I count 306 seats where Labour are 1st and the Conservatives 2nd, or Conservatives 1st and Labour 2nd.

In the other 326 seats, either the Lib Dems, Reform, Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru or independents are a top two party. Where most voters live, the traditional Labour vs Conservative debate is no longer the relevant one.

    Hahah, that is… well, terrifying.

    While I don’t believe in disenfranchising people, how do you deal with the voters who are literally too dumb to understand the process…?

      I had to deal with a lady at work a few days back who couldn’t understand how a very basic loyalty scheme worked and accused our company of being misleading. I so wanted to tell her that she was literally the only customer I’ve ever spoken to who couldn’t grasp such a simple concept.

      Some people really are dumb. It’s a miracle that they’ve made it so far in life without accidentally killing themselves or something.

        I think it really depends on which loyalty scheme you’re referring to. I was in Tesco today and the club card pricing is highly visible, in comparison to the actual pricing. It felt pretty misleading when I got to the checkout
