Riots In London

[truescot 234]

The only winners is the politicians

 

Another 56 from Scotland who like there English politicians will be claiming second mortgages. £500 a month for food.and all the other petty claims we read about.

 

Can bet you a pound to a pail of shite the first order of business will be making sure they have claim forms c**ts!

lol thing that makes me laugh with the leftie students is how much they go on about the same people whod just rob em in london. Ive lived in london and i just aint got it in me but right or wrong if a bloke walked through my old estate with dyed hair skinny jeans and a posh accent hed of been robbed.

Long may it last torys aren't wanted by most in this country apart from south England

The election results would show different

 

Beg to differ, Seeker.

Conservatives only achieved 36% of the vote BUT just 66% of the electorate actually voted. So, the Tories were voted in by a little over a third of two-thirds of the voters..........hardly a ringing endorsement !

Only 66% could be bothered to vote. The Cons got 36% of the votes cast and counted so they got over 50% of the votes pretty comprehensive id say or is my maths wrong ?

But surely you can't count the 36% that never voted as opposition .. If the percentages carried over then a little over two thirds would have voted conservative ...

Just give the new govt a bit of time to get warmed up, now they are freed from the liberal democrats. The work shy lay abouts putting windows through with face masks on and painting on war memorials are going to be in for a shock, they know it, we know it and in the words of lance corporal Jones "they don't like it up em"

Yes your maths is wrong. They received 36% of the vote - that's 36%, just over a third in old money. So that means that 2/3 of votes cast were not for the Tories. 4 million UKIP votes = 1 seat. 1 million Green votes = 1 seat. 1.5 million SNP votes = 56 seats. How does that represent 'the will of the people' ?

 

He can any government claim to "govern for one nation" when it was only supported by a third of votes cast, and another third of the electorate didn't bother to express an opinion ?

I think I'm right in saying that no government has ever secured more than 50% of the vote.

You can't count the votes of the ones who DIDNT vote. They had they right they chose not to exercise that right, they have no reason to complain what ever govt they get. simple. Therefore of the people who voted the country got what it elected.

Of the votes cast and counted, the Tories received 36% - a little over a third. Therefore, 64% of people who voted DIDN'T vote Conservative, yet we have a Conservative government. In a (supposedly) free democracy, how does this demonstrate either rfreedom or proper democratic mandate?
