That has nothing to do with anything which is happening now and you know it.
Why keep banging this drum?
It is only my innate dignity that prevents a salty tears "you lost, we won, get over it" response.
It's all very believable... like if Jay from the Inbetweeners took an interest in right wing politics.
He's practising for the inevitable incoming VAT-exempt status of lambeg drums.
Jay was too busy toe shagging some birds from camabersands in his caravan

Given the proliferation of political posts you make here you obviously have a real interest in politics, so I assume you must have met your own MP? Who is it, don't they put themselves about in your area and socialise with their public?
It could be real, but then there could be a major case of selective bias here.
As an example most Canadians I've spoken to are pretty incredulous that we have decided to leave. Except one, an old, rather large, guy that started his conversation with. "That Brexit eh, good for you guys. That'll help stop those immigrants, not the ******* (black people), the other ones." At which point that was the end of the conversation except for a few non committal noises from me...
A grumpy old guy in the corner starting a conversation a bit like that (or in the standard CW posting style) is going to only attract people with certain viewpoints, and every country has those that are unhappy with something.
The same with anyone else - selective bias from your peer group, hence the reason aenecdotal evidence is so unreliable.
With 12.5 million votes? Not far off that of Blairs win in 97.
Firstly, there is not, and never was, a 'Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.'
Secondly, Coudenhove-Kalergi's theory was a pan-European concept intended to unite Europe and make her stronger. It gained traction with virtually no-one, and had absolutely nothing to do with Muslims.
Thirdly, this statement by Coudenhove-Kalergi...
...was a prediction about human evolution, and had no connection whatsoever to his pan-European concept. Racists like to pretend that it describes Coudenhove-Kalergi's ultimate goal, which is completely untrue.

Is there an alternative system to seats in parliment? God knows if it would end in anarchy but should there not be parties of qualfied people in their sectors ready to take the reigns when a party wins, and shouldn't that be solely on number of votes rather than seats.
What seems to be the case is that if you becomes an MP you are assigned a job, but how are any of these people any more qualified to do that job than me.
For examples Theresa May was foreign secretry, she was given this post why. She has a degree in geography and wanted to be an MP, that is a bit of a vague connection to make her qualified to do the job.
Let's say I decide to become an MP to my area and win, can I apply for any position in the government without prior expertise in the matter?
Baffles me.

Scorza - miss-quoting people since 2004, no seats, not resigned
Fun fact- Corbyn lost the popular vote by about the same percentage as Trump did.
Therefore overall, the electorate in this country wants Corbyn as PM , just as much as the US electorate wants Trump as president.
Funny old world ay Scorza.
And we've voted for successive governments, with a veto in their back pocket, who've allowed the scope of the common market to grow to what it is today..

I agree completely, but that's why we must selectively allow migration of people that pay their way. We look after our own first and foremost, and our ability to do that is diminished by admitting drains to the public purse from either Tunney's low earning EUA8 States or Vita's pauper states constantly exporting nothing but benefit hungry baby machines.
Obviously there are exceptions, but that is why we must be selective.
EDIT:
Great, the idiot is back with Type 2 fatty diabetes to blame for her godawful performance? Not sure how type 2 Diabetes makes you a blithering racist idiot.
All of the responses to this have not made any sense.
This drum does need to be banged because people do seem to have forgotten Corbyn lost by 55 seats. An election is a one off measurement of opinion, there are no prizes for 'most improved'.
So if Mrs May got even more votes than that, she must have a huge mandate?
Mental gymnastics and completely irrelevant as the US system is completely different.
How can Labour supporters say May is 'clutching at power', when Corbyn is claiming he can be PM with a mandate that (despite the hysteria), is nothing close to what TM has. I repeat, the results of a GE are absolute, not about momentum or most gained or lost.
Yes Scorza posts some waffle, but the rest of you in ivory towers claiming everyone else are trolls, are equally capable of some very narrow and blinkered views
