General Election - 4th July 2024

I’m glad they didn’t get 13 seats, but for reform to get around 15% of the vote is quite worrying. Millions of people are now voting for them.

I know it’s our electoral system but the Lib Dem’s getting 50+ seats, but only being around 10% doesn’t seem right either

Lib Dems are about right though aren't they - 10% of seats overall.

Reform UK 4,051,969 Total Votes 4 MPs up to yet

Liberal Democrat’s 3,451,969 Total Votes and 70 MPs

Is this democracy?

It doesn’t really seem like there’s any enthusiasm for labour. Their vote share hasn’t changed that much from 2019 and it’s a pretty low vote share as well.

It seems like there in because the Tory vote collapsed.

Yes it is as the lib dems targeted seats and were efficient in their campaigning.

Yes it is as the lib dems targeted seats and were efficient in their campaigning.

But surely it’s not a fair representation of the public vote?

 

[I'm not really here]

That's a weird looking bloke

I agree, the lib dem looks about odd as well.

Just got up and checked the results.

Four decrepit seaside town full of homeless tramps for Reform, lol.

Exit poll was a bit out but some of those seats were very tight.

“Homeless tramps”. What a lovely person you are

I supposse our archiac parliamentry rules could stiffle the **** a little.

As an MP he has to adhere to certain level of behaviour in the chamber, he won't get away with the bullshit he would pull as an MEP

Exactly as I was thinking, he'll be largely ridiculed across the house, especially now we have some actual politicians sitting.
He's a bully, with nothing to back it up with.
Having been finally elected after many tries, ironically he won't know what to do when it comes to proper debate.
He will become the child at the back of the class constantly putting his hand up, but being ignored.
If anything, I'm looking forward to the entertainment he will inevitably provide

This couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of cunts.

Labour win because of a backlash by Conservative voters.

Labour will be in power with the lowest percentage of the popular vote ever by a single majority party.

Only one election since 1885 (2001) has had a lower turnout.

Labour in by default.

So are we saying the "Reform" vote is similar to when the newly formed SDP took a number of Labour votes?
