We are electing politicians on a system that doesn't work in a democratic way. You’ve lost me. Electing people is not democratic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidorry Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I think it is not the kind of democracy to suit him, so all of it is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he would prefer a system whereby he has to wait 3 years and 11 months to be able to vote anyone out after a balls up. Still, thats his decision. Just now, Organgrinder said: How is our First past The Post system democratic?

Ah so we have now moved on to a totally different argument about electoral systems, rather than how often elections are. Crikey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of democracy certainly does not suit me because it IS NOT DEMOCRACY if there are more people who don't want you than there who do. Tell me how a minority is democratic?

Kidorry Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Because if the other two parties have more collective members voted in, then they can stop the leading party doing what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about when there are not 2 other parties but they have been voted in on a minority. Only 35.9% of Sheffielders voted and even they, didn't all vote for the incumbents, so the council were voted in by A MINORITY and the majority DIDN'T WANT THEM.
