LibDems get 70 seats to 4 over Reform with 2% fewer votes
And they laugh at the American systemâŚ
To people living over there, is there any chance of labour putting electoral reform in place?
They just won off of the current system. Why would they change it?
Every party apart from Labour and Conservative party support changing from first past the post.
But because the two big parties are against it, it wonât happen.
Itâs got nothing to do with the major parties at this point. Itâs because the British population are, collectively, fucking idiots. They had a chance to fix it in 2011. Two thirds of those who voted voted against it. Half of the population couldnât even be fucked forming an opinion. Theyâve got the system they deserve.
Greens have surged into second place in my constituency (Islington South & Finsbury) as well, with an increase of 13.2% of the vote share. Tories have dropped to 4th with just 3500 votes and almost beaten by reform. Turnout just 58% here.
Fuck the Tories
Paywalled. But the headline is enough. Keep fighting among yourselves, peasants.

Remember kids, every culture war is to distract you from the class war!
Canât afford groceries? Thatâs because of class.
Canât afford rent? Thatâs because of class.
No job security? Class.
Living in an increasingly fragile world that could collapse at any moment? Class.

Well primarily because itâs a far superior system that better reflects the true preferences of the electorate.
Other than that it may have helped them this time but it has hurt them in the past. The âleftâ or centre vote is just as likely to split as the right vote was this election.
Strikes me as someone whoâd be a simply exceptional public servant, but not necessarily a good politician. Disciplined, organised, competent⌠just not particularly likeable.

Guessing it wouldâve be Labour/Lib Dems/Greens coalition if proportional voting.
Looks like what you get when you ask an AI to make a picture of a prime minister and it spits out a generic old white man

You can see he really cares about what he sees as the issue too. Heâs not just there to be a fuckwit and cause trouble.
