    UK General Election to be on 4th July

    Are you sure of that? If I remember rightly governments were listing people as having died of covid even if they died in car crashes or falling off ladders.

    UK General Election to be on 4th July

    Diversity at its finest. No wonder the Workers' Party got just a few thousand votes in the election. No wonder this guy got beaten by Labour (despite their faults) in Birmingham Yardley. I bet Labour were quivering in their boots having to come up against the Workers' Party.

    France Elections

    In the system we have the Liberal Democrats got 72 seats and Reform UK got 5 seats, yet Reform got more votes. Doesn't seem right to me. On the Continent and even in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and London Assemblies they have PR. Why don't we have it in General Elections. Because the Big...

    France Elections

    A huge Tricolour on a statue in Paris is reading: "La France est Tissu de Migration" (France is a fabric of migration"). It's always the Left on the streets causing trouble.

    France Elections

    I'm saying the French system is fairer. Their equivalent of Reform UK has won between 120 and 150 seats. Reform UK got 5 seats but would have won nearly 100 seats has we got the French voting system.

    France Elections

    You should see the scenes over there in Paris right now. The Left are about to get into power like next door in Britain (albeit in parliament as itys not a Presidential election). It's a defeat for centrist President Macron. The scenes are like something from the French Revolution. Vast crowds...

    France Elections

    France Télévisions gives the National Rally between 120 and 160 seats - Compare that to Britain where Reform UK got just 5 seats. The French system gives seats according to the proportion of votes they got. It's the system we need in Britain. They all indicate that the left-wing New Popular...

    Confused picture as projections come in Exit polls have just been made available and they all give different numbers - to the point we cannot confidently say which party has come out on top.

    France Elections

    These are only Parliamentary elections. Macron will remain as President. This is just to decide the make up of the French parliament. The French Prime Minister is appointed by the President, not the people. Gabriel Attal is the Prime Minister. France is sort of part way between the British...
