That 0.3% is considerably higher than the % who appointed Gordon Brown, to be fair.

Gordon Brown wasn’t the leader of a minority government with a majority of three MP’s.

Can't believe his plan way back in 2016 has actually worked.

Always blows my mind in politics that you can routinely fail and yet still get top jobs.

Technically it was 52% who voted for decline

Unfortunately this is what happens when a government goes unchecked because the leader of the opposition is utterly inept.

They say what happens in the US generally happens here 20 or so years later

Anyone who has ever voted Tory should hang their head in shame as they walk into the sea to die.

Yes it is. Labour back then had won two back to back elections with a majority. This Tory government in the last decade has won without a majority, and the current government is hanging by a thread with a majority of three. And it’s looking like that figure will be going down to two, when the Lib Dem’s win the seat in Wales next week.

Seeing young people my age backing the likes of Boris and Hunt in this election when they’re one of the most inept politicians to step into office honestly makes me ill.

The fvcked up nature of self serving elitists who knowingly voted for a party known to demonstrably sh!t on the poor summed up in one post.

And it was decided by 0.3% of the electorate.

The 'electorate' had a chance to get rid of the Tories at the last election. The 'electorate' effed that up.

What a fackin mess.

And in the opposite corner we have Jeremy Corbyn, these are the politicians that we deserve. People that put the party before it’s country time and time again.

It's not relevant at all. 0.3% of the population elected Boris. 0% of the population elected Brown. You can't label one undemocratic and not the other just to suit your own politics.

The Tories lost their majority at the last election, so you can argue the people did their best to get rid.

The opposition had a golden chance to drive a stake through the Tory party then and effed up too.

This is exactly what I wanted for Scotland. For our future in Europe to be decided by a bunch of pisssed off plumbers in England. And then by some posh old English cants in Surrey. Definitely what's best for Scotland.
