FPTP= regional leadership that represents at parliament/office, meaning every area in the country gets someone at the table
Not geographical distribution of the population
The UK has literally been enforcing democracy for centuries, but only here on our island, fuck the rest of the world <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
"uk"
"democracy"
Germany after WW2
tbh the uk was one of the slowest nation to adopt anything resembling democracy
fucking france became democratic before the uk
Literally had 3 civil wars over this, many religious wars, a couple of world wars, and the biggest vote in our democratic hsitory 3 years ago, that was reinforced with the GE not 3 weeks ago <:shrug:349342983763656705>

so your nation is incompetent and cant keep its government in order
😉
The parliamentary system is weird. And it’s even weirder in the UK.
I wouldn’t say it’s more democratic that the US.
Disagree. Germany was later than the UK and Russia as well
Actually our government is answerable to people far more than most nations <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
@Sham00e mixed bag
If you don't believe that ask Corbyn <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
germany has had democratic states since before england existed
Germany is the least democratic in Europe imo
germany wasnt in a united form till late so it shouldnt be counted
same thing with italy, very very old democratic states
the volk law is more important than individual sovereignty
Anyways the argument of "regional representation" is quite braindead
People vote, not land
the thought of people like andrew being able to vote is braindead
If more people live in area x than area y then area x should obviously have a bigger say in the democratic process
yeah is that how that works andrew?
The UK is definitely the most advanced in this regard, but that is probably because we've been pushing it since the days of Magna Carta <:shrug:349342983763656705>
so does that mean that those people should have greater say on for example how the government spends its money?
However it isn't perfect and is definitely flawed still
so does that mean that they have a greater say on where the government allocates its budget?
I call BS on that. IF democracy was enforced in the UK the overwhelming majority of policies/decisions wouldn't have happened.
so does that mean that they can spend more on roads for the cities than in the country?
despite the need of the country being greater?
