maxmaximus Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 What is "loosing" an election? Getting fewer seats than the party with the most seats. ---------- Post added 30-01-2013 at 16:57 ---------- It's obviously a typo. Thanks, yes should have been losing:thumbsup: ---------- Post added 30-01-2013 at 16:59 ---------- Not enough for an overall majority, hence they were not elected. Is that a little like someone winning a race but not by enough get a world record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That is a very poor attempt at an analogy. Must try harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joggit Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 You didn't answer the question . Did the Tories get the most votes ? Yes or no No. The other parties combined got more votes than the tories. So they should be in charge. 64% of people did not vote tory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 So who should be in government right now if not the Tory/Libdem coalition? A different coalition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joggit Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Strange . . I am glad that you agree that it is strange that a party that got only 36% of the vote is in charge. You called it correctly there! ---------- Post added 30-01-2013 at 17:25 ---------- My thread has got sidetracked. It is about the growing number of people who are sadly taking their own lives because of tory policies driving them to despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
