Twelve Parties Win At Least One Seat in British House of Commons

The United Kingdom held a House of Commons election on July 4. This wikipedia article shows that 12 parties won at least one seat. Scroll down quite a ways. One seat is still not decided as of Friday morning.

The English-Welsh Green Party won four seats, up from just one. The only reason this blog post singles out the Green Party is that there is an equivalent party in the United States.

British ballot access is equal and lenient. Candidates for House of Commons get on the ballot with 500 pounds and ten signatures. Great Britain does not suffer from crowded ballots. The typical district has fewer than eight candidates on the ballot.

  3. Also of note, the British Commons district has about 100K constituents. Ditto for Canada’s Commons. The German Bundesrat? About 125K. France’s National Assembly? About 110K. US Congress? About 800K. Not so representative.

    Re the election, Richard failed to note one other important issue.

    That’s the utter implosion of the Scottish Nationalist Party. A second matter of note is the surge of the Lib Dems. Yesterday’s exit polls projected 60 or so, which itself would have been huge, but 71 is incredible. The Tories will be the official opposition, but will be looking over their shoulder a small bit.

    Contra Steve, while Wiki is not reliable on everything, it’s reliable and detailed on national elections throughout the world.

  4. “That’s the utter implosion of the Scottish Nationalist Party. A second matter of note is the surge of the Lib Dems.”

    Both of these can be attributed to the shift of votes from the Conservatives to Labour. In Scotland, that shift collapsed the SNP, as Labour regained some of their old seats there. In England, the same shift from Conservative to Labour gave the LDs some new seats where the Conservatives collapsed.

  5. VOTES MATH ALMOST DONE IN WIKI

    COMMIE LABOUR MINORITY RULE


    HOW MANY GERRYMANDER DISTRICT WINNERS GOT 50 PCT PLUS ??? — ALL TIME LOW ???

  6. Liberal Democrats made huge gains. 11 to 71. With conservatives down to 121, perhaps it can be described as a 3 party system.

  7. I look on the map, and it looking like all of Puerto Rico is owned by USA. Maybe very small part by the Britain and the France?

  8. Are they also present and strong in parts of the Puerto Rico controlled by the Britain and the France?

  9. Walter, I think that’s part of the answer but not all of it. Also of note is that UK voting turnout was the lowest since Blair’s first election. And, per what I said about the much smaller constituencies, a lot of things can flip individual seats. SNP voters may have not turned out as much as in past elections, essentially shrugging their shoulders over the Labour landslide and the loss of leverage it would mean for their party.

    Also of note: The Lib Dems are the same as Tories and Der Starmer on Gaza-Israel and Ukraine-Russia. That also may have suppressed turnout.

  10. Oh, per my previous post and other comments? Wiki’s accurate indeed about the results. But the claim that Corbynite Labour was a hotbed of antisemitism? That is, of course a slur based on conflating antisemitism and anti-Zionism. It should be noted that Wiki’s owner and founder Jimmy Wales himself, who has a house in the London area as well as, I presume, the US, was himself part of the slurfest. https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2019/12/jimmy-wales-zionist-backing-corbyn.html

  11. Nuna is very nippy and wants to bite alot and will hiss like a cat too while trying to nip a you, but when she was at the store she wasn’t. Its very odd. She was so sweet and loving. I don’t know why she is being so aggressive.

  12. Who is Stock? I am Habibi!
