Danwichmann Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Both Sky and C4 seem to have given up on showing any results coming in now. I still want to see what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 For anyone who still thinks proportional representation is a good idea...... .....we could be welcoming a Conservative/Reform coalition to power this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is what the people want that is what they should have. That would be democracy. You might find though that Labour would have been forced to run a campaign that genuinely excited people rather than just a small target ‘don’t scare the horses’ campaign that wins you a huge majority under FPTP.

DaoDeMings Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 And Waveney Valley too. That’ll be four MPs for them, a great result exceeding the exit poll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there could have been an even higher Reform vote if people thought they had a realistic chance of power under PR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my calculations a reform tory coalition on these figures would come to less that 40%. About 37 to 38%. Labour/Lib dem/ Green comes in over 50%. So yes, PR please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
