OwlFancier posted:I mean that, arguably, is the point? They have 41% of the vote which is not an absolute majority, a representative electoral system should give them a large minority. If anything, producing majorities with minorities of the vote share is one of the things people complain about FPTP doing too much. Sorry, I forgot to specify Labour. An 11% lead for the Tories would give them an overwhelming landslide, which is my point - albeit poorly made.

Diet Crack posted:With a bit of luck she'll heat her home by burning it down, preferably while still inside. Like no one, and I mean no one, opens presents in a way where you can re-use the loving wrapping you poncey oval office. This patronising Tory cow has never known a day's hardship and is displaying as much by telling people to spend more on electric ironing their paper than it would cost to buy new, but that doesn't mean that nobody has. When we were really poor we used to save the Christmas wrapping paper. I'm pretty sure my mum asked the family to wrap my presents in a way that I could easily open them without tearing it, as well. Now, as we've reached the "let them eat cake" part of the cycle, how long is it going to be before the "popular uprising and massacre of all the rich cunts" part?

Worth noting that those figures add up to 64%, meaning the most popular option was "Don't know" or "None of the cunts".

Runcible Cat posted:Yeah, I think the error here is assuming that any politician who's run down their country to the point of it needing foodbanks is capable of feeling shame. To be fair, it's possible for economic poo poo to happen that is beyond the control of politicians to prevent. This doesn't apply to the Tories, though; they have actively and intentionally caused the circumstances leading to the need for food banks.

Much as this thread likes to meme about Buck House hit squads, while Brenda probably shed no tears over Diana's death she was less of a contributing factor to it than Babylon 5. It was the paparazzi who hounded Diana and Dodi Fayed into that tunnel, and they did that because they knew the scummy rags would pay for the pictures. Of course Harry knows how awful the press are.
