EU elections

[Hacker Khan]

If it's orbiting this planet it's to close.

Back to the proportional representation idea. I was strongly for it. The idea of a percentage of votes equals a percentage of MPs. Yup I was for it. But the last three years, if anything has been proven. Parties cannot and will not compromise. How can you compromise with Theresa May. Corbyn, what is going on in his head. How can you compromise or negotiate with someone who changes his mind from day to day.
What narks me is that the people have spoken, they have given the HOP a mandate to leave, but they can ot make a decision ( insert own reasons why here. ). Yet there is a growing clamour to bounce it back to Joe public for a second referendum. If they cannot of will not catty out the will of the people, you are not good enough. Quit.
Me I go along with the anarchy bit, people are getting frustrated and angry.

Perhaps in a PR system a party would not chose leaders that are so ideologically dogmatic and more those that are open to some compromise.

I'm sure Sturgeon would be over the moon if proportional representation was ever adopted by the UK.

Assuming you are being ironic

Why ? We have it in Scotland.
PR would certainly bring a fairer system to the rUK

Nice to see the MEP who said the Brexit Party was a front for money laundering received legal papers this morning..... response should be interesting

Is PR a bad thing? It shouldn't be about which politicians like it, it should be about whats best for the UK.

Where did I say it was a bad idea?

Jo Swinson will be the next leader, she will do well.

Well let's see. Though a General Election in the not too distant future might see her struggle to hold her East Dunbartonshire seat. Good luck to her.

The Policeman from Family Guy is the new Lib Dim leader? Wow!

She has no chance of holding her seat after her false comments on the Govan further education statistics.
She haplessly continued to support her porkies after every professional body called them out as false.
