John Lansman was using Putney as an example of the electoral success of Labour last night.

I didn't realise we were convening a Royal Commission on Electoral Reform today on this football forum. If you can't actually imagine a proportional system for the UK that doesn't involve slightly less than twelve hundred sodding MPs then I've got nothing for you mate.

Jesus wept. There are proportional systems like the one I've described in play all the world. If it ever happened, maybe, just maybe we could work it out within the current 650 MPs. Being that a couple of years ago the Tories proposed boundary changes to reduce total seats to 600 suggests that the number of seats can be revised and amended over time. A new proportional system would be pretty straightforward to map out, not sure why you are making such a meal of it. You're either obtuse or plain stupid. Let me know which.

The rush is because quite frankly he has no right to be there presiding over his own successor and trying to stich up all the votes and sub-committee so he gets to carry on in all but name. Would be utterly shameless if he stays in post to ponce around Labour HQ with his little coterie as if nothing has happened and he's still the man. They're all currently high-fiving themselves about winning Putney as proof that everything they did was right after all. With all your wailing about how jolly awful Boris is, this behaviour by a failed leadership is utterly disgraceful if he doesn't go today.

No one is saying announce the new leader today. But Corbyn could do the decent thing and resign today. It's absolutely shameful he hasn't gone already. The malignant cancer of Lansmann and Milne, Bastini and the rest of the socialist worker crew have never given two shi ts about changing the country, just owning the Labour Party. A little set back like yesterday they are already brushing off and they will try and fester and cling to their little bit of "power".+

What I've described is a combination of voting for a representation by an individual identifiable MP for geographic areas plus a top up list to better reflect proportionality, again by area. I haven't made it up, it's how Germany and Scotland do it and used elsewhere but I can't be bothered to look.

Yes. All governments are coalitions anyway because Peter Bone and Justine Greening are poles apart as are Denis Skinner and David Miliband but they all served as part of parties with working majorities. Lots of countries have rolling coalitions and quite frankly it could work perfectly well. And say qhat you like about the Conservative/Lib Dem coalition but it was very disciplined - more than Major, Brown or Camerons majorities anyway.

Yes that looks rather too simplistic. Whatever a UK PR system would be it definitely would not be as basic as all votes for the whole nation divided into exactly proportional seats. Areas still need MPs that represent their opinions and MPs would need a connection to a constituency to reflect the differences in areas. So would be a combination of constituency seats and regional top-ups to make it more proportional. Anyway, it isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Indeed- the Labour Party did not have leaving the SM and Customs Union in their manifesto in 2017. Weird that on a day that they've had such a comprehensive victory there is still a need for the likes of Littlewood to lie and still go on about betrayal. You've won, lads. Get over it.

I've got to say I am really disappointed to be seeing the back of that Jo Swinson.

Let's see. He'll probably sit down with Seamus and Uncle Len and the rest of that pond-life this morning and convince themselves that they have done nothing wrong and it is the electorate that simply must change.

What?

The idea that he is going to walk back into the commons and even consider doing a PMQs is utterly ridiculous. Tone deaf, utterly contemptuous of all of the natural Labour voters he has turned his back on.

I wake up to read that the best the cretin can come out with is that he wont lead the party "in the next election". Oh, you're spoiling us. Any normal human being would resign immediately. Will be (yet another) absolute disgrace if that doesn't happen today.

Today probably not a great day to pretend that Corbyn is popular or has popular policies, sweetheart.

419 seats. 412 seats. 355 seats. How's your cu nt doing?

Take a bow Alan Johnson. Absolutely laying into Lansmann, the Cretin and the fu cking cult that the Labour Party have become. ................. Alan Johnson lets rip - Corbyn was a disaster on the doorstep.. I want the Momentum cult out of the party, I want them gone.. [emoji122] #GeneralElection #UKElection https://t.co/YWfAQ0vh6s

Two-nil Labour. Effing smashing it.

Shakespeare's Sister win Sunderland.

Will we still get free broadband?

Am I allowed to say he will never, ever be Prime Minister now?

Get that fu cking cretin out.

Boris by 35.

It's pretty astonishing how much of a moron you are.

This exciting new information pretty much guarantees a 150 seat working majority for Corbyn and comrades. Congratulations Jeremy and everyone at Sqwarkbox.
