"providing him with a furnished Chelsea home, a car and a driver, and money to promote him in America". And we all know how dodgy Arron Banks is ... Russian wife and suspected "donations" from Russia to fund the Brexit campaign? I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to learn that these muppets are the modern day equivalents to the Cambridge spys of the 1950's. Printed in the Guardian. Says it all really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one post defending Tommy Islam, I guess it's a case of one racist creep championing another. Pat Condell is a nasty old bigot. The one bright spot is that we can celebrate when he dies ... hopefully quite soon. Lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a good showing of bright youngsters on the TV a while back, with the leavers in about equal numbers to remainers (it was up north somewhere) but far more aware and astute than the pro EU lot. Hopefully this will be the vanguard of Generation Z, who are presently witnessing this attack on UK democracy and can't believe it, either. Good for them!

aright Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I have just caught up with the process of seat allocation to the European Parliament.....It's quite complex. The way votes are counted in a European election is different to a general election too. A system called d’Hondt is used, which is meant to produce a broadly proportional allocation of seats. The total number of votes for each party in each region are counted and then put in order. The party at the top gets seat number one. That is allocated to the candidate at the top of its list. The winning party’s vote total is then halved and the whole list is looked at again. Whichever party is on top of this reordered list gets the next seat. That may well be the same party that won the first seat, if it has secured enough support, or it may be another party. The party at the top of the second list (if it is a different party) then gets its vote total divided in half and the process is repeated. (If the same party has just won twice, the division is by three). This goes on until all the seats in the region are filled. Parties with less support may never reach the top and won’t win a seat. Chances vary depending on the size of the region. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't matter how much you think Brexit is an answer or how many people vote for it, it doesn't make it right - you can't vote the world flat. It's been a continuing source of amusement to me reading posts of Brexiteers since the referendum result. Every prediction wrong ... we had Sgt Rock (long gone) predicting the collapse of the EU and providing his "proofs", and insisting everyone else posts "proofs" ... wrong. A more recent one was telling me that I simply lacked his legal and forensic skills when I told him the UK would still be in the EU on 30 March 2019 ... he's since disappeared. I recognise that most OAPs in the UK support Brexit ... but these guys fail to acknowledge that young people in this country do not. Opinions trump facts in their deluded world.
