1. Had we had PR that wouldn't have helped. And it means you abused FPTP for nefarious reasons (with which I agree :wink: ) 2. I don't own the franchise. All I said was that I like it. You don't. And indeed, it is up to the people if they want to change it. I'll wager 'they' don't. Finally, if...

The data I showed are the data. If you draw a line to show a steady decline from 1924 t0 2004 only three years are below the line. That's because there is no steady decline. There was an abrupt fall in 2001 as I stated. Interpolation between points is not legitimate with such data. (I drew the...

I hadn't realized he's on the tory leadershit ballot.

Well, I can't argue with your selection of facts, but I don't accept the inference. I have always considered that the electorate elects governments it deserves. They only way to change the outcome is to assign all the seats in proportion to total votes cast, using a national list, with voters...

A lot of the membership is barking-mad pensioner right wing. Just as much of the labour membership is middle aged pen pushers with lower second class degrees from provincial 'universities', still in love with Corbyn. But.....they all have the right to select who they want as leader. They pay...

Is this because the party you voted for didn't win? I would not be giving myself a warm hug if the Farage business had retured 50 seats in proportion to their vote share nationally in the last GE. FPTP keeps the ****s out, by and large. Long may it continue.

In terms of % of those eligible to vote, maybe. But women didn't get the vote till 1918, and only women over the age of 30, with additional property caveats. Turnout of those eligible was flat till 2001, when the labour and tory candidates were both very poor (and the fringe parties were dull)...

Indeed. I'm thru with all this fetid Americanization.

I can't say f..... I can't say f....

Noah's ark, anyone, for the climate change deniers? I thought that God's Will was a good thing :shrug: Hang on....has Trump blamed Crooked Hilary yet?

Train, you say? ???

I love freed from desire, and have it on my iPOD. And I normally leave at 85 minutes. Where do I stand?

The problem with ten bob is he has no process. "f*** me, let's get the old blokes on to bolster the defence" is hardly a process. Unless his aim is to create the football equivalent of processed Kraft 'cheese-food'.

Perhaps I should give it a watch :thumbsup:

It is now clear. He was sacked.

There is a big difference between increasing the probability of something and guaranteeing it. Anyway, context, dear boy. I was constructing a perverse narrative that, when the caveats are washed away, reveals the only relevant issue - the rule breaking.

I've heard he likes a Garibaldi ???

I know what you mean but this is a 90 degree distraction from the core issue. (Local owners can be shit) The Citeh Owners have done massively well for the locals. (Liverpool had an unfair advantage when Littlewoods switched their investment to Anfield) Money doesn't guarantee success...

I may have to slap you hard in the face next time I see you ??? :lolol: One of my most favourite, most delicious things was (and still is a bit) pondering the mysterious world of the paranormal. One of my favourite writers is Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The idea of spaces between the spaces...

Is the right answer. We've seen it all We've beat the lot We're Brighton and Hove Albion And we're never gonna stop.
