They're doing my tits in
Yes, correct, but maybe there is an arguement for some kind of electoral college type system?
Something that can bridge the gap
An electoral college for the legislature how
Idk how my dude
Just a, something that will bridge the gap between what the country as a whole wants
And what local constituencies want
What you're asking for is an elected executive
And that opens a huuuuuuuge can of worms
Idk what I'm asking for
I'm asking for something that looks to bridge the gap between what local voting blocs want, and what the country wants
Maybe another house that isnt proportional that fulfils some role?
Just spit balling
That is proportional*
One thing I do know is FPTP is weird, and I'm not sure I like it with a house that has full control over itself, the country and everything else. After the whole brexit shit show I'd like to see some reforms.
380. relaistic.
lol
340 if you're lucky
Fuck off doompill!
Let me think about it.
Get real
With the polls suggesting 410+ I am being realistic
The polls are wrong
You tell me where they're going to pick up 125 seats from
Wales, the North of England
40mps from wales, of which 8 are already tory
Ok? The tories are 3% ahead in wales now instead of being 15% behind, that'll translate into a good gathering of seats
13 in wales have less than 10,000 majority to overturn
so that leaves you 112 short
not including the 13 in scotland the tories are likely to lose
They'll also run candidates in the seats that ejected tories held
They're not though
Aberdeen and the borders are going to keep their tories
possibly
Not possibly, I live up here, those are going to be retained, Id be very surprised otherwise
and i'm not trying to be unkind, but 410+ is absurd, 380 is still obscenely and unrealistically optomistic
Not according to polling
the polling relies on models that haven't been built to take into account brexit
The polls just ask people what they're voting
yes, it's a sample
