds like pinko commie talk. Am I right?
I get you. I just think the Tories will never vote for PR, in power or in opposition. And Labour will only entertain the idea when out of office. PR is stuffed under those circumstances.
Just yesterday on Any Questions this came up and Charlie Falconer agreed strongly with the Tory representative in saying that FPTP is the best voting system we have. Despite not actually answering any of the criticism and despite being challenged by other members of the panel on his claims. When you have Labour grandees shitting on PR... any form of PR.... you know it's dead in the water.
Aaaaaand this is why Labour will never countenance this within this parliament.
Despite still being the largest party they'd have to cooperate and form alliances with other parties. Why would they want to do that when they don't have to.
I fear the only way to PR of any sort is to have a situation with a hung parliament where Labour / Conservative parties hold no sway over the eventual coalition that would need to form. Instead a Green / Lib Dem coalition would need to introduce this. And 🤣 that will never happen.
Are these numbers wrong? Why the down votes? How do you down vote numbers 🤔 ?
China. Shipping is a little more but god damn they're cheap.
No fucking way.
