Green Party Wins Majority on a British District Council — 18 Comments

  1. MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDERS IN ENGLAND/UK SINCE LATE 1200S.

    UK GERRYMANDER IN HC [WITH MANY HC REP GERRYMANDER DISTS CONTROLLED BY KG III AND HACK LORDS IN HL]

    — ADDED FACTOR IN USA AM REV WAR IN 1775-1784.

    BUT THEN — NONSTOP GERRYMANDERS IN NEW USA STATES AND LATER NEW USA REGIME.

    NO P.R UNTIL 1820S-1840S — TOO LATE — GERRYMANDER HACKS ENTRENCHED IN USA.

    —-
    P-A-T IN ALL REGIMES

  2. USA ROT AND MANY STATES ROT DIRECTLY TO SOP VIOLATIONS — CARRIED OVER FROM BRIT ROT IN 1776.

    USA –
    PREZ VETO / PARDON POWERS – IE WITH EXEC POWER = 3/3 TYRANT
    H REPS – IMPEACH POWER
    SENATE – TRY IMPEACHMENTS POWER — HR/S – JUDGE OF ELECTIONS

    ADDED USA EXEC ROT-
    NO ELECTION OF NONPARTISAN USA MARSHALS AND DAS

    ADDED USA JUDIC ROT-
    NO ELECTION OF NONPARTISAN JUDGES

    SAME ADDED L/E/J ROT IN MANY STATES.

    RESULT- WORSE AND WORSE TYRANT PREZS/GOVS/MAYORS SINCE 1929.

    MEDIA = BRAIN DEAD MORON STUPID ABOUT THE SOP ROT.

  3. You’re wrong. The complexity of government and laws, vast scale of state and federal government’s, rent seeking by bureaucrats and crony capitalists, lenient treatment of criminals, vote stealing, manipulated public opinion, population replacement – it all adds up to an ever growing tyrannical mess, with plenty of fingers pointed as to who is to blame. That’s the precise reason tyranny grows.

  4. THE SOP ROT COMPOUNDS THE MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDER ROT —

    VAGUE MINORITY RULE LAWS WITH EXEC REGS — EXEC HACKS HAVING LEGIS AND JUDIC POWERS — AKA TYRANT *ADMINISTRATIVE* STATE.

    PARTY HACK JUDGES IN COURTS LET THE COMPOUNDING ROT GET WORSE AND WORSE.

    MAJOR ROT IN USA REGIME STARTED WITH USA INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMM AND SHERMAN ACT BOTH CIRCA 1890.

  5. Allegiance should be to the law. The law should be simple to memorize and understand.

  6. Curious, the results show Labour has no seats. Is this typical for this council or did Labour voters back Green candidates? How many of the winning candidates (of any party) actually got a majority of the votes in their respective districts as opposed to a plurality?

  7. Labor only ran 8 candidates out of 30 seats. It appears 4 greens, 2 conservatives, and 1 liberal democrat won with a plurality, the rest were majority winners.

  8. “Labor only ran 8 candidates out of 30 seats. It appears 4 greens, 2 conservatives, and 1 liberal democrat won with a plurality, the rest were majority winners.”

    A total wipe-out for Labour.

  9. Correction to my comment: I said “Labor” should be “Labour” (that was autocorrect). Also I said out of 30 seats, it should be out of 34 seats.

  10. Neither France 1789 nor colonies which became the US are applicable to the UK today. The British monarchy is now mostly ceremonial, not absolute like France prior to the revolution. And there’s no sense in which Britain is a colony, unless you stretch definitions to include the ongoing brexit.
