StefanAVFC Posted July 5 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5 PR is just better tbh we have it over here, we’ve ended up with a coalition of centre right to left with the far right nowhere near government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Apparantly there's only room for just over 200 MPS on the Labour benches, so they'll flood the opposite side too, PMQs will be strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Just now, Jon said: You brought it up. Correct. There's nothing wrong with your memory. I did so in a post directly relevant to the current match results. Therefore relevant to this thread. If you want to talk about it in more general terms I have just posted something in the correct thread to bring it to the top of the topics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 How are people projecting FPTP results into a theoretical PR vote? It's not possible. It would be totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 7 minutes ago, paul514 said: by having a massive support My point was that the major parties are already coalitions under FPTP and they have internal party struggles between the extremes of their party. Sometimes an extreme wing of a party wins out and we get a Brexit type event. Under PR they would split up and be smaller more ‘pure’ versions of themselves, then form those coalitions after the election instead of before.

Correct. It's very odd for a FPTP advocate to come on here and claim there would be a tory / reform coalition government with under 40% of the vote under PR. When lab/lib/green comes in at way over 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Only 56% turn out which seems pretty low. Tory’s massively declined here from last election. Reform strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ml1dch Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 So I think the Tories now have to win every remaining seat to hit the revised exit poll that they were all congratulating each other about two hours ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
