    Don’t you even try. The people voted the Tories, UK is not a dictatorship. We are paying the consequences of our stupidity.

      We are paying the consequences of our stupidity.

      FPTP-voting was designed by ancient wealthy romans in order for them to maintain rule regardless of voter-outcomes, this system is inherently flawed in favor of the rich as it makes it easy for them to manipulate. Donate enough to both sides and it’s all business as usual no matter the opinion of the populace. In too many places it’s a trait of leaving democracy as a mere experiment and bonkers to continue without reform in modern times.
