Long way short of a mandate. That's what the left are so desperate for. A man date.

That's a consequence of Britain's risible electoral system. I'm all for replacing it with something that actually works. If you accept that this is a working electoral system, then you have to accept he has a massive, huge mandate to do what he likes to the country for five years and that those opposed should not whine at all.

Really, the only people entitled to complain are those who are in favour of electoral reform. Any complaining from the rest of the peanut gallery just looks like sad, pathetic, feeble, weak livered, ill-considered bitching.

It's just another way to mock the left.

[perrykneeham]

It's pathetic shilling for pathetic PR. Erectoral reform is just a backdoor way of letting backdoor Johnnies like Ed "Backdoor Johnnie" Whatsisname in to some sort of relevance. Only people from the general area of Oxford (and SF) think that's desirable.

Then he has a full and clear and solid mandate winning a huge majority of the seats in parliament and you should shut up with your sad, needy whining.

Manchester? Airport? Gangs? Boats? Petition?

[voice]

I suspect it will take years for them to get over it.

Rivers of weak piss and big fat tears from the right is causing wide spread flooding.

[flatandy]

It's so weird because he's basically one of theirs. The so-called-left party of Britain has an entirely right-wing tory agenda. There is no opposition to right-wingery. They have won. And they are still having sad, sad little meltdowns.

All this wailing and weeping from the extreme far left because of a petition. A petition. A. petition. Peedz.

Do you support PR then?

Musk is promoting the stunt heavily in the US, even going as far as showing how to find random UK post codes.

Though it is amusing how the right have glommed onto this Farage stunt as showing the true will of the people when just a few years ago they dismissed the petition calling for a second EU referendum despite it garnering far more support. Yet another rank hypocrisy from the right, it's just ingrained.

Of course he is. Apartheid Clyde really living up to his name.

[voice]

Yeah he's going full on to impose an oligarchy controlled gov in the US and sees the UK as fertile ground for the same. There's a reason he promotes grifters and shisters like Farage.

[flatandy]

I wonder if he'd be so enthusiastic if a few hundred thousand sign a "we must get rid of Trump even though he won an election" petition in the US. I suspect not.
