Can’t believe Farage is still a thing. Are we all really this collectively stupid? :(
Oh yes.
Reform recently took over my local county council. Then they closed a community centre.
Response from the Facebook Crazies? “Why have Labour done this?” 🤡
Farage should never have been a thing. But the media can’t seem to leave tge prick alone
Also, if the system you use to make decisions is insanely unbalanced (FPTP), and you ask it insane questions (“should Nige be within shouting distance of any position of power?”) then the answers it gives aren’t really worth taking seriously.
As a non-Brit, I watch what’s happening like it’s a slow motion car wreck.
France has 2 round parliamentary elections.
-
First round: You vote for someone to represent your constituency. Only 2 candidates remain.
-
Second round: Two weeks later, it’s the second round. You vote for one of the 2 candidates that won the first round. The winner becomes an MP.
Throughout France, Marine Lepen candidates won 35% to 40% of the votes in the first round. They qualified for the second round. Luckily, in the second round, citizens rallied against Lepen candidates, voting for whoever was their opponent.
What will happen if Nigel Farage gets 35% or 40% 😲? You don’t have a second round…
If France used the FPTP voting system, Marine Lepen would be ruling the country with a huge majority in Parliament.
That’s cool. They tricked a transferable voting system into thinking it was fptp. But we can’t just copy the French, this is England. The racists would never accept it.
