Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
I like how you speak as if you have knowledge of how/why people wanted to leave the EU.
Clue - you don't. I have wanted to leave the EU for over a decade, so don't come up with rubbish about Brexit being a scapegoat for crap government and or a protest vote - though I don't doubt there were protest votes, I actually believe people voted for Brexit en-masse, because, um, they actually do want to leave the EU. |

There were a whole load of reasons why people voted to leave. The insistence on this only being the simplistic options given on the ballot paper is and will continue to be the problem. ---------- Post added at 08:48 ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 ---------- @Sephiroth Please explain why genuine PR would not change anything? What was offered was little different to FPTP, so I m not surprised the majority voted to keep the known undemocratic system rather than switch to a similarly undemocratic electoral system. |

Conflating “Europe" as one group thinking the same way is a fallacy, and used to support a "us vs them" approach. |

Voters are not buying into the Tory or Labour manifesto pledges in sufficient numbers for them to do the job unhindered. As the Libs got burned last time by little more than lip service coalition, they are not going to jump in again without a decent negotiation and guarantees, neither of which May was prepared to offer. Instead of which, a party no one on the mainland can vote for, is holding the Tories to ransom. People vote X because it is better than Y, rather than voting for Z whose policies they actually support. PR gives people the choice to vote for what they actually support, rather than the negative voting of the current system. |

Look at the series of weak governments Italy has had to put up with over the years. We don't want that here. |
