Reform 4th biggest party surpassing the SNP. Terrible news for the long term prospects of the country.
Although in the medium term, this labour majority will be a breath of fresh air.
A party that wants to leave the UK losing seats is bad for the long-term prospects of the country? 🤔
A party like Reform getting even a single seat is bad for the long-term prospects of this country.
Well obviously Lemmy would say this, but a single seat is meaningless. Even 13 (if true) means they don’t exactly have a huge amount of power.
its not about 13 seats. They got more than half the vote share the conservatives had. If the conservatives wanna win that voteshare back, they are gonna need to move even further right, which is worrying.
Holy FPTP, that represenation is fucked. How hoes 33% of the popular vote translate to 60% of parliamentary seats?
Y’all need electoral reform.
I"m sure the irony is intend on an election on the same day as the US celebration of Independence. =) I watched the John Oliver episode about this election though, and congrats on what looks like Labor being the big winner over the Conservative party.
