General Election 2015 (Discussion Thread)

[ag.]

thats actually a good idea 

[dub]

A good idea would be a better voting system.

I reckon we'll see another attempt at a reform in the next 10 years.

[Gambino]

Needs changing now. Needs to be done on percentages full stop, not which party can get which area on lock.

[dub]

You think that would make sense?

Your MP represents your area in parliament. They're supposed to serve in the area's best interest (whether they do or not is another question). How would it work, sticking an MP that barely any one voted for to represent?

[Gambino]

I don't know what exactly will work but I definitely don't like the current system. As you said yourself about wanting to vote Greens and knowing it won't count. That's the same with me right now, I'll vote UKIP but I know it will be for nothing because Labour have my area on lock. So I got zero contribution to the outcome.

this explains quite a bit, that's pain

[dub]

That's not me lol. I'm voting Greens because I know it won't count. If my vote mattered it would be going to Labour.

Another UKIP candidate suspended for racism then.

Scum party.

Some low level random guy but you lot vote for labour or cons who top level guys that are peados

[dub]

which ones are?

[Gambino]

People like him are living pricks and damaging the party. At least he has been suspended though, if he was in Labour he might of got away with that.

[dub]

What's your opinion on John Leathley?

[Gambino]

Never heard of him. Just googled him now though, sounds like a bit of a nob. I'm guessing you don't mind what he said?

[dub]

I mean its bad. Not something a politician should be saying.

But its not far from the sort of things my 'lad'-ish friends would say. "Banter" is what it would be dismissed as.

I wouldn't say he's a bad person for saying such things but you can't really have that sh*t if you're representing.

[Gambino]

It's probably not at the top end of a controversial scale but I'd probably give him the sack for it. If anything just for being so fucking retarded to be up on websites talking such shit.

General Election 2015: Sixty per cent of people want voting reform, says survey

[Gambino]

That's the pisstake. UKIP averaging 13% and might only get 1 or 2 seats. SNP 4% and can win 46 seats.

[Afroman]

Lol @ calling that banter. The shooting comment maybe. But, he then went to drop the heritage comment, Which is a typical mindset that is shared amongst the majority of the party.

The suspension is nothing to give kudos for either. It's election day in 24 hours

[dub]

Bah. I didn't even read it all. Only saw the "needs a good shag" and "She would love a big black thing up her a***" comments.

He's not talking about the guy who made the shooting comment.
