First Past The Post
I want to cunt the FIRST PAST THE POST voting system.
On the surface it might appear democratic, but is it really?
For example, at the 2015 General Election, with 4 MILLION votes, UKIP were awarded a grand total of ONE seat to represent their voters in the House of Common Cunts.
Compare and contrast that with the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS who, with only 2.4 million votes, were awarded 8 seats… shurley shome mishtake?
But it gets better – With a paltry 1.4 million votes, the SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY were awarded… drum roll… 56 fucking seats!
UKIP got more votes than the SNP & LibDumbs COMBINED! Yet still ended up with only 1 seat compared to SNP /LD’s 64!
Meanwhile the MONSTER RAVING LOONY PARTY, with 400,000 votes, were awarded precisely 0 seats (the SNP got 15 for the same number!)
Get the picture?
(in case anyone’s wondering, the Tories received 11.3 million votes and ended up with 331 seats, whilst Labour got 9.3 million votes for 232 seats. Between the two of them, that works out at approximately 400,000 votes per seat…so much for democracy).
What’s required imo is a system of Proportional Representation, STV for example (Google it). Though not the AV bollocks shite put to the electorate by the LibDumbs back in the 2011 referendum when they were part of the coalition, remember that?
With Proportional Representation cunts might even feel motivated to vote for who they actually want, instead of being obliged to choose between the lesser of two evils. Unfortunately the Con /Lab /Civil Service axis of evil isn’t interested in anything like that cos “we’re doing very well as we are thank you very much”, not wishing to allow fair representation of the 60% + who voted for some fucker else.
And don’t get me started on those Remoaner cunts who deliberately seek to confuse referendums and general elections in the mind of the voting public. Referendums (in this country at least) are supposed to be a once in a generation binary choice vehicle designed to settle an issue Parliament is unwilling or unable to resolve itself. Brexit for example… or Capital Punishment (if only…)
General Elections on the other hand are held every 5 years by default to elect a Government.
PS: The first EU In/Out Referendum took place in 1975. FORTY ONE YEARS later (in 2016) us plebs were eventually granted another. If the Remoaners want a THIRD referendum, or “loser’s vote”, shouldn’t we show magnanimity and accede to their wish…. in… say… 2057?
