I’m not sure I agree, Countries with FPTP have highest levels of wealth inequality, countries with highest living standards for ordinary people and good public services….have PR

You mean like the 'sunny uplands' of brexshit?

Oh,and garbage has just said trump is apparently innocent!

And then he lies about the UK economy...

He's probably relying on the inherently stupid for his voter base ;)
 
Lucky Clacton ...

Says he's committed to giving the time to politics and the constituency should he win.
 
Pretending to yawn whilst a reporter gives his question. Very professional and no doubt a sign of things to come.

Thats just not true, the whole of south america and southern Africa has PR and its a basket case in terms of living standards. But if you mean the nordic countries then yes they do, but tax rates are vastly higher to pay for it. Its not pr that does the trick its just taxation and that can be sky high and do great public services and standards of living without pr eg Singapore
 
garbage has also said that he expects labour will win, but it will be a corrupt win given the system...

Sounds a bit like 2016...

Trying again to influence the stupid voters! ;)
 
He might actually win an election this time. It depends how much loyalty Giles Watkins has earned.

Labour is a rounding error there and the constituency is old, poor and lusting after the good old days.

Their tax rates are not 'vastly higher'...

They just choose to get the rich to pay more than the poor proportionately and use the income more wisely as regards public services :rolleyes:

PS. Could you tell us which European country first introduced a recognised income tax? ;)

Yes it's a fantasy land question, for now, however my salient point is what would it mean for the UK if such a party did actually win and hold the seat of power.

Lizz Truss on steroids. (I'm sorry if that's put anyone off their tea.)
