you guys aren't really fond of coalition governments too right?

in Britain?

2019-09-03 22:38:51 UTC  

coalitions are more likely with a proportional representation system

ye true that

2019-09-03 22:39:06 UTC  

Coalitions are awful

well, more like necessary lol

2019-09-03 22:39:19 UTC  

Nothing ever gets done in them

meh, just a lot of compromise

2019-09-03 22:39:23 UTC  

read that as october revolution lol

2019-09-03 22:39:32 UTC  

FPTP 2-party leads to stable government, but also intransigence and incompetence

2019-09-03 22:39:37 UTC  

The last time someone other then the Con or Lab were in power was in 1922 with the Liberals

2019-09-03 22:39:48 UTC  

Look at Mays coalition with the DUP, nothing got done

2019-09-03 22:39:59 UTC  

Wasn't the coalitions' fault, James

2019-09-03 22:40:08 UTC  

Look at the lib dem Conservative coalition

2019-09-03 22:40:17 UTC  

Well that was just shit

2019-09-03 22:40:20 UTC  

But it was funcitonal

Coalitions are useless

you're just inexperienced as a country at forming coalitions, NL has a four party coalition rn😂

2019-09-03 22:40:46 UTC  

Were used to being a two party state

2019-09-03 22:40:58 UTC  

Like the US really

true true, fptp and all tht

2019-09-03 22:41:03 UTC  

Though we wish we could get rid of labour

to replace with who? Lib dem?😂

2019-09-03 22:41:21 UTC  

It would be much better to have the old days of the Conservatives against the Liberals

2019-09-03 22:41:32 UTC  

actual liberals

2019-09-03 22:41:36 UTC  

Although i mean the old Liberals not the current Lib Dems

2019-09-03 22:41:43 UTC  

and not the US definition of liberal

2019-09-03 22:41:45 UTC  

They have been awful ever since they merged with the SDP

2019-09-03 22:41:49 UTC  

There are no liberals in the UK

2019-09-03 22:41:54 UTC  

There are a handful within Conservatives

2019-09-03 22:42:01 UTC  

Nearest liberal party is UKIP

2019-09-03 22:42:11 UTC  

illiberal undemocrats

2019-09-03 22:42:13 UTC  

There is a Libertarian Party

2019-09-03 22:42:20 UTC  

Libertarian !== Liberal

2019-09-03 22:42:32 UTC  

Although it is essentially non-existent when it comes to actual vote share

2019-09-03 22:42:50 UTC  

The Libertarians of today were the Liberals about 20-30 years ago

2019-09-03 22:43:28 UTC  

Libertarians are nearly as dumb as the Anarcho-Capitalists

ehhh dont know if i agree with that Electic lizard
