Nope. There's really only one horse in this race and it means Brexit Done. The British voted for Brexit in the referendum, the general election that followed it, the European election we shouldn't still have been there for (in May) and - for party members only - the conservative leadership election when Theresa May resigned. In this election the electorate, including lifelong Labour voters, are clearly showing their anger that the opposition parties have been fighting the will of the people for three years and treasonably prevented us leaving in April and again in October.
@@Anti_WokeThereby having condemned us to 5 years of total Conservative incompetence and worsening inequality, compounded by the damage done by Brexit. What did people think was going to happen when they backed Boris?
From a Brit here's how we actually vote: We vote to get the party that's fucked us over and humiliated us for years out, it's never been to get a worthy party in. They're both the same. We vote Tory now because many of us remember all the crap from New Labour and before that we voted them because of all the crap from the Tories.

@@bobsemple7660 I just think it's disingenuous to only complain about our voting system after you've lost. Besides, supporters of proportional representation incorrectly act as if there are absolutely no flaws with their preferred system. Proportional representation would lead us down the road of having a useless parliament that can never get anything done because not a single party in this country agrees on more than a few things with any other party. What we had for the past 2 years (complete political deadlock where Parliament literally does nothing about anything) would become the norm forever more. What's the point of even having a Parliament if they can't do their jobs because nobody has a majority?
@@bobsemple7660 If you actually spent any time looking into the Weimar Republic you'd know that almost nobody who was part of it (from the moderates to the extremists) actually liked it, and the list of its failures are enormous. Germany saw its worst period of hyperinflation ever under the Weimar Republic, the members of the republic were by and large incredibly inexperienced politicians who let through several bizarre laws that shot themselves in the foot like the law that allowed the Reichstag could remove the sitting Chancellor even if they hadn't determined a successor yet, leading to one instance in 1932 where the German government could not be held in office after the previous chancellor had been removed via a vote of no confidence because there wasn't a name successor, and let's not forget that it's the diversity of proportional representation that allowed the ridiculous radical parties of both the left and right extremes to have enough of a say in politics that a man like Adolf Hitler and a party like the Nazi party ended up in power. So if your shining example of proportional representation is the complete mess that lead to the rise of Nazi Germany then that's not a very compelling argument.

It's really not a bad system. It provides a decisive two-party system when times are "normal". However, during polarising times like this, you see smaller parties gain popularity putting pressure on the main parties effectively forcing them to change their policies respectively.
It is awful - yes but we had a referendum to change it though. A large majority wanted to stick to it. We can have another referendum on it in 15 years. Just live with it. We got outvoted.
This is so undemocratic. You're not voting for who should represent you. Everyone in the same party is just mingling together. Whereas the executive should be voted for as the executive runs things much differently from the legislative.
People complain about the first past the vote means that most of the electorate voted against the winner. Well most of the electorate voted for brexit but people still have a problem with that

@@kaydim5921nah they are all accountable to the voters. And if you mean the leader can demote them on the list then yes they can but constituency MPs can also have the whip withdrawn or be deselected by their constituency party at the moment. I have a Slovak friend and he said there where the voting system is fully by list the MPs aren’t even whipped in how to vote and are much freer than our MPs in making up their own mind. I do personally support STV though where all MPs represent constituencies but the constituencies are larger and elect 3 to 5 MPs each like in Ireland.
The boundaries commissions for each country (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_commissions_(United_Kingdom)) For all the hatred and bile the SJWs throw around Britain is a remarkably fair and uncorrupt country and as far as I know no party has any major complaints about the constituencies. Our civil servants, who administer this stuff, are independent so we don't have any of the wierd gerrymandering that, say, the USA does. Our major problem at the moment is that as the population grows so the number of MPs has to increase in order to keep more or less the same voter ratio but already a) they can't represent 60k - 80k people in any meaningful way so they just follow their party, b) there isn't enough office space for them, their staff, dogs, 'advisors' and assorted hangers-on even with the addition of Portcullis House opposite the palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament).

First of all, the current conservatives are nowhere near centre... more far right than centre right... Labour are more socialist than liberals, making they’re further left than centre left... Last but not least, #VoteLabour
Idk. There isnt an exact map. Generally people speak on relative terms. Tories are far right to labour and labour is communist to tories. Generally bollocks. Its conservatives vs social democrats by any fixed definition. The centre shifts everywhere. In 2001 it was somewhere else conservative neoliberals vs progressive neoliberals and barely a gap between.
You may have found the answer already, but there are 2 biggest parties (brackets show number of seats in 2019 election): Conservatives (365), and Labour(202). The smaller nationwide parties are Liberal Democrats(11), and Greens(1). There are nationalist parties in Scotland: SNP(48); and in Wales: Plaid Cymru(4). There are also parties in Northern Ireland, which is separate in that the nationwide parties don't run there, but other parties do. The NI parties which got seats in 2019: DUP(8), Sinn Fein(7), SDLP(2), and Alliance(1). Additionally, the Speaker runs in a seat and does not have the ability to vote, so is often counted separately: Speaker(1). The biggest party which got no seats were the obsolete Brexit Party and UKIP, as well as the Northern Irish party UUP, which has been eclipsed by DUP but still occasionally win seats in Westminster elections.
In contrast to the slightly more sceptical answers, if you were looking for a more serious answer: The people vote for the House of Commons, each party in the House of Commons will have a leader, the leader of the party with 326+ seats or the leader of the largest party in a coalition of parties goes to the Queen, no one knows what happens at the meeting because TRADITION, but they then come out of the meeting as Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will then appoint a number (usually about 25) of MPs to be Cabinet Ministers (who each have their own departments like the Environment, Defence, International Trade, etc.) who form the Cabinet which the Prime Minister needs the consent of the majority of to act, although USUALLY they just agree because if they don't the PM can just fire them and also they're usually pretty ideologically similar to the PM. He will also appoint a number of non-Cabinet Ministers whom he does not need the consent of. These are a few guiding principles about the Cabinet: - All have to be MPs (Members of the House of Commons) or Peers (Members of the House of Lords), although usually Peers are only chosen for roles directly concerning the day-to-day running of the House of Lords, so the majority are MPs. - The Convention of "Collective Cabinet Responsibility" means that, if there's a scandal in a Minister's department, they will resign, regardless of whether or not they are personally at fault for it. - The Convention of "Prima inter Pares" (first among equals) means that the Prime Minister is merely the chair of the Cabinet and cannot control them. - There are relatively frequent Cabinet reshuffles where the PM promotes those they like and demotes those they don't. The government can create things called "secondary legislation" which is stuff that is so petty that it would be a waste of time getting parliament to vote on it and getting the Queen to sign it, so the government do it. The matters it deals with are so petty that people just accept it as necessary and obvious. The Supreme Court can reverse actions of the government, which has been controversial twice in the last few years- once when the Supreme Court said that the government could not leave the EU without giving Parliament a say, and again when it ruled that the Prime Minister had "wrongly advised the Queen" when he prorogued (suspended) parliament for a long time during a period of national crisis. However, it cannot and this is a crucial difference with the US, block Acts of Parliament because Parliament is sovereign. Thus, the government cannot just ignore parliament and on almost every issue passes a piece of legislation. Here are some differences with the UK government's relationship with the legislature that differs with the US' (because I assume that's where you're from, or at least is the most well-known system in the world): - In the UK, the party in government almost always has a majority of seats in the legislature, meaning when the government puts a Bill to parliament, they usually can expect to see it passed. In fact, in normal times when parliament does what the PM wants, the word "government" is frequently used to describe both the executive and legislature. - There is no advice and consent clause in the UK, so most of the things that the Senate approve in the US, the government does (in theory the government advise the Queen to do what they want). However, this is offset by appointments in the UK being much less partisan. For instance, the Supreme Court appointments are made by an independent committee, who advises the Prime Minister, who does what the committee advises. Almost all members of the civil service are non-partisan and appointments are made on merit, and Cabinet ministers are effectively considered an extension of what the people just voted for in the election. - In the UK all partisan members of the executive are members of the legislature, in the US it's constitutionally forbidden from people being in two branches at one time. - In the US scrutiny is done through Committees, whereas, whilst the UK has Committees, they're less powerful and less partisan with members from all parties often working together for the same aim. Most public scrutiny is done through "Question Time" where Ministers receive questions from MPs. The most notable of these being Prime Minister's Questions which televised live and happens every Wednesday, frequently drawing in millions of viewers at times of political uncertainty. This has been a stupidly thorough overview, but I felt I had to overcompensate if you were looking for a serious answer and just got four straight answers saying "badly" and "it doesn't".

The funny thing is, is that it was this income tax that was expected to fund a lot of the ridiculous promises Corbin made in his 2019 manifesto. It’s the most extreme-left set of promises he has ever made, and is now not only alienating working class, blue collar labor voters in the north and midlands but also his own social democratic traditional labor MPs. He’s going to resign before the end of the week. Say goodbye to your fairyland world of politics.
Corbyn is anti war, he’s not an extremist. People don’t understand that wars and threats of violence bring about the trauma that cause much of the environmental, humanitarian, refugee crises around the world, throughout history. Extremism is to advocate for violence.

Replace House of Commons with House of Representatives Replace Constituency with District. Replace MP with Representative. Replace Prime Minister with Speaker of the House More or less that's what a UK election is, they are voting for their lower house of government and the way they vote for it is identical to ours which makes sense since our system is based on theirs
Close but there are major differences too. Although the prime minister is not head of state (the Queen is) he or she is much more like a president. The 'upper house' also has much less power than in most countries. Most importantly though, our government (let alone parliament or either of its houses) has nothing like the authority over the 'administration' that the US one does.
Not identical. This arrangement would make the US Speaker of the House the most powerful politician in the US, as the Speaker is effectively the head of the government.
Not really far right. There’s still many examples of socialism present in current and recent tory manifestos. Be it the minimum wage, national/local level security and public services, higher investment in the NHS etc. Not really an argument for them being far right.
I know how they work. You stand in a queue for hours to put a cross on a box, that will mean nothing once all the other tossers put down their crosses... and then you go home and pretend that you've done your bit for your country, and proceed to look down on anybody who was too lazy to make this monumental contribution that you just graced your fellow countryman with.
Even if you make a 2 party system which isn't any fairer. You still won't necessarily get the winner receiving most of the votes. So the only way to make it fair is PR. And with PR you have to acknowledge that currently, fringe ring wing groups get 0 seats in parliament even if they get millions of votes. So you have to concede those fringe groups will get power of some kind. Also, look around the rest of Europe, most of them have coalition government's which isn't a great option for stability either.

MMP best voting system. You get a local representative and it scales to reflect the the % in the parliament
Two tiered MPs. Some are accountable to their constituents and others are accountable to the party leader.
Or STV
@@kaydim5921nah they are all accountable to the voters.
And if you mean the leader can demote them on the list then yes they can but constituency MPs can also have the whip withdrawn or be deselected by their constituency party at the moment.
I have a Slovak friend and he said there where the voting system is fully by list the MPs aren’t even whipped in how to vote and are much freer than our MPs in making up their own mind.
I do personally support STV though where all MPs represent constituencies but the constituencies are larger and elect 3 to 5 MPs each like in Ireland.
the real thing is who draws the district?
The boundaries commissions for each country (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_commissions_(United_Kingdom))
For all the hatred and bile the SJWs throw around Britain is a remarkably fair and uncorrupt country and as far as I know no party has any major complaints about the constituencies. Our civil servants, who administer this stuff, are independent so we don't have any of the wierd gerrymandering that, say, the USA does. Our major problem at the moment is that as the population grows so the number of MPs has to increase in order to keep more or less the same voter ratio but already a) they can't represent 60k - 80k people in any meaningful way so they just follow their party, b) there isn't enough office space for them, their staff, dogs, 'advisors' and assorted hangers-on even with the addition of Portcullis House opposite the palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament).

How many political parties are in the UK?
You may have found the answer already, but there are 2 biggest parties (brackets show number of seats in 2019 election): Conservatives (365), and Labour(202). The smaller nationwide parties are Liberal Democrats(11), and Greens(1). There are nationalist parties in Scotland: SNP(48); and in Wales: Plaid Cymru(4). There are also parties in Northern Ireland, which is separate in that the nationwide parties don't run there, but other parties do. The NI parties which got seats in 2019: DUP(8), Sinn Fein(7), SDLP(2), and Alliance(1). Additionally, the Speaker runs in a seat and does not have the ability to vote, so is often counted separately: Speaker(1).
The biggest party which got no seats were the obsolete Brexit Party and UKIP, as well as the Northern Irish party UUP, which has been eclipsed by DUP but still occasionally win seats in Westminster elections.

It doesn't

@@melgrant7404 it's same for all the countries
In contrast to the slightly more sceptical answers, if you were looking for a more serious answer:
The people vote for the House of Commons, each party in the House of Commons will have a leader, the leader of the party with 326+ seats or the leader of the largest party in a coalition of parties goes to the Queen, no one knows what happens at the meeting because TRADITION, but they then come out of the meeting as Prime Minister. The Prime Minister will then appoint a number (usually about 25) of MPs to be Cabinet Ministers (who each have their own departments like the Environment, Defence, International Trade, etc.) who form the Cabinet which the Prime Minister needs the consent of the majority of to act, although USUALLY they just agree because if they don't the PM can just fire them and also they're usually pretty ideologically similar to the PM. He will also appoint a number of non-Cabinet Ministers whom he does not need the consent of.
These are a few guiding principles about the Cabinet:
- All have to be MPs (Members of the House of Commons) or Peers (Members of the House of Lords), although usually Peers are only chosen for roles directly concerning the day-to-day running of the House of Lords, so the majority are MPs.
- The Convention of "Collective Cabinet Responsibility" means that, if there's a scandal in a Minister's department, they will resign, regardless of whether or not they are personally at fault for it.
- The Convention of "Prima inter Pares" (first among equals) means that the Prime Minister is merely the chair of the Cabinet and cannot control them.
- There are relatively frequent Cabinet reshuffles where the PM promotes those they like and demotes those they don't.
The government can create things called "secondary legislation" which is stuff that is so petty that it would be a waste of time getting parliament to vote on it and getting the Queen to sign it, so the government do it. The matters it deals with are so petty that people just accept it as necessary and obvious.
The Supreme Court can reverse actions of the government, which has been controversial twice in the last few years- once when the Supreme Court said that the government could not leave the EU without giving Parliament a say, and again when it ruled that the Prime Minister had "wrongly advised the Queen" when he prorogued (suspended) parliament for a long time during a period of national crisis. However, it cannot and this is a crucial difference with the US, block Acts of Parliament because Parliament is sovereign. Thus, the government cannot just ignore parliament and on almost every issue passes a piece of legislation.
Here are some differences with the UK government's relationship with the legislature that differs with the US' (because I assume that's where you're from, or at least is the most well-known system in the world):
- In the UK, the party in government almost always has a majority of seats in the legislature, meaning when the government puts a Bill to parliament, they usually can expect to see it passed. In fact, in normal times when parliament does what the PM wants, the word "government" is frequently used to describe both the executive and legislature.
- There is no advice and consent clause in the UK, so most of the things that the Senate approve in the US, the government does (in theory the government advise the Queen to do what they want). However, this is offset by appointments in the UK being much less partisan. For instance, the Supreme Court appointments are made by an independent committee, who advises the Prime Minister, who does what the committee advises. Almost all members of the civil service are non-partisan and appointments are made on merit, and Cabinet ministers are effectively considered an extension of what the people just voted for in the election.
- In the UK all partisan members of the executive are members of the legislature, in the US it's constitutionally forbidden from people being in two branches at one time.
- In the US scrutiny is done through Committees, whereas, whilst the UK has Committees, they're less powerful and less partisan with members from all parties often working together for the same aim. Most public scrutiny is done through "Question Time" where Ministers receive questions from MPs. The most notable of these being Prime Minister's Questions which televised live and happens every Wednesday, frequently drawing in millions of viewers at times of political uncertainty.
This has been a stupidly thorough overview, but I felt I had to overcompensate if you were looking for a serious answer and just got four straight answers saying "badly" and "it doesn't".

Replace House of Commons with House of Representatives
Replace Constituency with District.
Replace MP with Representative.
Replace Prime Minister with Speaker of the House
More or less that's what a UK election is, they are voting for their lower house of government and the way they vote for it is identical to ours which makes sense since our system is based on theirs
Close but there are major differences too. Although the prime minister is not head of state (the Queen is) he or she is much more like a president. The 'upper house' also has much less power than in most countries. Most importantly though, our government (let alone parliament or either of its houses) has nothing like the authority over the 'administration' that the US one does.
We ain’t adopting an American like system over here
Not identical. This arrangement would make the US Speaker of the House the most powerful politician in the US, as the Speaker is effectively the head of the government.
*Replace minority rule with PR coalitions
One minor correction: the Conservatives are a far-right party.
Not really far right. There’s still many examples of socialism present in current and recent tory manifestos. Be it the minimum wage, national/local level security and public services, higher investment in the NHS etc. Not really an argument for them being far right.
