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

2020-02-10 12:48:42 UTC  

But I know what I want

2020-02-10 12:48:54 UTC  

to live in a place that is a direct democracy?

2020-02-10 12:48:59 UTC  

well I prefer one that represents people more closer to where they live

2020-02-10 12:49:00 UTC  

Lmao

2020-02-10 12:49:07 UTC  

that seems more democratic to me

2020-02-10 12:49:11 UTC  

I’m not suggesting referendums on everything

2020-02-10 12:49:11 UTC  

because representatives are stupid when you have the system you want

2020-02-10 12:49:24 UTC  

votes of the plebs begin

2020-02-10 12:49:36 UTC  

I want parties elected and represented by the actual vote share

2020-02-10 12:49:40 UTC  

You can be anti democracy if you want

2020-02-10 12:49:54 UTC  

but direct democracy is the only true democracy

2020-02-10 12:49:54 UTC  

Not an outdated system that only worked when we had autonomy in each constituency

2020-02-10 12:49:57 UTC  

HEY

2020-02-10 12:49:58 UTC  

HEY

2020-02-10 12:50:02 UTC  

why are you anti democracy?

2020-02-10 12:50:17 UTC  

lets go full on this and have a direct democracy

2020-02-10 12:50:40 UTC  

Well I see you are trolling now
