I waited for RAC as a lone female for 4 hrs! Is this acceptable?

Doubt the OP will be back as she clearly played the feminist card and thought she would get a few people on her side

Alas she got short shrift because she failed to mention where she broke down and was clearly not organised enough to sort herself out with regards to a spare tyre or repair kit  

OP - You're telling me that in those four hours you spoke to /texted no-one using that magical telephone thingy and moaned to your friends /family that you had a puncture? and no-one came and kept you company whilst you were waiting for the breakdown truck?

If you think that is the 'feminist card', you do not know anything at all about feminists and should not comment in such an ignorant way.

She clearly played the feminist card by stating she was a lone female and clearly believed she should have priority 

If you want to think it was not feminist then it is you who is ignorant

I don't think we need another full blown WASPI discussion. I am sure everything has been said before. We even had the chance to vote on it at the last election. Can't believe how Labour misjudged that so badly.

What didn't they misjudge so badly?

December's election was quite probably the lowest point for democracy in this country... ever. And it was so utterly predictable.

How so? Decent turnout, and a clear result, with the party polling the most votes being returned to government, and the communist antisemite kicked to the gutter as he deserved.

You should look up how first past the post means that the party getting the most votes very rarely wins.  

If you are going to adopt such a patronising tone, it helps if you get your facts right. The party getting the most votes in the UK pretty much always wins.

The margin in seats is much greater than the margin in votes, but where do you possibly get the idea from that the party without the most votes rarely wins? Can you name how many times it’s happened in recent centuries, or were you just making it up as you fancied an argument?

Edited to add, I can see that you signed up just when a troll account was shut down, and have started off with trolling. Very poor.

Disagreeing with someone is not trolling.  

I won't continue the debate here as it is isn't relevant to the topic.  

That doesn't sound like trolling either.  Does it?  

Go on then, give me the facts that show that the party with the most votes rarely wins in UK elections.

You can’t, as you know it’s not true, and only invented it to try to cause an argument.

What’s the excuse to be when you can’t give it?

Continuing off topic and just to wind the argument up:
2019 election votes:
Conservative 13,966,451 votes
Labour 10,295,912 votes
LibDems: 3,696,419 votes.
So the party with the most votes did win.

56% of the seats, from 43% of the vote.
31% from 32%
1.7% from 12%
And, of course, 7.5% from 4%

If you add on the SNPs(1,242,380) votes and the other smaller partys, then the opposition got more votes than the Conservatives.

Always the case. The majority of the electorate don't actually vote for the Government, we need compulsory voting

The Tories got the votes of 29% of the electorate.

How is this related to the RAC?

Not that that has anything to do with the point made, but no, they didn’t. It wasn’t conservatives against “the others”, it was a group of different parties, and the one that formed the opposition, Labour, didn’t gain more votes.

I can't imagine that there is any politician I would want to stop if I was broken down at the side of the road, other than Tobias Ellwood.
