British election shows stupidity of their voting system. Tories get 37% end up running the country

[kiwiman127]

What an idiotic result......

Tories get less than 37% of the vote...yet they will govern the country.

Not a single solitary policy they pass will have true legitimacy.

Just as nothing the US Senate passes does.

The Conservatives got 51% of the vote, not 37%.

Labor got 36%.

Yes the Conservatives won big in spite of their news media saying it would be a close vote.
Looks like the world is fed up with the socialists for right now.
Conservatives won big in Australia, Israel and now the U.K.
I bet that Obama is not happy at all that Netanyahu and Cameron are still in power.

Despite the fail attempt of far left posters to misrepresent the facts as they always do.

After the elections the Conservatives control 51% of parliament. The Labour party (Tony Blair's old party) controls 36% of parliament.

However some need to understand that the Conservatives in Britain are more like the almost extinct Blue Dog Democrats here in the US or social conservatives like the log cabin republicans.

The Conservatives are a centralist party, so they aren't extreme one way or the other.

In the eyes of America's "conservatives", most of the world's conservative parties (except America's and Israel's) are much like they what call RINOs, in other words, more in the mainstream (centralist).
I'm not saying I have ever been a Republican, but I did used to vote Republican more than I do now. Now, I vote for moderate Republicans and also moderate Democrats.
As G5000 pointed out, sometimes having multiple parties can screw things up. But then considering that both parties have veered to the extreme right and left, I wouldn't mind seeing a more so centralist party as most Americans are more so centralist/moderates. Here we have the largest voting bloc in the country with little to no representation in their country's political system. No wonder there so so much dissatisfaction with Congress (about 75% dissatisfied). The polarized divide is too large, therefore no to little cooperation and nothing really gets done. That's called a broken system. It needs to be fixed.

Just look at the structure of the original Constitution. The winner of the most votes would be President, and the second place winner would be Vice President.

This is not a structure which anticipates parties.

Kosh, you are full of shit and got caught again.

Proof that you do not understand the electoral college system nor the Constitution.

Typical far left drone, but I bet they drone on and on about and continue to prove they do not know anything about it.

To this one they are also denying that there were riots in Baltimore..

Voting far left is not voting centrist. Like is like claiming a far left drone is a liberal..

 

[dcraelin]

Oh, I see what dcraelin was talking about now.

While the Conservative Party won 51% of the seats, they did indeed only win 36.9% of the popular vote.

But this is to be expected in countries that have more than two major parties. I explain this to dunderheads who want the US to have more than two major parties all the time.

The need for people to express differing opinions in multi-party systems is needed..........what isnt needed is systems that punish that......by giving an obviously left-wing country...a Tory governance....with an ass of an PM

Clearly, you know nothing about the British political system. I suggest you do some research before posting on a subject foreign to your knowledge bank. That way you'll avoid making yourself look foolish.

Its a fucked up system that gives you Tory "leadership" with 37% of the vote.

Anything coming out of that government is illegitimate.

He already did that when he said Farage and Galloway are "are genuine voices, out of the box thinkers", when they are generally viewed in the UK as a public embarrassment.

Oh just stfu about Baltimore and other diversions and show us your evidence of how the electoral college was developed to mitigate the downsides of a multi-party system.

 

[paulitician]

Surprised the Left still gets so much support in Great Britain. They've completely destroyed that once great nation. The Left's actually done that all across Western Europe.

So why do so many still support em? Well, look at the U.S. It's mostly about the Freebies. Welfare addicts are no different than crack addicts. They're Freebie Junkies.

I like ron Paul and im a leftist.....cause he worries about the "freebies" that do the most harm...corporate welfare.

The left won the most votes in England.....and those that despise the Tories won 63%+ .....yet the Tories will run the country......and most likely push out the Scots with their arrogance. ....(The ONLY good result of this idiotic election)

That's an illogical conclusion.

In any multiple major party system, the winners will almost always win with significantly less than 50% of the vote. You cannot argue that means there will never be a legitimate government under such a system.

Well it was about "free" government services, but they are no longer sustainable as much of Europe under far left rule discovered. Now they have over bloated social programs and can barely pay for other things.

U. S. Electoral College Official - What is the Electoral College
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress.

Just ask the far left drones, as Bill Clinton did not get 50% popular of the vote, but the majority of the electoral votes.

The Left has done irreversible damage to that once great nation. Now it's just a weak insignificant little island nation. Not sure why anyone even cares who's running it. It's over for Great Britain. It's glory days are gone forever.

I love it when the far left drones show how far to the left they are (especially when they post far left religious propaganda), then post the evidence showing it, then they try and deny it..

Oh man these far left drones truly show they are not anywhere close to being a moderate on any level, I doubt they even know what a moderate is these days..
