American militias arming up

[Juninho10]

They had nothing like a majority of the vote.

Remind me.... what party has the most MPs?


Tories had 43% of the vote
Labour had 32%

 

[Juninho10]

They didn't gain 50%+ of the voting share, so if you are taking that as a second referendum then they lost. The country has a small majority for remain now

What party has the most MPs?

What party campaigned on "Get Brexit Done" ?

You do understand that the number of MPs has absolutely nothing to do with the percentage of the vote?

Tories had 43% of the vote
Labour had 32%
They 'won' with the largest majority out of any single party

Sorry leftie

So 57% voted against the Tories - that's the problem with an undemocratic system.

Doesn't matter - everyone knows the rules - most MPs win

A shame that most of the electorate will lose.

Blame the Political parties on the left - they split their own vote

It's fine for either side to say "haha leftie" or "in your face tory boy" the system that we use is still not fit for purpose. it's antiquated and undemocratic. no one in their right mind should be throwing high fives around when the majority of votes in this country do not count towards who gets to goven us.

I'm waiting for an epistocracy... judging by most of the comments on here it's long overdue.

All for that - provided you make sure everybody is educated and informed. Absolutely no chance of that at all. Murdoch and his "free" press would see to that. Last thing they want is an educated and informed electorate.

Everybody gets what nobody wants...

So yes, 57% of voters voted against the slogan get Brexit Done and an oven ready lie.

If this was a second ref, which it wasn't, it's clear that tide had turned against a Tory Brexit.

Back to the original topic, I assume nothing came about from the militias gathering in Louisville?

Don't know, but I think it's fair to assume that we're going to see alot more actions like that. It's a concern.

The only thing were getting done by is the undemocratic EU trying to kick us in the nuts and keep control of us
by the back door. WTO rules now.

You mean USA rules... As the UK begs for trade deals. divide & rule

Undemocratic? It's the UK that's undemocratic, not the EU.

The USA has never helped the UK. They made sure the UK paid heavily for help in ww2. They'll do the same again. The special relationship is only special to the UK
