Pot calls kettle ?

The only 'Trump derangement' is exhibited by the MAGA morons who still swallow his BS without hesitation or questioning.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6p28g8qy3eo Rishi Sunak is facing calls to expel Suella Braverman from the Conservative Party following remarks she made about an LGBTQ+ flag.

Greenbelt

Whilst I have little interest in their leadership squabbles, I am even less interested in JRM's upcoming 'reality' TV series, which, when my wife read about it, I assumed was a remake of 'The Victorian Family'.

Just looked at the Sussex score and glad I'm not.

On the BBC live text ; Phil McNulty "Did I think that was a penalty? Absolutely not -..." Alan Shearer "....the Dutch will feel hard done by" Lee Dixon "I don't think it's a penalty but I don't care."

That is bollox from VAR.

Do you think there is any inclination whatsoever within the new Labour Government to set such an independent commission up ? The only reason we had that pathetic excuse for a PR referendum under David Cameron was that it was a condition set by the LDs for creating the coalition agreement.

But, but, but, they used a precision weapon.

Sunak says that Starmer faces a 'formidable task'. He should know, it's a mess of his making.

Unless you can find a system acceptable to the Tories and Labour we won't be getting a referendum.

So I don't get the t-shirt. ;-(

So why say it in response to one of my posts ?

Kinda spoils it that I didn't actually do any 'kicking'. Would I be claiming credit under false pretense.

Can I have the t-shirt ?

Who is 'giving you a kicking' ? You raised the question of what other countries do, I provided some evidence. No aggression, no barbs. FYI, the US adopted OUR system. The issue of whether Trump should stand is nothing whatsoever to do with the process underpinning their electoral system. The problem with you at the moment is that you are just getting too damned precious, and other than wanting the informed debate you seemed to invite in the OP you take offence or shoot down anybody who doesn't immediately agree with you.

On the question of what other countries do, about 8 times as many countries use FPTP than use AV, including, of course, the champion of democracy, the United States of America.
