nah that's not a democracy
you see how this works?
But the REPRESENTATIVES will be elected more faith
Fairly *
you want representative? It is unlike preferential voting in Australia where voters indicate their preferences and votes are distributed until there are two candidates left and the one with the most votes wins.
Take the Scottish seat of North East Fife, held by the Scottish National Party (SNP) by the thinnest of margins: two votes.
In the 2017 election, SNP candidate Stephen Gethins won the seat with 13,743 votes — or 32.9 per cent of the vote.
The rival Liberal Democrats polled 13,741 and the Conservative Party came in third with 10,088.
That means the votes of the 66 per cent who didn't cast a vote for the SNP didn't "count".
we have a parliamentry democracy
you're asking for a different one by calling the current one not a democracy
^^ I ripped a quote out an article
and it wasnt secret voting either... there are voting cards from 1843 with peoples names on
Greasy
That is my point
Those votes now have 0 representation
It’s like they never existed
but yours is not a democracy either, by the definition that you're using
so lets go full nuke on this and have a direct democracy if you're so worried about that
I said the same thing when it happened to UKIP
and some people got more "votes" than others... like one woman got 4 votes, because she owned a chain of butchers (this was on the 1843 voting card)
So it’s not just me wanting Lib Dem’s to do well
yes it is
I just want the two party system shaken up
It's not about redrawing borders of voting districts, it's about having a 'less worse' outcome for the majority
you applying your ideas consistently doesn't stop you from just wanting lib dems to do well
But it’s not lmao
these are not mutually exclusive
lmfao
I will probably vote keir starmer
In the next election
So you’re just utterly wrong
I just want a better voting system
switcherooo
no one was talking about who you're voting for
You mean I base my votes on who I want at the time
Instead of tribalismv
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Where I will only be loyal to one party
For the rest of my life
stay on topic
You’re looking like a fool atm
you think that
says the labour / lib dem voter
Regardless of who I’m voting for, I want a fairer system to elect our representatives
