My view on FPTP is that it makes it much harder for parties without a national, broadly centrist, platform, to do well. We are seeing Reform get absolutely demolished by the Lib Dems in local by-elections. And while Lab got a large majority on 33% of the vote, Reform would not and may not even win.

The truth is someone is paying for our embarrassingly comfortable lives.

at that level, it's ok. But clearly the never ending price rises and huge accumulation of wealth for older people cause a massive generational imbalance.

However it is an economic problem as fewer people means economic growth will be harder.

Because most pieces of legislation are decided by the government in offices away from the chamber and generally nodded through, especially when there is any kind of working majority. So the parliamentary debate is rather superfluous.

strange. Saw it on a visit in Feb 2015. It was busy but not OG Black Friday sales busy.

I have a bad feeling that if / when this does come to pass here, it will be end up so convoluted and time consuming that a lot of people won't get the chance to use the option.

fair point

Sorry Jim, but the death of print has already happened. It's inevitable from this point. Doesn't mean legacy media can't adapt / survive / thrive. That's just business.

Very strange that this post has been at the top of my Discover feed for much of today.
