But you can vote her out of Office, and the whole U.K. government. You cannot vote any Brussels Vice President nor the EU controlling group out, your voice and vote is insignificant……

But Pete it's exactly the same in the UK.

Can you vote out the Governor of the Bank of England? The Permanent Secretary to the Cabinet? Or a Supreme Court Judge?

It's one of the great shames of our day that this lie that the EU was somehow more unaccountable than what happens in London was allowed to gain traction.

Actually in the UK it's worse. If you live in an area where one party has a strong majority across both local Council and the parliamentary seat your vote counts for nothing. Nothing. At least with PR it would count for something.
 
Still trying to work out how she’s come to this conclusion
I’m still trying to work out why this worthless bilge, has been given the oxygen of publicity.

Of all the current issues facing the UK and the world in general, someone very senior at the Sunday Telegraph went, “hold the front page, the mad woman has written an essay.”

She has not a shred of credibility and is apparently a longstanding figure of ridicule, even amongst most Tory MPs.

I accept, that the Telegraph is on a journey down the deepest, deranged, right-wing rabbit hole. Now read only by Boer war veterans, retired vice admirals, de-frocked bishops, Pete, Farage, Rees-Mogg and Camilla, but who, what, where, when, how, decided this was credible front page news ?

It’s now given coverage on mainstream media, as if her lunatic hypothesis had a grain of validity to start with, only because it was front on the front page of the Telegraph.

I appreciate that sanity has long been in short supply at Tory Towers, but I just don’t get the thought process and intent, leading to the conclusion, that what we all needed right now, was this utterly deranged drivel.

It’s like Benitez going full Tonto on sky sports, saying that it was the anarcho-syndicalist faction in the Street End that caused his downfall and that his tactics just weren’t given enough time.

The actions of this deranged woman screwed thousands of working people, she should be mocked relentlessly, for the rest of her life.

Instead, she is given a platform to prepare for round 2. Something is very wrong with this country.

A lot to be said for PR - and a lot against it...mainly finding the right system out of so many.
By right system I mean, if you have 1st PtP you tend to end up with a 2 party race, potentially marginalising a large 3rd minority.
If you have the wrong PR system it can swing to far the other way and over empowering tiny groups of wack-jobs.
I'm not sure there is a decent system and if there is the Politicians will find a way to corrupt it, wheel and deal it to death.
