That doesn’t make any sense at all. Is a sub-constituency going to send an MP? If so then it’s a constituency, but if the votes are an aggregation just to benefit a political party then it destroys the idea of an MP and constituencies.

It you think democracy is about fairness in results then you don’t understand what democracy is. An election is not an opinion poll, it’s a decision.

I guess blocking is as good a comment on the argument as any other.

And then taking another bite and blocking again.
Marvellous.

@simon_lucy @theinspectorst @i_am_not_a_robot @Syldon @jonne I don’t know if you are doing this deliberately. Of course it would be a multi-member constituency, but a sub-constituency would allow people to still have a constituency MP.

Oh and yes, I know what democracy is, and it seems you are against it. Now please go away.

Create post

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
