they had a shot

2020-02-10 12:43:08 UTC  

and fucked it

2020-02-10 12:43:10 UTC  

To one where votes are equal

2020-02-10 12:43:26 UTC  

are you just a replay of america?

2020-02-10 12:43:36 UTC  

what.. equal per person? or equal per candidate of an area?

2020-02-10 12:43:38 UTC  

next you're gonna tell me that blonde man bad

2020-02-10 12:43:44 UTC  

2019: conservative one MP per 20,000 votes

2020-02-10 12:43:51 UTC  

Lib Dem’s one MP per 500,000

2020-02-10 12:43:54 UTC  

Or something like that

2020-02-10 12:44:08 UTC  

It was a ridiculous difference regardless

2020-02-10 12:44:23 UTC  

Atm huge numbers of voters have no representation

2020-02-10 12:44:28 UTC  

Because of “safe seats”

2020-02-10 12:44:34 UTC  

You might as well just not cite

2020-02-10 12:44:36 UTC  

Vote*

2020-02-10 12:44:52 UTC  

Parliament doesn’t reflect the vote share

2020-02-10 12:44:57 UTC  

and that’s a fact

2020-02-10 12:45:05 UTC  

"and that's a fact"

2020-02-10 12:45:07 UTC  

ok pewdiepie

2020-02-10 12:45:13 UTC  

Oof

2020-02-10 12:45:14 UTC  

isnt this why they re-jig the constituencies? to more represent the population

2020-02-10 12:45:28 UTC  

It’s a plaster for a big wound

2020-02-10 12:45:33 UTC  

Doesn’t solve the root issue

2020-02-10 12:45:38 UTC  

Which is our voting system

2020-02-10 12:45:58 UTC  

flowing preferences is the only decent "solution"

2020-02-10 12:46:02 UTC  

I mean if you did one vote for each person... basically everywhere outside of london would be even less represented than it is already

2020-02-10 12:46:21 UTC  

does the UK have preference flows in elections currently?

2020-02-10 12:46:21 UTC  

Not really

2020-02-10 12:46:29 UTC  

London doesn’t hold most of the UK population

2020-02-10 12:46:47 UTC  

But as the capital and largest city and biggest financial city in thr world

2020-02-10 12:46:51 UTC  

theres more people in london than the whole of scotland

2020-02-10 12:46:54 UTC  

Obviously it will have influence in an election

2020-02-10 12:47:11 UTC  

Unless you want MPs to prioritise a welsh village over the capital of the U.K.

2020-02-10 12:47:25 UTC  

then everyone will flood to london... even more than they do now...

2020-02-10 12:47:32 UTC  

How?

2020-02-10 12:47:33 UTC  

Wtf

2020-02-10 12:47:40 UTC  

That’s such a ridiculous assumption

2020-02-10 12:47:56 UTC  

because everyone will move to where the candidates are helping the most

2020-02-10 12:48:01 UTC  

Except, you cannot apply the results of one voting system as predictions to another. Nevertheless, stv would be interesting

2020-02-10 12:48:19 UTC  

where most voters are congregating

2020-02-10 12:48:29 UTC  

Anyway, I want a fairer voting system that creates a parliament that reflects the votes

2020-02-10 12:48:36 UTC  

You can be anti democracy if you want
