Would you leave a proportion of HoC seats vacant to account for the wishes of those who don't vote, for whatever reason ? After all, their views are equally as valid as those that vote.

Are you not concerned that people voted for Count Binface, thinking it was a good idea. Or the thousands that voted for pro-Gaza independents ? At least we only have 4 MPs of that ilk, France could easily end up with worse actually running the country.

Democracy is a bitch.

What about Lammy makes you think he isn't 'serious' ?

Poole goes Labour by 18 votes.

Pro : Starmer has won, the Tories have imploded Con : the vote share is hardly an endorsement Pro : Starmer has enough MPs to be able to ignore the headbangers on the left Con : He is stimied by the shitshow he has inherited from Sunak and Truss Pro : We should have a stable and consistent Government for the full term Con : With a majority of 170 how can the Government be held to account by the opposition

As Nicola Sturgeon said last night, 'Welcome to First Past The Post'.

And I will happily agree that less than40% of the vote should not give a majority of 170 .

Do they have bridges in Great Yarmouth ?

Reform win 4 seats, puts them on a par with the Greens.

Turnout at 60% is the second lowest since 1918, a fraction above Blair in 2001.

Steve Baker as big a cunt as ever, in defeat.

The Tories have lost May's old seat, Boris' old seat, and Truss' seat.

Starmer is the fifth Labour leader to win a general election, the Tories have had 5 PMs since 2016.

Because of some slight boundary changes our sitting Labour MP being re-elected is shown as a gain from the Conservatives. 🙂

Another North-East turnout only just over 50%.

So he will spend the next 5 years sitting on his arse, with no effective power, banking his MP's salary without having to do anything.

Turnout down in both declrations so far.

Mackems, wannabe Geordies, who in turn are failed Yorkies. All on the wrong side of the Pennines.
