As I said earlier, Worthing is a lost cause for anyone with my political beliefs, so that ship sailed years ago. I am not talking of my personal circumstance, I’m talking of the National picture, as someone else mentions, a Tory vote is wasted in a lot of pro Labour constituencies, their vote...

I’m just asking that my vote, a right that people have died for, and are still dying for in other countries, should actually mean something nationally. I’m not clever enough to design a system that could make every vote in an election count, or be seen to count, but, there have to be a more...

East Worthing

Absolutely no idea. My constituency will always return a Tory, I don’t think it has ever been anything else, certainly not since universal suffrage came in. I would think that if a form of PR came in that it would mean a complete change in the way the whole system is organised. I’m not holding...

Exactly, the only parties in favour of FPTP are the parties whose vote share would be reduced by PR. I have voted in every election since I was 18, my vote has never meant anything because I live in a safe seat. FPTP is anti democratic.

Are there any countries who have gone from PR to FPTP?

And the DUP are in favour of FPTP, doesn’t mean all extremists back PR.

Just edited, I realised I was thinking faster than I type.

Like the Greens SNP and Lib Dem’s? The only 2 parties who appear to be in favour of FOTP,are Labour andConservative

Trumps complaints even before the American election were not about the system of the vote, it was how the votes were counted, and how fraud would be used by his opponents to rob him of his rightful victory ( in his eyes) . My opposition to our electoral system, is it is not fit for purpose in...

Another thought on this subject. In the recent American election, Trumps main post election attack was that there was massive voter fraud that robbed him of his victory. This had been instigated by POSTAL vote fraud , in most cases, or defective electronic voting machines, deliberately giving...

The biggest electoral fraud is that a party who polled 43% of the vote, could end up with an 80 seat majority, giving them the opportunity to bring in draconian laws to insist on photo ID so voters opposed to them can be lawfully prevented from voting against them in future elections. Our...

What type of proof is going to be needed for a voter I'D photo card. Is it going to be like a passport where now numerous hoops have to be jumped through to get your first one? If I recall, my daughter had to have an interview for her first passport as well as having her photo authenticated by...

A vote is meant to be a secret ballot isn't it? So why when I vote, I'm given a ballot paper with a number written on it , the number is then written on a piece of paper beside my name. If the authorities, big brother whatever, wanted to know which way I voted in this 'secret ballot' they could...

Depends on if it's photo I'D. My dear old Mum has no passport, it ran out 10 or more years ago,and as she is now 90 years old with no inclination to travel abroad, why should she have one? She gave up driving 20 years ago when she was first diagnosed diabetic. She has no need for photo I'D.
