First past the post voting system.

You aren’t trolling mate. You’ve been told you’re trolling by those who use the term, to their own convenience, to ridicule anyone or anything they don’t agree with. It’s another example that of the cancel culture in action.

You can vote REFORM and still be Christian. Of course you can

With respect, I think the discussion between me and Benguin above ended on an agreement that there are different types of Christianity and the type that would plump for Reform would not necessarily be the "true" one. But I'm no theologian.

Labour are going to be burnt toast soon enough.

Already unpopular in both leadership rating and the popular vote where 67% voted for other parties raising taxes and going loopy on identity politics will soon see large swings against them in by-elections. When they only managed a 33% vote share small swings will loose Labour hundreds of seats at a future GE. The next 2 elections have the potential for anything goes unless Labour effect constitutional change that will lock themselves into power.

I'm not a Labour supporter but I really hope they do. I think we all need to give them a chance.

 

I think it was the Bild newspaper who said "The Brits have chosen dull competence to replace post brexit chaos" and I'm more than O.K. with that.

Starmer should look to model himself on Attlee. If he even turns out to be half an Attlee, then he will have succeeded.

I don't think even the most ardent admirer of Starmer would support Labour making changes to the constitution to ensure they could not lose power?!

Ah, I may have misread the constitutional bit

Too late.  You have revealed your true self to the forum at last, a hard-left Marxist.

 

Perhaps we could meet sometime for a pint, a cheese and onion cob and a discussion about the best way to bring  about the end of the capitalist paradigm in the West?

Oh wait, I laughed because I thought you were joking…but you aren’t, are you. 
 

Oh dear.

Theres no reason whatsoever why a ‘true’ Christian couldn’t (or shouldn’t) vote Reform. It’s such a tenuous argument/link that it holds no value really.

But my point was more about the accusation of ‘trolling’ as used on here. It’s just a chuck away statement used to belittle (yet again) another’s point of view. It’s a modern(ish) term that again has been taken and run to mean something else.

Boo hoo tories lost, let’s rip up the entire system so my point of view is accounted for in government, it wasn’t an issue until yesterday for some reason, but let’s change it now.
