Is that gonna be your new nickname then? :mellow:

Thanks.

I've tried Googling this, but can't find anything - what is your source?

I've been checking the figures, and in only 16 seats that the Tories gained was the Brexit vote higher than their margin of victory, so they'd still have had a majority of 48. And a bit of fantasy psephology : if ~27,300 people had voted for the runners-up instead of the Tories in their closest wins, they would not have had a HoC majority...

Only if she was not credited, presumably. :rolleyes:

Damn, I was just going to post about this. :P

Ah, I always thought including them was a mistake.

Well you asked for a non-racist example, and since eminem is white, it must be that.

Yes, what happened to them? :unsure:

If the EU tries to foist a deal on us that's worse than No Deal, surely we should have the option to walk away, whatever the manifesto said?

Updated to T40

Why do you take that as read? I don't agree - we can still walk away with No Deal if necessary.

Football politics lot? :huh:

OK...

And who do you think they would they conscript if they ever needed bodies for that EU army - I bet the young wouldn't be so keen under those circumstances... :teresa:

Are you accusing them of using hyperbole?

OK, do you think Eminem is a good role model?

They gotta be kidding, thinking a poll of 1500 people means more than the GE... :rolleyes: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/polit...l-a9279996.html

Well, abolishing the HoL, rather than merely reforming it, would remove one of the important checks in our democracy.

In which post? :huh:

That's the whole point of PR, smaller parties not getting swamped by FPTP.

You make him sound like Jeffrey Epstein. :o

So the SNP are now benefiting from a system designed to stop Labour, not them!

1. It's somewhat patronising to suggest that the 55% were naive. :mellow: 2. Any proportional system rarely gives a party 50% of the votes/seats, so to suggest it was designed that way is a bit of a stretch. Also, I suspect the desire for Independence is somewhat overstated, due to the way FPTP distorts results - 48/59 seats, but on only 45% of the vote share. 3. I may be cynical, but I suspect the main reason Scots want to remain in the EU is that, as a small nation, they would be a net recipient. It may be stating the obvious, but they would have even less influence in the EU than they do in the UK.

So how would you feel if a young woman went out independently 'gold-digging' for a rich older man - is that OK? :unsure: What about a dating website set up for the same purpose?
