They voted for the MPs in their constituencies.
We don't vote for which party wins the Parliament. That is not what our votes are for. That is decided by mathematics. The fact that a coalition happened is down to maths.

What I'm saying here is it's nothing to do with us. We vote for our local MPs. That's it. Saying that anyone is unelected or whatever is as inaccurate as it is nonsensical.

So people vote for the personality of the MP and not the party they represent?
and the bad mid term council election results for any councillor in the same party as the government are down to their bad personalities?
(, Thu 10 Jan 2013, 12:14, Reply)
OK, so what happens is a bunch of candidates stand for election where you live.
You vote for them based on their policies. Depending on how many votes they get, somebody wins. We say they've won a "seat". The amount of "seats" across the country are counted. If one party gets the most "seats" (there's one "seat" per physical seat in Parliament, you see) by a particular margin, then they've got a "majority" in Parliament. The head of that party, who's elected by the party members, gets to be PM. That's elected by the party members, not you. He gets to be in Parliament because he also has won a "seat" in his "constituency".

If one party doesn't win enough "seats" to win a "majority", they have to form a "coalition". This is usually done with the party that's come third in the "seat" race.

And that is how it works. If anybody votes for any reason other than the above, such as personalities, they are an idiot. If they vote for a party based on who the leader is, who's probably based in a constituency miles and miles away from them, they're a full-blown fuckwit.

Which is why I advocate an enlightened oligarchy based on restricted power of vote.
Power to vote would be granted by an examination which would include, but not be limited to, testing you to make sure you actually know what it is you're voting for.

Many, many people wouldn't bother to sit the test.
