Tempted to do a bare arms joke but will leave that for someone else.
lol. oops.
Yes, things change but because many people will use the argument to that it's been like this since Christ was a lad, often they don't change.
I'm not sure I follow this.
I do think Blair has a reasonable point; it isn't hard to understand FPTP and if you want to do a protest vote that's cool, but you'll get what you get.
I'm not sure this is about protest votes. It's the position that any vote that isn't for an expected winner (the presumed knowledge of which is already a democratically problematic premise) is also an implicit vote for the winner. It's intellectual gymnastics to support Labour's mandate.
