Lol!
You lot can’t help yourselves can you?

Predicting results for a general election is much harder than for a European Parliament one, in light of the first past the post vs proportional system.

BTW, I find the British system much more undemocratic than many European systems : the PMs have too much power, they can change if a new party leader is chosen (not by the electorate!) and FPTP distorts results too much. Not long ago the SNP won something like 90% of the Scottish seats with 55% of the votes. Fair and democratic? Methinks not.

Anyone else watching Andrew Marr interviewing Nigel Farage. He's showing him clips of all the stuff he's said in the past. Interesting...

ComRes predicted that with 1/5 of the votes, Brexit party would get 1/12 of the seats. The poll has already taken account of our disproportional FPTP voting system.

Oh and btw, Labour would romp home with the vast majority of the seats and will probably be in power if it partners with either LibDem + SNP + maybe NI, or alternatively with the Brexit party.

Ok so polling in the Sunday papers look horrendous for Remain! Why the heck can't we get our !!!! together? It's so frustrating!

We're still trying to apply logic to an emotive post-factual argument.

Remainer interviewer employed by remainer organization attempts to discredit Brexit supporter.

Marr to Farage:
"You said you admired Putin"
Farage: "I said I admired the way he operated, and that I didn't admire him as a human being".

Marr had a stupid 'I've been caught out' grin on his face for quite some seconds.
