Burt06 08 Jan 17 19:29 the UK is a parliamentary democracy - we do not vote a specific individual, the party that has a majority forms the government and the leader of that party is the PM.When there is a GE, the electorate vote for a Party they want to be in power.

This is completely wrong.

When there is a General Election the electorate vote for an individual to represent their constituency at Parliament. Whether that person is party affiliated or not. You are essentially voting for the best candidate to represent your interests and those of your neighbours.
When the unsuspecting people voted for the Tories they did it on the basis that Cameron would be the PM.
This is false. AT the GE it was well known that we'd have a new PM in this Parliament.
If Mayhem had been the leader ,do you think the Tories would have still won.
Mayhem? Did you make that up all by yourself?
Cameron threw his toys out of his pram, and walked away from the biggest **** up ( I.e losing referendum) )!and also walked away as being one of the worst PM this country has ever had.
Your lack of knowledge on this subject is quite low. The other parties used Cameron not serving a full term as a stick to beat the Conservative's with during the campaign. It was well known to anyone with an interest that Cameron would not see out this Parliament as PM.
Mayhem is worse than Thatcher - so although unelected - could still leave with a prize when she's booted out.
On what basis do you consider her to be elected?

people dont all vote for candidate by name !thats why the party name is also on ballot paper people did know cameron would not serve full term, ....nobodythought he would be gone as soon as he was
You are correct, there are a number of people who will vote for a certain party no matter who the candidate is. Those people are generally ignorant of politics and there's not much you can do to engage them. Luckily 'My grandfather voted X so I'll vote X types' seem to be on the wane.
I think 2016 was the third favourite in the betting after 2018 and 2017. I don't have the figures at hand so if someone wants to correct me on that feel free.

Conservatives were actually third favourites last election!

tories third favourites to win most seats , lolkeep making it up
Well clearly the Conservatives weren't third favourites to win most seats.. They were however third favourites for the last election as I said.

ah okcarry on making up stuff you can agree with
I'm not sure you can make up facts.
That's equally true if you capitalize it.

great stuff, but you still cant hide that your first post was carpkeep twisting, changing, whatever, it wont change
By carp? You mean completely correct?
I really don't understand what your gripe is here. Are you saying the Conservative party were not third favourites to win the last election?

no, i donti mean carp, which it ismy gripe, that you think you are correct, whilst being wrong
Well I know I'm correct as it's a market I was paying heavy attention to.
I'm not sure if you are just confused here or if there's some other issue?
If you could enlighten me as to why you are throwing fish about I'd be most appreciative.

no you have already stated i was correcti just find you odd trying to crawl out of being wrong
I've done nothing of the sort, quite bizarre behaviour.
Anyway as you just seem to be flailing like a carp for no apparent reason.

Here's the graph from Betfair showing Con as third favourites until quite late on with NOM almost certainly the favourite.

Very hard to twist on something that is demonstrably correct.
Somewhere Martin Bell is watching.

I admitted nothing of the sort. I suggest re-reading.
I honestly didn't think anyone would be trying to back up Facts mistaken thinking.
Just in case you are unclear, I'll repeat my original quote that you seem to have taken issue with..
When there is a General Election the electorate vote for an individual to represent their constituency at Parliament. Whether that person is party affiliated or not. You are essentially voting for the best candidate to represent your interests and those of your neighbours.
That is demonstrably correct whether you want it to be so or not.

loljust keep twistingit must be wonderful to be wrong
As previously said how can I be wrong and twisting on something that is demonstrably true.
Although I'm not sure why you are wilfully misreading my comment. Do you actually believe that in UK GE's that the votes are for party and not individuals?
I suspect you are just on a wind up to try and save Facts.

You aren't on a wind up?
So you do believe that votes in UK elections* are for a party? I suggest you've been watching to much US election coverage my friend.

another odd statement to try to hide you being wrongbut you are still wrong
I asked you a question. I understand answering it will mean either you are looking very silly or proving that you are on a wind up.
Still have a go.

hiding a question in with another silly personal attack is unlikely to obtain an answer, oh but you know thatthats why you add these silly little insultsbut you are still wrong
I'm unlikely to get an answer because it is physically impossible for you to answer without looking a plum.
It's the equivalent of me stating tomorrow is the 13th of January and you shouting your wrong, you are twisting.
You are either on a wind up or you simply are unaware of the electoral system in this country. Going by what you've posted in response to ZenMaster it seems to be the latter.
