A British Electoral Tragedy
I am not English, but I am going to presume on my having been a research student at Cambridge to make my opinion known about the upcoming general election there.
It is an absolutely abysmal act of political malfeasance that, given that the Tories have pushed Britain to the brink of complete political and economic collapse, that the left could not find a better candidate to run against them than the utterly useless Jeremy Corbyn. Britain and the world are going to pay a massive price for this act of partisan irresponsibility.
Well, that's my feeling anyway. I don't think I need say any more.

Corbyn is a fool (though the Labour party as a whole is pretty good), Johnson is a Trumpish monster, Swinson is a chancer who'll do anything for power (though, again, the LibDem manifesto itself is pretty good).
The difficulty we have is the same problem there is in the States - the voting districts are set up so that the number of votes for a party don't match up with the actual number of MPs elected. Basically the UK version of gerrymandering.
And remain people are idiots, who will stick with voting for their party even when they have no chance of being elected, thus splitting the vote and letting the Tories in to finish gutting the country.
