Sounds about right

2019-10-16 11:20:57 UTC  

I thought they would be well ahead of everyone else.

2019-10-16 11:21:09 UTC  

Why?

2019-10-16 11:21:44 UTC  

Look at what both labour and the conservitives are doing, they are a laughing stock.

2019-10-16 11:22:07 UTC  

Cons kind of pulled the rug out from under them @Great Britain with BoJo's recent drive to do what people voted for.

2019-10-16 11:22:08 UTC  

Boris is the figure that everyone is watching.
And he is getting the sympathy when parliament and the opposition screw him over

2019-10-16 11:22:33 UTC  

Also, the first past the post system kinda guarantees hegemony for the 2-party system

2019-10-16 11:22:54 UTC  

Boris is doing ok, I like how he is fighting for his position and trying to get brexit done right

2019-10-16 11:23:49 UTC  

But he isnt one of us

2019-10-16 11:24:25 UTC  

parties are gay anyways

2019-10-16 11:24:33 UTC  

but inevitable

2019-10-16 11:24:51 UTC  

@Great Britain maybe not, but he's walking like a duck and quacking like a duck so he's duck enough for most people

2019-10-16 11:25:03 UTC  

inevitable in this sort of system

2019-10-16 11:25:11 UTC  

He isnt addressing the bigger issues such as the cause of all this knife crime, the male suicide rates and our low birth rates as well as the issue of mass immigration.

2019-10-16 11:27:05 UTC  

He has addressed mass immigration

2019-10-16 11:27:21 UTC  

He has proposed in the queens speech a move to a points-based system

2019-10-16 11:27:27 UTC  

With FPTP is all tactical voting and voting for people with “close enough goals”
I want to vote for UKIP but if I do it’s very likely that my vote will just go to waste

2019-10-16 11:27:49 UTC  

I live in an area where the Tories polled >50% last election, so I have some fredom

2019-10-16 11:28:05 UTC  

Didnt have time to watch the queens speech

2019-10-16 11:28:17 UTC  

You don't need to, you can read the transcript

2019-10-16 11:28:38 UTC  

What is this points based system?

2019-10-16 11:29:02 UTC  

I don't know the details and likely it hasn't been published yet

2019-10-16 11:29:11 UTC  

But they were using Australia as a model

2019-10-16 11:29:37 UTC  

I would imagine the idea is that you require x-points to qualify, and points are given for desired skills, language etc

2019-10-16 11:29:42 UTC  

I know the immigration is pretty bad over there as well

2019-10-16 11:30:48 UTC  

I guess the idea is to only allow the immigrants with skills in.
Rather then having a accept **everyone** and hope they are doctors and scientists in there

2019-10-16 11:31:27 UTC  

Basically

2019-10-16 11:31:31 UTC  

Right, but we still have a huge amount of worl to do already

2019-10-16 11:31:39 UTC  

Look at london

2019-10-16 11:31:57 UTC  

"London is a shithole" PJW

2019-10-16 11:32:17 UTC  

Most metropolises are

2019-10-16 11:32:23 UTC  

These days

2019-10-16 11:32:28 UTC  

It's areas of high population density

2019-10-16 11:32:29 UTC  

No, always

2019-10-16 11:32:38 UTC  

It's a quality inherent to dense populations

2019-10-16 11:33:01 UTC  

London has always been a shithole. It varies a little over time, but is mostly a shithole, now, then, always

2019-10-16 11:34:18 UTC  

allowing in immigration based on skills only isn't that much an improvement i don't think

2019-10-16 11:34:23 UTC  

you could argue it's even a lateral move

2019-10-16 11:34:57 UTC  

It'll reduce the numbers and ensure competition for lower skilled workers will help that end of the jobs market

2019-10-16 11:35:13 UTC  

The points system needs to be draconian enough to reduce the headline figures

2019-10-16 11:35:22 UTC  

And they all look exactly the same, the same post modern architecture.
