General Election - July 2024

Post twoleftfeet »

This appears to be the rumour on Sky. An easy win for Starmer and some big names losing their seats. The Country needs a change but is it going to get one? The thought of seeing that annoying Beth Rigby for 6 weeks though is a horrifying thought.

Everyone had the chance to vote for Proportional Representation when the Lib Dem’s demanded it as the price for them being in coalition Didn’t go through as people were too stupid to understand it or the current system suited them at the time It’s obviously more sensible & fairer but hey ho

"Shapps, Rees-Mogg, Truss and Fabricant, all gone and all indicative of a poor Conservative Party. Useless, ignorant wannabes who sold our country down a shitty river with their obfuscation and bullshit, good riddance to the most incompetent bunch of cunts to grace our once great parliament."

"Sad to see that a number of pro Palestinians got elected, I thought this was the UK? The abuse Phillips got was phenomenal, I'm no fan of hers but the abuse was horrendous. I expect Starmer to try and appease the Muslim voters by bringing their leader, Shamima Begum, back to the UK."

"What are a ""fair share of taxes"" and, relatedly, how much is ""enough money"" for any single person? I suspect that the answer will come from someone who feels that they, personally, pay too much tax compared to many, and never have enough money."

"No thoughts/comments on how unfair the voting system is, comma? You'd normally be the first one to complain if a political party gets 15% of the vote and less than 1% of the seats."

"That seems to me, to be a massive defeat for the Tories, rather than a fantastic victory for Labour. It looks as if the electorate were voting the Tories out, rather than voting Labour in, with lots of tactical voting. Latest evidence shows that most of those illegal immigrants, who are escaping from France, are settling in Clacton. It certainly appears to have a very dense population nowadays."

"The NHS is seriously mismanaged and cannot deal with the influx of people entering this country. The Police again mismanaged. Instead of coming down hard on criminals, pro hamas supporters, transgender nonces, the rather police tweets rather then the streets, arrest people for having thoughts, carrying stickers."

I think it's probably true that some couldn't forgive them for 'partygate' not a deal breaker though.

"Where the Consocialists went wrong 1. Forcing Lockdown on us, then break their own rules. 2. Despite being given a majority not listening to the will of the british public, failing to act and implement any policies that benefitted us. 3. Went down the net zero/libertarian route"
