Donald Trump

[SWP's back]

There will be one or two that were behind on first count to someone below the quota that they overtook on 2rd or 3rd preference votes. Not many though.

Don't think you understand the way we vote in the UK you potato munching peasant.

It's first past the post here. If Candidate A gets 12.002 votes, Candidate B gets 12,001 and Candidate C gets 12,000, Candidate A wins it.

I thought you had vote transfer as well, apologies.

Hmm, like a reverse Superman The Movie (1978).

:) it's only a slightly sillier idea than suggesting that the votes from a state with a higher population than the 21 least populated states combined is somehow unfairly influencing the election.

It's a pointless discussion.

Everyone knows that the election is decided by the Electoral College Vote and not the Popular Vote.

Both candidates knew this going in to the election and had time to strategically campaign in the key swing states.

Trump won Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Wisconsin and he did it because he campaigned well.

If you don't understand why the election is decided on the Electoral College Vote I would really recommend just Googleing it as you will get some very useful information.

Trump won Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Wisconsin and he did it because he lied about what he would do when he took Office.

If you took out all the states in the middle Clinton would have walked it.

If they only let people in the states of New York and California vote then Clinton would've walked it even more.

Tbf Texas and Florida should be included, then you have the 4 states that actually fund the country and over 40% of the population. Clinton would still win.

He hasn't even taken office yet so that's quite a brazen thing to say.

You might be sad that he's been elected, you and 90% of this forum, but the fact is he has been elected.

I embarrassingly and regrettably voted for Labour in the last election but when the Conservatives won I didn't waste my time acting like a petulant brat and calling every Tory a classist deluded toff, I just accepted that we live in a democracy and believe it or not sometimes people will have a different view to me on how the country should be ran.

Most on here did.
