It's around 24% of registered voters.

There has for a long team been a growing movement seeking electoral reform. I think the thing that has brought it into the spotlight in this particular election is the SNP and UKIP / Green vote. It gives an easily understandable example of the problem with FPTP.

Great stuff, isn't that Deano's youtube channel?

This protest was, or at least started out, as a protest for electoral reform on the basis that less than 25% of the population voted for those who are now in power. As with many things a handful of idiots have taken the focus off the main message.

Was going to say the same Tony, this thread is shaping up just like the one last season and we all know how that turned out. That said I'm not sure a move to Liverpool is best for him now, can't see him getting regular first team football. If he is that good stay at Bournemouth, or move to a...

Clearly if you're talking about US sports franchises you have to accept there is a risk they will move. Although it does tend to be failed expansion teams that move rather than those that have been established for many year. I imagine there would be uproar if they tried to move the Yankees from...

Players that are consistent and don't make mistakes aren't going to be signing for teams in L1. The bigger issue is how often they are making mistakes and do they learn from them.

So what you're seeking to confirm is that Wasps have well and truly ripped off the Council and Higgs Trust. Would have thought that would be the sort of thing you wouldn't want to draw attention to.

Should move Jimmy to the city centre or a spot that has some CCFC significance. If we do ever get a new ground it can always be moved again. The memorial garden, and the bricks for that matter, are trickier to move as you need to find somewhere the relatives would deem acceptable. I like how...

Didn't take long, look like its all kicking off around Westminster. Wasn't it Clegg who said before the previous general election 'if the tories win there will be riots on the streets'? He was right then and it looks like we might be getting more of the same. In other news UKIP supporters are...

If Scotland does anything like it has done in this election its not going to be easy for Labour to get back in. There's always been a north south divide in voting and now the north part of the divide has essentially been split in two.

We've had big crowds and we managed to do it without the ground being two thirds full of away fans.

I think the biggest stumbling block is people are tied to the idea of having their own MP. That's despite most people probably never having anything to do with them in their lifetime.

Is that the chap who's childhood dream was to play at the Ricoh despite it not existing when he was a child who then announced he was leaving Wasps?

I thought we had a general TV thread but I can't find it so apologies if I've created a duplicate. Renewals time is here for the US networks. The Following has been cancelled, quite liked that personally even if it was a massive 24 rip off. Just hoping they wrap things up at the end of the...

Probably about a mile away. Occasionally go in the Florence when I'm out walking the dog (that's not a euphemism!).

Its all to do with swing! Its easier to understand if you imagine it as just Con v Lab. Lets say there's 100 seats, to get a majority you need 51. Now say in the last election Con had 55 and Lab 45. Lab need to gain 6 seats to win. They will look for the 6 seats where Con had the smallest...

If Google Maps is to be believed (is that like Wiki and anyone can change things?) the station will be Coventry Arena

Don't mean to single you out but why are people now regularly posting this as fact?
