I bet they've all voted repeatedly on Big Brother, Pop Idol, X-Factor, I'm a Celebrity etc...

i dont think it needs one... people vote cause they want to , or dont want to .. dont assume that people who didnt vote didnt want the 'winners' . they didnt want the second and third place parties either , theyre not bothered either way , doesnt mean it needs changing .. or even that all the non voters dont agree with the system...

including non voters in with the people who didnt vote for the winners is also 'false' .. say when people say "70% of the people didnt vote for labour" (but really 50 of the 70% didnt vote for anybody) could also mean 80% of the people didnt tory or that 90% didnt vote libdem either...

this stat-

labour won 365 seats - at 26,877 votes per seat
tories won 197 seats - at 44,521 votes per seat
libdems won 62 seats - at 96,378 votes per seat

as if to say labour is getting more mp's per vote , can be 'false' , what these kinda 'stats' can prove is that when people vote for labour -seeing as this stat shows them winning- if theyre voting over 51% (or watever the win point is) the people still voting for labour over the 51% mark arent wasting their vote , it might dilute this statistic more.. but its not proof its wrong... all stuff like this depends on where people live too ....

quick maths 365 times 26877 is nearly 10 million the next sum is nearly 9million and the next is 6 million ... acording to my maths on that stat labour still 'won' ...

its these 'second , third place' cnuts that start things like wars , cos they force themselves into positions of power (where the first place people would normally be) then it kicks off ...

i didnt vote for scaremongers on fecking crack with their shit maths propaganda , who if it were the other way round and a load of facists were doing the shit that saddam , kim jong etc has done / might be doing still , whould be calling for world war 3 to start ...

feck off and vote more you moaning bastards....

Nice to make your acquaintance.

When you say "everytime", presumably you are talking about local elections too then?
