    • Exactly. Sit tight till the other one screws up then it’s your turn and that’s why you should always have controlled opposition so that way you never lose.

    • No, it isn’t. There are other parties or independents.
      Oxfordshire got rid of conservatives, and voted in lib dems in all but one of the seats that went to Labour. Henley and Thame always voted for conservatives. There was a 72. 3% turnout, and lib dems won. It is many of the electorates fault for sticking with the two main parties. Now both Cameron and Boris have lib dems MPs😅

    • We had reform but the social engineering and tribal nature of people still meant there were die hard votes for Labour and tories. That’s the incredible thing.

  1. Labour didn’t do it. The Tories were just so bad. Labour only gained 1.8% on Corbyn’s historical failure. A 35% vote share is the lowest of any winning party. Shows just how bad the Tories have been.

    • ​@PikaJess123 you wouldn’t mind I they did? Lol love how you’re going to reconcile that with the cost of living crisis. Besides politicians always say anything to get elected. Give it 6 months the government will take more of our money

    • @@PikaJess123 Putting more to the NHS won’t fix the NHS. The NHS is a money blackhole, it’s broken to the core. It’s needs rebuilding from the ground up not more money that will be wasted on managers.

  2. Reminder that in Europe, only the UK and Belarus use FPTP. That the LD got 1 seat for every 50k votes received while Reform got 1 seat for every 1 million votes received is daft.

    • ​@@PersonalPariahthat’s because, despite your age you have been indoctrinated by social engineering. Perhaps your 40ish plus years means you’ve succumbed to it. But I do know you are old enough to have seen through the empty promises of the left right dichotomy smokeshow. Shame on you.

  3. So Labours vote share increased by 1.6% and as aresult it gets 100% increasse in seats share. That’s some cool democracy. Looking forward to doing 1.6% more work in my job and getting a 100% pay rise.

  4. Economy gone, borders gone, civil rights gone, healthcare gone, infrastructure gone, transport gone, brexit gone, education gone, military gone. Shameful protest “win”.
