Labour gaining only 1.6% more votes from 2019 but getting 211 more seats really shows how unserious our electoral system truly is.
Just be happy the system is not as dysfunctional as the Americans.
5 pro-Gaza independents elected, making them the fifth largest group in Parliament.
The sixth one is a Alex Easton in North Down (banger name), Northern Ireland. He's a former member of the DUP so I doubt he'd be popular around here.
Pro-Gaza candidates actually winning seats in a country that can do nothing but give warm words for the conflict. What are they going to do to improve the lives of their actual constituents?
Insanity.
We could stop selling Israel weapons.
We send hardly anything to Israel.
The only country in the world that has any influence is the US.
So it won't be a big deal when we totally stop.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
