Let's continue to keep in mind how bad FPTP is even if it delivers the biggest punishment beating to the Tories in British electoral history. Getting the right result via the wrong route doesn't make the route itself any more desirable. PR is still what we should be aiming for.

The road is only wide enough for one car, so you’ve instructed the oncoming car to come through even though it’s technically your right of way. They’ve accepted your courteousness and here they come, driving towards you. Any second now they’ll give you a little wave. Or maybe…

The Tory party, my God. Just lies. Straight-up fucking lies, conspiracy theory, bullshit, gibberish, fantasy-land nonsense. A party pissing itself away into nothing. Doesn't represent a single fucking value. Doesn't demonstrate a single goddamn thread of responsibility. An abyss.

“Khalife is believed to have escaped by holding onto strapping underneath the van.” It is believed that Khalife blinded the cyclops who checked the vans by stabbing him in his eye, and the cyclops could only feel the roofs of the vans as they left the prison.

Punctuation is important. “Illegal Migration Bill” reads as a “Migration Bill” that is illegal. If it were a bill about illegal migration it would be “Illegal-Migration Bill”. But it is not. It is correctly titled as it is.

A quick poll for people living in England (with apologies to everyone else). If we had PR rather than FPTP, and your vote counted 100% no matter which constituency you lived in, what party would you vote for at the next general election? Please RT for a bigger sample. Thanks.
