The most successful Party in the Western World is the Swiss Radical Party, in power since 1848. Under the Swiss Referendum System, introduced in 1874, they lost a referendum in 1918, which forced the introduction of electoral reform. Their response has been to increase their coalition gradually to more and more parties. The Canadian Federal Liberal Party has dominated Canadian politics since 1867, being in power the vast majority of the time, including for some continuous stretches of over 25 years. The Tories don´t even come close.

Graphic in the Polling Report that everybody gets so excited about, shows that 40% of the vote for Labour = 418 seats ,where as 20% for the Tories = 114 seats, 33% of the vote for SNP = 23 seats whilst 11% of the vote for the LD = 63 seats, yet 16% of the vote for Reform = 6 seats !! And somehow Electoral Reform isn't on the agenda of any of either Labour or the Tories. Another MInority government with over ⅔ of the seats in Parliament, but less than 50% of the votes cast. Our "democracy" is totally screwed up.

@bardsamok9221 11 дней назад

You're getting confused with a 2 party system. System with 5+ parties will frequently be under 50% for winner. Basic maths. To become an MP you need the most votes for the constituency. Not just some low amount of votes that go into a bonus pot for bargaining with later. You need to have the most to get elected as an MP. Simple. Perhaps Nigel should have more popular policies if he wants more seats.

@bardsamok9221 11 дней назад

Also your comment shows you don't understand UK electoral system because it doesn't work on overall percentages. Google is useful for basic research. Look up how MPs are elected, so people vote for their chosen MP (rightly so), and research the concept of 'seats'. Then you'll start to understand. Percentages have nothing to do with it, rightly so.

If a case was made to the European Court of Human Rights (so beloved of Labour) on behalf of the millions of people who are denied their democratic right to be represented in Parliament, surely they would have to agree to the case. Because every single member of the European Union and members of ECHR MUST practice a democratic system of election and all European countries have Proportional Representation.

@beverleymacca4737 11 дней назад

We had a referendum in 2011 on an alternative to first past the post. Nick Clegg got the tories to agree to it when they were forming the coalition government. So if we ever get a situation like that again (ie. a minor party has to prop up a major one) we might have a chance. But the fact the country voted to retain first past the post means governments can say that issue was resolved.

@chrisreynolds3351 11 дней назад

@@beverleymacca4737 Thank you, Beverley. There is a common misconception (or a more cynical misrepresentation) that the UK has already held a referendum to implement proportional representation (PR). Advocates of the First Past the Post argue that there is little desire to change the current voting system to proportional representation due to the failed referendum in 2011. However, the 2011 referendum was to change the voting system to the Alternative Vote (AV), not proportional representation. And the number of votes represented only a small percentage of the population.

Probably the main thing I hope Starmer does is finally bring the reform to the voting system that's utterly unfit for purpose and should have been modernized decades ago. FPTP is a system that almost every other European country has long ago abandoned. Labour need to make sure that a destructive, incompetent government like this one can never be in power again. The country is in an utter shambles and a decent, fair voting system would have brought the Tories out of government years ago

Obviously I couldn’t have known this in 2019, but given his subsequent comments, I am so glad he was not Prime Minister during Russias 2022 invasion, as he had been very vocal that we should let Russia invade Ukraine if they want to.

Got to dispute Hannah Barnes saying this is a really extraordinary achievement for Kier Starmer. It's easy to run up the score in FPTP when the opposition is this fragmented. Starmer is headed for more than Blair seats on solidly five percent less than Blair vote share, even a couple of points behind Corbyn 2017 vote share. If Labour's coordination with the LibDems yields a significant gain in tactical voting, then, yes, that deserves some credit, but the proof in the pudding will be how much they're able to squeeze the combined Tory-Reform vote.

Reform want a means tested pension system as Australia has, they want more private health insurance, more tax cuts for the already wealthy, more misery for the sick, disabled and unemployed, these miseries can happen to you or one of your family.😢

@csul8087 11 дней назад

@jillkemp5521 Labour will make people pay more in taxes so you will pay more for NHS anyway. I do agree the pension system needs change bit we need to educate the youth at school about finances . Remember Starmer hates the Unions ( the working man) as he has proved in the past he is just a conservative with a red tie.

Reform may not get into power this time round but after 5 years of labour the next election will almost certainly see Reform become huge. Brace yourselves for five years of misery, poverty and ridiculous numbers of immigrants under labour. Reform Uk are our only hope of breaking the cycle of destroying Britain ! Reform Uk 2029 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@chrisreynolds3351 11 дней назад

Hi Biscuit, my beef is the lack of true democracy. Pls read on. Do you think either the Labs or Cons would agree to a change of electoral system to P.P? Like every single European country has. Would they hell ! Both parties feel entitled to rule forever and see Westminster as their own private members club. Allowing us a General Election is just to fool the gullible public into thinking we have a democratic choice! So, e.g. Reform get multi-millions of votes but perhaps only 2 or 3 seats. They have no real representation for millions of people. There may be 2 parties but, in reality, the public have no more democracy than the Russian voters have.

@@kanedNunable I completely agree - I would go even younger than that. I would also wish that those beyond the age of retirement could not stand for a political leadership role. Having said that, there are some radical young politicians (such as in France) that I also wish couldn't stand.
