🤪 2019 General Election Discussion :gov:

Don’t vote for the party. At all. Anywhere :smiley:

But what if you want to vote for the party e.g. Conservative but not the person e.g. Boris Johnson :man_shrugging:

So in effect the party list is unelected

So we could have an unelected cabinet

Isn’t that undemocratic?

Like the EU?

You’ve got to weigh up the problems this solves with the problems it creates.

There is a huge democratic deficit under FPTP. This solves that. Even your big worry, that you can’t unseat a specific MP, is indirectly soluble.

If an MP on a list is attracting toxicity, the party machinery will fuck them off.

More Brexit party fallout…

Labour has been a victim of a Denial of Service attack.

Not thought to have been caused by a nation state.

Maybe Johnson was doing more than spaffing it in Arcuri’s front room after all.

True story…

Swinson obviously couldn’t really give a fuck about stopping a Tory brexit then. What a surprise. She’ll be sucking on that Eton mess before you know it.

it’s ok guys. He made a mistake*

  • made fake invoices.

Easy mistake to make.

Apropos of nothing in particular, Twitter now has a ā€œmisleading about votingā€ option on its ā€œReport Tweetā€ facility.

I will probably wear it out before December 12th.

That might explain this then.

And the latest Survation poll cuts the tories lead down to 6 points.
All very 2017 but with a bit longer to play.

I think Javid might be concerned that some of this might come up…

Twitter will soon get fed up with this as every tweet, fake or not, will get targeted

I also suspect it has been put there to appease US lawmakers and in reality the square root of fuck all will happen to those tweets that are reported
