Its stupid to think it doesn't. In the US the Majority vote in each state goes to the president voted. Then the majority of state votes make the president

A Repesentative Constitutional Republic

so how exactly are people ignored, when they voted for a representative?

It would be like Clinton winning the Presidency

With the least state votes

That ignores how people want to vote, ergo making voting pointless

that representative takes into consideration the wishes of his voters when pointing out a PM

Because the opposite would happen

I can tell you now. If a representative of an opposite party gives no shits about what the opposite party voters say

then they will not be elected by the same people the next time they have to run for office

But the losers win

that is most often suicide for a political career and why it rarely happens

"where minority governments can rule" If its a minority government, they didn't win the vote. Ergo what do they care? They will still win with even less votes

they won the vote because the opposition cannot agree on a common policy direction

this is a multi party system unlike what is possible in the united states

If they came out with fewer votes they lost

No mater the "Number of parties"

the opposition has the opportunity to overthrow the minority government, but then they have to agree on a common direction

if people wished for a common direction, they would not vote for parties that cannot agree

If 1 party gets the majority of votes, how is that not winning with a common direction.

Wait, taking this from the direction they are actually voting for a PM, they arn't. They get not say in the long run.

one party almost never does in situations where negative parliamentarism holds

I think it has happened exactly once in the history of Denmark, for example

Hence why Seperation of Powers is important. *Shrugs*

r/woosh

@Mal so negative parliamentarism is the reason why scanavian countries don't have a majority ruling coaltion?

Is UKIP generally considered to be a fringe party? What has been their historical election odds?

MP wise? Not good at all

Yea they are the equivalent of the Independent party of the US. A couple people here or there, but never any real ground

Godspeed to them honestly.

I am really clueless on British politics but sargon's latest videos are pretty enlightening regarding the general dissolution of Brittain

The way the UK is going these days, it seems unlikely they'll ever gain ground

Unless they go full retard or something

That might make them popular

A case study in why self-awareness and self-preservation go hand in hand

Never work for the mob

I remember a few years back someone wrote a great article based around that chick who wrote that "just kidding I'm white!" tweet several years before that

Really highlighted how unhinged it all is

If I can find it again I'll post it here

Quillette is kicking ass these days
