The UK election explained 

this 3 minute video can teach me about my country's politics but school can't be bothered to?

Bring back the The Official Monster Raving Loony Party

I love such animated Videos. It really makes you understand clearly...keep bringing such videos in the future!

And I thought Congress was complicated. Thank you for explaining!

My parents never brainwashed me to HATE CONS and LOVE LABOUR. It is me who has been seeing many drastic changes throughout my life and when compare, it gives me satisfaction to live under Labour Umbrella than to live under technical oppressions of blood-sucking Conservatives. In the past I voted Cons, but learnt my lessons, as none of the pledges they could fulfill, in contrary, they did exactly opposite what they promised to do.

June marks the end of May.

How did that Tory landslide go Theresa? Looool

June marks the end of May!

June marks the end of May

1st past the post - this Is a system that needs reform. Does not matter how fast they get the votes, matter about the quantity, otherwise we end up with MP's that don't represent the vast majority of voters.

This doesnt look like a democracy

Guys. In Maidenhead, a constituency, a guy dressed as elmo got 3 votes. Elmo got some love bois

I'm going to vote Labour as I'm a working class guy and agree with there policy's to a point. Also my old man use to vote Labour, so it's kind of a tradition in my family. The only time I voted for Conservatives was once previously and that was because Labour messed up big time under the so called leadership of Tony Blair who lied to the British public about the Iraq war and the immigration issue to. I believe he is responsible for the current sad state of affairs in the world and especially the UK. Only recently he won £697 k as prize money for the noble prize peace award, which is F.....g unbelievable. In my opinion he is a war criminal and should be locked away for killing millions of innocent women and children. He is the biggest tyrant going, he is making more money now then being prime minister, as he is funded by the Zionists who want to take control of the world. Also he is the ambassador to Israel which proves my point, he is one evil guy and has got away with everything from deception/lies to mass murder. However I have met Mr.Corby and I have full faith in him and the party this time around, he seems like a nice chap, only time will tell whoever wins. Good luck with voting.

Are each region’s number of representatives in the House of Common base on the size of each region or every region just gets an equal number of representatives in the House of Common?

Let's end May in June, lads.

Nicely explained.

#UKIP2017

So just how powerful are the British citizen votes?

So how did that analysis work out?

So in the final analysis the "House of Lords" rules & the people comply 😎

Well that's a different outlook today after the results have been released 😜

BREXIT!

This is confusing af after the 650 constituents is it like americas house of reps and their reps seat for states then they get smaller in number on vote choice in rounds?

Current uk prime ministers are about as able to hold down the job as Chelsea's managers are.

My Italian pupils who are learning English found this great

Day 4 and still no government 🙂

"an independent Scotland joining the EU"... how stupid getting independence from the UK just to join the EU. "Yay we have less say than before! "

So all that matters in this video is the first half minute. Each of the 650 constituencies elect an MP. Having half or more of Parliament guarantees a PM win. Now, because each MP needs only half (plus one) votes to win their constituency, a PM technically needs 25% of the total vote to win.

I still don’t get it

Strong and Stable.

Really don't understand Labour Can someone enlighten me!

yes, please

Similar to the Canadian system?

In America there's been a good turn out among family pets and the dearly departed

No wonder

2:31 this video didn't age well...

Misrepresented the Labour position on Brexit.

I still don't get it. 😆

Dear uk Government, can we please build rehabs for the less fortunate in London please! Can we build a building where people can stay for as long as they can get of a drug that there addicted too! Class a, b, and c drugs please! Can there be professional therapy classes to help you get of the drug your hook on please!! This is needed asap!!

Come on Jezza 🌹🌹

May incompetence and cuts kill.

Who was it, calling for public vote on brexit? She didn't learn from that it seems. In a few months i will perhaps ask: "Who was it, initiating that election where labour nearly one last time?

AND THE POLLS WERE WRONG

You need to understand how the numbers shape the world.

Britain has an archaic voting system in which you have to vote against your own interests so you can vote against the interests of others. That's not democracy. That's Hobson's choice.

He sounds like David walliams

lets get ready to rumble, in the right corner we have a poisonous witch... ITS THERESA MAY!!!!! and in the left corner we have a shaved badger in a suit... ITS JEREMY CORBYN!!!

So let's sum up the Election in a nutshell. So the Conservatives won...but lost ...Labour lost ....but won....the SNP won and lost in Scotland but still won and the conservatives won in Scotland but lost.. . The government was Tory but now can't be even tho it is still and they need to make some Irish chaps Tory so they can be in charge even tho they were and still are... UKIP lost but because of Brexit they already won ...The independents won but didn't win because they don't have a party, so they lost but are now MP's so they won ... The winner ( May ) is being told to resign because she didn't win and she won't because she won even tho she lost... Easy :D

Can anyone answer this question?. Will spending more on (investing for) the many, nationalising and increasing tax on the rich reduce our deficit, or does austerity, privatisation and encouraged capitalism reduce our deficit? Excluding moral righteousness (that's extremely important too but..) which tactic benefits our countries balance book more?

Undecided 🤷‍♂️

the voting system I think is messed up. instead of voting for who you want to win, your vote can be influenced by the area you live in. if you vote labour yet there are two other parties that have more support your vote has no influence on the end result whatsoever and you could feel like your opinion isn't heard. Why don't they just use the exact percentages in votes as it shows a more accurate view of what the country wants. If this system was implemented the American election would have gone completely the other way with Hillary Clinton getting a larger amount of votes but ultimately being defeated. this could all surely mean that instead of taking one seat per area based off of what party gets the most votes ( bearing in mind it might not be a majority) it would be wiser to take the individual votes leading to a more accurate outcome.

2:27 "this time some election analysts predict the Conservatives could win a similar landslide" When are we going to accept that these people who think they can predict elections know literally nothing?

Do people even remember what happened last time labour were in power??? The note?? Seriously I will never understand how people can put their trust in a failing party

I really like may I think she's a nice lady I think she will do Britain proud

A direct voting system would be much better

Vote conservative!

BOYCOTT the vote

First past the post is a broken system of voting and I dislike it

Why don't ye take Ireland's proportional representation system.

i like corbyn but not my local labour MP...the system is flawed big time

Mrs Mays plans for brexit? what plans? she hasn't got any

She looks soo much better as a cartoon. This June will end may.

Can anyone give feedback on the following : If you want a communist anti democratic society vote Labour or Lib If you do not want that but you do not want Tory then vote Brexit Party If you are conservative Brexiteer and feel betrayed vote Brexit Party. If you are a Remainer Tory that get more out of EU than Democracy or an independent Britain then voting Labour/Lib is a better option to secure what you want. If you are a Remainer Conservative that is patriotic democratic and party proud voting Conservative won't save you against the Labour/Lib threat. But votind Brexit Party will give Conservatives time to regroup over 5 years and get connected to their non feudal membership. Feedback on this please

Let me try and wake you up to the truth about elections , if that of course is possible. I have only voted once in my life for a political party twice more , one not to join the Common market, and two the leave the EU. The once I voted for a political party was way back in the 70s when I was a young lad, because I didn't know much about what was going on in the world, I followed my elders and voted Labour, because I came from a working-class family and all the adults voted Labour, because the Labour Party was for the working British people. which is a laugh today isn't it. Labour, for the British working people, what was it,? If Labour gets into power, the first thing Labour will do is to protect the EU citizens working and living in the UK, the second thing the Labour Party will do, is to protect the right of businesses to get there skilled cheap labour from abroad so they don't have to invest in British workers. Labour Party for the many immigrants not the few British. I will pass on to you what I learnt them many years ago, and see if I can drag you out of that brainwashed state you are in and drag you into the world of reality. Have you ever thought why it does matter who gets into power they are not capable of solving one single problem and societies just gets worse and worse. this is why. You have multiple of political parties all claiming that it is their policies that will give you and your children a future, so vote for them.. Now to be different from one another and to give society a different outlook, then your policies must be based on a different system from your rivals, if it is not then you're going in the same direction. Are you with me? Every political party today based their policies on the same system, they call it economic growth, other words meaning to endlessly multiply, to endlessly expand until you have destroyed everything and hope the world doesn't collapse in your lifetime. . that's what they're talking about when they talk about economic growth, to self-destruct. through overpopulation. So how can the political parties that exist today claim they are different from one another, the only difference is the way they get to the same spot. I will put it as simple as possible. Let's say you have five political parties based in London, all their policies are based on going to Scotland, 1) Says vote for me, I am flying up to Scotland. 2) Says vote for me, I'm driving up to Scotland. 3) Says vote for me, I'm taking the train up to Scotland. 4) Says vote for me. I'm cycling up to Scotland. 5) Says vote for me, I'm sailing up the cost to Scotland. But it doesn't matter who you vote for you will end up in Scotland. The same place where every other political party is heading. That's why it does matter who you get into power they can't solve nothing, because there policies are based on the same system a system of endless growth on an island, the landmass you live on, the UK is just over 94,000 mi.², that indicates to me I do not live in an endless space , what does it indicate to you specially if you vote. So I understand you can't have endless growth without destroying your own environment. Another thing how can you have multiple political parties when realistically there is only two systems you can based your policies on. 1) An insane system where you think you can endlessly put something into something that is not endless. 2) Understanding that you do not live in an endless space ,so your policies are based on stabilisation so you don't just mindlessly multiply and destroy everything including yourself. So how can they be so many political parties when in reality there is only two systems you can base your policies on, one of self-destruction and the other is a policy that will give you a genuine future and your children. Have I woken you up or are you that brainwashed you will believe anything that these people tell you. as long as you do not have to change your selfish and greedy lives. to create a better society and world to live in for you and your children.

I like labour, but they should scrap the free school​ meals for all students. They should be for households with significantly lower incomes. Oh and sack abbot. She's so thick it hurts.

Well that went well for the Tories

Come on people you gotta vote jeremy man dont listen to all these rich media companies. May represents the 1% who own 99% of the money jeremy represents us, the 99% who have to share a tiny bit to make rent just get out and vote its a once in a lifetime opportunity. She wont turn up to legit bbc debates but she'll turn up to a sky (murdoch) one on channel 4 and go second. Dont let all the attacks make us think shes the only way out.

Let's just be honest here, people would never be happy no matter who was in office, I bet if a if it was a lib dem or labour in power people would be on the news complaining that there not "strict" enough or they don't have as much of a "charismatic" personality. I know you don't like Theresa but at least give her the common decency to her own opinion that you would any other human being, because that is what she is, a HUMAN BEING. Thank you

She's not a true conservative...

I take it I'm the only one here that wants May in?

the voting systems fucked

sorry if im missing something (im american) shouldnt there be like a guy who brags about sexual assualt, an 80 year old jew, and an out of touch sociopath lady.

is this video is biased on favor of theresa may? why they have to say she for grammar schools, whatever that means, they didn't do that for anyone else. and she show Corbyn w a pair of scissors cutting her bill.

I’m going to be Prime Minister at the age of 19 (HOPEFULLY)

Get the Tories out.

vote labour. get her out. public services should be priority and not the rich.

I'm in the USA, and I must admit even Theresa May sounds better over here than what we have for president!

if Labour wins Britain won't leave the EU

Vote Green!

Don't mind me I'm just a Liberal Democrat supporter passing by I don't want any trouble!

So... It's time to choose, which lesser evil do we want this time?

Labour for life!

When you are the only person in the comments section that thinks Jeremy is incapable of running a country

Thank you. An one of those nasty Americans I appreciate you explaining the process.

Lol....😂😂😂😂😂

I'm thinking future, if the Tories get in and continue what they are doing.... Well Sorry I see people on the streets, Rioting...

A Margaret Thatcher wannabe vs a Clement Attlee wannabe

Can't we just add up all the votes across the country instead of doing it regionally? Surely it would be much more fair.

Vote Labour!

Looollllll love how none of this happened and were all fucked

Vote labour. Because fighting terrorism with online censorship and surveillance of your own people is both inefficient and unethical.

UKIP
