Re:LibDem Win reflects Stop Brexit 4 Years, 7 Months ago

There is nothing in last night’s result that would cause any unbiased person to reach that conclusion. The actual result last night was
Lib Dem – 43%
Conservative – 39%
Brexit – 10%
Labour – 5%
Other – 3%
The Lib Dem’s won because they had a pact with the Green and Plaid Cymru parties both of which are pro remain and agreed to not stand to give Lib Dem’s a better chance. When someone complains about the fairness of reporting I do think if it is a principle it should be applied to all subjects.
Re:LibDem Win reflects Stop Brexit 4 Years, 7 Months ago
I do admire the fact they were able to get the pacts done. It is somewhat ironic however that a party who passionately lobby for proportional representation made arrangements to win a "first past the post" vote when they would have been defeated by a combined total of pro Brexit parties.
