Why would it say that? UKIP got one MP for their four million and I've argued on here many times that they deserved more.Richard_Tyndall said:
It says you are a bigot and a sore loser. Not sure it says much else apart from that.Bobajob_PB said:
No. Four million votes says something, not necessarily different though!Tykejohnno said:

In fairness though, he was right about that one.Tykejohnno said:
One of his biggest gaffe's was his "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists" put off millions of working class voters from the posh boy.TheScreamingEagles said:

Yep. If there are 4 million votes for the Fruitcake Party they should get more than one MP, that's for sure.Tykejohnno said:

Wrong.PAW said:Bobajob_PB - EU workers unemployment is double.
The Commission's report found that EU migrants were less likely to be non-active than British nationals. While 30% of EU nationals in the UK are non-active, 43% of British nationals are likewise (although, as the OBR has pointed out, this may owe much to the age structure of immigrants, who are more likely to be of working age when they arrive on these shores). Similarly, whereas 77% of working-age EU nationals were employed, 68% of British nationals in the same age bracket could say the same.0 -

Hardcore Leavers won't stand for that. They need and want everyone to be equally immiserated.williamglenn said:
The most important difference I can see is that the EU wants anyone who has previously exercised their right to live or work in the UK/EU to maintain that right indefinitely whereas the UK wants to restrict it to people who are resident on the cut off day.

There is a flipside though - if the sane tory party cut themselves loose from the nutters who currently run the show, they have a chance of a majority.
Not likely to happen, imo. Since 2014 the wealthy xenophobic pensioners wing of the party have wrestled back control and they ain't letting go.0 -

I thought the cap actually benifitted middle class middle age people who stood to inherit. As for the Queen's speech, that's hardly surprising. They didn't win a majority. Remind me again about Labour's policies on the triple lock and WFA for millionaire pensioners.Pong said:

After a year of living dangerously, it is the pro-Europeans who now have a spring in their step. “We are not dancing in the streets, but we are back in the game,” one leading figure said. Re-energised Europhile Tories discuss alliances with MPs in other parties. Previously cowed pro-Europeans in the Cabinet flex their muscles, ready to exploit their new clout now that Ms May’s authority has been shot to pieces. The voice of business, unheard in the election, calls for the economy, not control of migration, to be put first.
In this world of topsy-turvy politics, hardline Brexiteers are not in despair yet, but some are nervous. The more paranoid amongst them can again see their worst nightmare coming true. They are relieved that Ms May remains committed to leaving the single market and customs union. But they worry that Parliament could now throw a spanner in all their works.

They are different. Just because they are within the range that is within the 95% certainty doesn't mean they are the same. For instance there is a higher probability that the actual figure for the person on 35% is going to be higher than the person on 34%.CarlottaVance said:

Ten years since the Yorkshire floods started:
' More than 28,000 properties were affected by the flooding that hit large parts of the UK, a BBC survey of local councils suggests.
In Hull, 17,000 properties were flooded. More than 1,000 were affected in East Riding, Sheffield, Doncaster and Wakefield.
As many as 35,000 people were affected by flooding in Hull, with areas across the city inundated. More than 10,000 homes were evacuated and many schools were closed.
It could cost more than £200m to repair the damage to schools, public housing, doctor's surgeries, roads and leisure centres, said Hull City Council leader Carl Minns.
Hull was the "forgotten city" of the floods, said Mr Minns. An appeal, the Hull Flood Fund has been set up.
Visiting the victims, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said: "The poorest, the most vulnerable people on very low incomes - when these things hit them, it hits them hard." '

Not quite what George Osborne predicted a year ago:
' Manufacturing firms reported that both their total and export order books had strengthened to multi-decade highs in June, according to the CBI’s latest Industrial Trends Survey.
•27% of manufacturers reported total order books to be above normal, and 12% said they were below normal, giving a rounded balance of +16%. This was the highest level seen in nearly three decades, since August 1988 (+17%)
•23% of firms said their export order books were above normal, and 10% said they were below normal, giving a balance of +13%. This was the highest balance since June 1995 (+20%) '
