It would be difficult to negotiate but not impossible

2019-02-15 23:27:26 UTC  

This orgy of coalitions

2019-02-15 23:27:34 UTC  

It shits on the idea of democracy

2019-02-15 23:27:48 UTC  

What kind of democracy is a coalition made to stop a popular party?

2019-02-15 23:28:02 UTC  

I’m not against coalitions but prefer a single party government

2019-02-15 23:28:14 UTC  

I'm against orgy coalitions

2019-02-15 23:28:38 UTC  

Massive blocs which basically eliminates the idea of choice

2019-02-15 23:29:46 UTC  

The Uk most recent coalition was the conservatives and liberals democrats coalition from 2010-2015 it was stable and had not been used to keep a popular party out

2019-02-15 23:30:04 UTC  

It was not an orgy coalition

2019-02-15 23:30:16 UTC  

British coalitions are nothing like European coalitions

2019-02-15 23:30:39 UTC  

The wartime coalition worked in the uk

2019-02-15 23:30:59 UTC  

You can't compare that to coalitions

2019-02-15 23:31:15 UTC  

That was a time of emergency when the parties just threw out politics

2019-02-15 23:31:45 UTC  

Plus, the Tories got lucky with that coalition

2019-02-15 23:32:04 UTC  

That coalition could have only worked with Churchill and Attlee in charge of their respective parties

2019-02-15 23:32:12 UTC  

And that was in the case of war

2019-02-15 23:32:39 UTC  

Meanwhile, Europe makes coalitions like people make sandwiches

2019-02-15 23:32:42 UTC  

Both Churchill and Attlee where good prime ministers

2019-02-15 23:33:08 UTC  

Of course they were

2019-02-15 23:33:17 UTC  

They were perfect for the time they ruled

2019-02-15 23:33:30 UTC  

Churchill was good for wartime and Attlee was good for post-war

2019-02-15 23:34:45 UTC  

It's not a coincidence that the nations that have never had a coup are the ones that use different electoral systems (FPTP and Electoral College)

2019-02-15 23:35:03 UTC  

Churchill was prime minster from 1940-1945,1951-1955
Attlee was prime minster from 1945-1951

2019-02-15 23:35:14 UTC  

Attlee should have won 51

2019-02-15 23:35:22 UTC  

Why

2019-02-15 23:35:22 UTC  

They didn't update the election map

2019-02-15 23:35:52 UTC  

So slight imbalance worked out in Churchill's favour

2019-02-15 23:36:11 UTC  

The conservatives won a overall majority but labour got more votes

2019-02-15 23:37:12 UTC  

Yeah

2019-02-15 23:37:25 UTC  

That was the map's fault though

2019-02-15 23:37:28 UTC  

Not the system

2019-02-15 23:38:49 UTC  

The same thing could of happened in 2005 labour could of had a overall majority but the conservatives could of had the most votes

2019-02-15 23:39:14 UTC  

Did Blair landslide 2005?

2019-02-15 23:39:28 UTC  

Or was 2005 the third election?

2019-02-15 23:39:45 UTC  

No a majority of 66 is not a landslide a majority of 100+ is

2019-02-15 23:39:51 UTC  

2005 was a year

2019-02-15 23:39:56 UTC  

Not an election

2019-02-15 23:40:48 UTC  

Yeah, 2005 was his half-term

2019-02-15 23:40:50 UTC  

Build a big wall around @Deleted User

2019-02-15 23:40:58 UTC  

Half way through, he gave it to Brown

2019-02-15 23:41:08 UTC  

Why?
