He's not away with the fairies, he's old that's all. If the donors are drying up then that might change things.

The first reason is principle. In the power dynamic, the people should have primacy, then the government. Governments work for the people, demanding people carry ID flips this dynamic. Secondly, it gives the police too many powers. It gives them a simple reason to stop and arrest someone. It's a plantation type law, which again fundamentally changes the dynamic between the people and the state. I agree about the conspiracy theorists, fuck em but they can make a load of noise.

Aren't our constituencies roughly the same population size?

On you first point, they put candidates up everywhere to give every green a box to tick in the election, collect as many votes as possible, so they can build a better case for PR. I'm pretty sure that they then just concentrate their election efforts in the winnable seats.

The thing about this election, people wanted the Tories out up and down the country because of all the shit they've dished up, also people weren't really excited by Labours limited offer. And the results of the FPTP system really reflected this perfectly, Tories booted out and a low Labour vote share, both should take the messages the electorate have given them.

Bang on cue LBC are talking about PR this morning.

Yes and most of Europe abides by that, hence why it's not just the UK that is an "easy touch". However, collectively we do need to find a new way of dealing with the migrants situation because the current system is causing too many issues.

FFS they don't even bother to pretend that they are just biased reporters anymore, they now acknowledge that they are actual combative actors in the political process.

A couple of points, good luck getting Brits to have an ID card. I know I would be reluctant to have to carry ID, also the rise in conspiracies around lockdowns, LTN, the great reset etc will make the task even harder. Migrants know when they enter Europe it's harder to deport them back to their CoO, not just the UK.

I don't disagree. He likes single issues and this will be his, as he sees it as an important part of his road map.

When does the Tory Royal Rumble start?

Old Nige will be banging the PR drum for all it's worth and that FPTP is a system that protects the Westminster elite, against the will of ordinary people blah blah blah

Hurt my voice cheering Truss's loss. Six on my top ten hit list have gone, happy days.

My BiL couldn't vote this morning, he was refused at the polling station, because he didn't have photo id, he's says he's never voting again. That's good because he's a Reform supporter.

My Brexit voting mate texted this morning moaning that higher taxes and more immigrants are coming and that he wants to move to Spain. FFS.

Obsessed. Three different threads, three SOG name checks. Do you have Wile E Coyote and Road Runner style dreams about him when your dribbling on your armchair, having an little afternoon nap. Beep beep.

It's the first step in the Boris come back, just like how Rhea pieced together a torn apart Dionysus, Boris will be the god that breathes new life into the battered blue beast.
