Just in case anyone has forgotten when this all started.... http://youtu.be/HfXmpJRZPYI

Even if only 25% of Labour MP's voted with Cameron it'd still go his way, I think. I just hope enough of them have learned something from the past 12 years.

Why not get something built on Ultegra disk brake hubs... They're v good.

What's the thinking with the rear wheel being pulled forward under you like that?

STV isn't proportional representation, it's just a fairer type of "winner-takes-all" system than FPTP.

I see your point, but I think it is PR in that seats are distributed according to share of the vote.

I may get it tomorrow

True, but context important... I was replying to a post which suggested that the majority had voted for the govt.

Quelle surprise. This is the shit that the Labour Party need to get stuck into. Being an actual opposition rather than tearing strips off of each other.

There's probably no perfect solution, but some form of PR, probably STV, would be my preference. It's more democratic than FPTP, and it is also unlikely that extreme parties would get many 2nd pref votes. Can't say I don't like the idea of everybody voting, but not sure I could stretch to making it compulsory! I still get a slight thrill from voting (although usually followed by bitter disappointment).

Except of course that the majority of people didn't vote for this shower of cunts.
Only ~42% of the electorate voted for something other than the Tories.

(Stats abuse with low turnout elections can be fun, and statistics based on the entire electorate can be used both ways when voting is not mandatory.)

True. But the majority of people eligible to vote did not vote Tory, and that's fact not stats abuse. It's far from democratic, and it pisses me off that the wishes of a minority are foisted on everybody else.

Indeed. It's a farce.

No one actually has a fucking clue how to deal with the issue, so it's turing into a classic case of it being "better" to do something, even if it's the wrong thing, than it is to do nothing.

Plenty of successful modern countries don't feel the need to get stuck in to bombing shit. We need to take political and economic action against the Sunni state sponsors of IS, and get stuck into reducing our oil dependence which prevents us doing this.

This is the weakness of a democracy though- the majority can be wrong. Look at the current government for

More money being announced for NHS today, but less than the 4% per year the NHS needs to stand still, so in reality it's going backwards. By 2020 funding will be <8% of GDP (France, Germany, Holland spend >11%)

What, the whole sport?! What's the rule? How does that work?
