So apparently people are pissed off because 63% of all voters didn't vote for the Tories and are now protesting in London.

Hey dipsticks! 69% didn't vote for Labour, 78% didn't vote for UKIP and 92% didn't vote for the Lib Dems! Fuck off to North Korea if you are that opposed to democracy!

Yes and the Green party are running a campaign that states that if proportional mrepresentation was a thing they'd have 25 seats and not 1. Basically "We can't win an election conventionally, change the rules so we can win something!" Greens are Tumblr.

Their grievance is somewhat legitimate. Our electoral system isn't proportional and under-represents smaller parties. Thats been a complaint by many people for a long time now.

Of course acting like the salty, petulant children of #toriesoutnow will get you nothing, but its not an illegitimate complaint.

Oh definitely not, I'm for Proportional Representation, but I imagine the same people in #toriesoutnow would soon complain about that too because UKIP would have 80 seats in Parliament and would likely work with the Tories, as well as being a force to be reckoned with.

I would actually argue that #toriesoutnow could be called an anti-democracy protest, because on the whole, it's a bunch of people whinging that their party didn't win.

They're some of the most salty losers I've seen in a while....

...And i'm a regular user of the farms.

One of them also defaced a war memorial

The whole protest is a vortex of autism. Nobody there knows/cares how everyone else is viewing them.

And if they find out that people think they're dumb and should shut up and take the democratic result like an adult, you're an indoctrinated right winger who loves tipping disabled people out of their wheelchairs.

Yeah ^this^.

The salt from labour voters in my country is insane at the moment. I'm embarrassed to be one of them,

They have no dignity in their defeat. A new conspiracy involving the use of pencils on ballots is gaining steam.

I think the defeat broke my parties base.... but that's what you get when you fuck around for five years and let the Tories run rings around you.

Nick Cohen said this in a guardian piece that sums it up perfectly-

“The biggest failure of understanding is the most paradoxical. Labour and the left do not take the right seriously. They dismiss its leaders as greedy fat cats and public school toffs, and do not grasp how formidable they have become.”

“In other words, the power of one of the world’s great trading centres is behind the Tory party. The power is manifest not just in campaign donations, but in the arrogance of financial capitalists, who never allow any number of market failures to dent their self-confidence or the self-confidence of their political allies. If you are going to take them on, you need to be good. In fact, you need to be brilliant.”

I'm very much against UKIP and just about everything they stand for, but this isn't a good argument against PR. If people are going to vote for UKIP, even if it's against their best interests, then UKIP deserves to get represented. The flip side is that there are plenty of left-of-Labour parties who would also do well under PR, so I don't think the system would really swing Parliament rightward. I guess you could argue that from a leftwing perspective a UKIP-Tory coalition would be worse than a pure Tory administration, but it's splitting hairs - there are plenty of people on the Tory right who are essentially UKIPers who just don't want to join a small party.

If anything it's faintly admirable to see Labour supporters supporting PR, because PR is not really going to help the Labour party. If the last election had been run under some kind of PR system, Labour would still have lost.

Oh I'm not arguing against PR. I'm just pointing out that these numpties would just complain about that instead.
 
I said this awhile ago that UKIP was Bertie Wooster tricking Barry the boomer from Leicester into voting for them. If UKIP were running here i'd have preferenced them after the conservative party that I have a membership.

I would have too. The Labour party have nothing to offer me as a working white British male under the age of 50.

See I would bring back public flogging for people like this. They have no respect for history and their actions are reprehensible. A fitting punishment would be to make whoever vandalized it, clean it off, with an audience and a tv crew on national TV whilst some aging female WW2 veterans hurled abuse and derision at them. #triggered

I'd imagine somebody high up in the Labour spin department got quite loud into a phone as the exit polls began to come in demanding that it never see the light of day again. I would imagine by now its been crushed and turned into oversight fill for a new house or is fast on the way to becoming a nice new patio for some middle class English retiree.
 
....and now Farage has unresigned, allegedly at the behest of UKIP HQ (or what passes for it).

It's like if Alan Partridge became a politician, only Partridge is actually more likeable. You can at least feel pity for him.
