Not easily! So far it's around 0.7% if we use votes cast over membership. Of course, we have no way of knowing if the membership is active, eligible etc. Several SBT members on here are clearly insane although this probably doesn't bar them from voting or indeed running for office.How are we going to gauge turnout???
How anyone can vote for that clown Corbyn is beyond me, mind you Boris isn’t much better. The Labour Party is just about summed up by that fool Dianne Abbott, it’s like she deliberately trips herself up every time she’s interviewed. The whole lot are a joke at the minute, and it’s going to be a case of picking the best of a bad bunch. One things for sure I will not be voting for Corbyn, if he gets in to power this country will crumble.
Spot on, Corbyn would finish this country...
By that reckoning a vote for Alexander is a vote to become the 51st state of America. He is American after all
His name is Boris Johnson, is this Alexander thing an attempt at being funny?
..I'd go and live in Iran.Spot on, Corbyn would finish this country...

No, what he is really saying is 'When Corbyn got into power. I ran.'Course you would mate....
Not traitor Corbyn is it?
Not traitor Corbyn is it?
So that's not Corbyn then?Any c*nt can wear a poppy can’t they...
I bet that was through gritted teeth the racist.

Latest poll has Labour over 30% for the first time since May. 7% gap to the Tories.
It doesn't really mean anything though, and I don't mean that anti-Labour either as it still would be meaningless if the Conservatives were polling 45%. In our first past the post system you could gain a majority on a much smaller figure, it's all about where those votes are and you could poll a huge slice without winning any seats at all.
The Lib Dems idea of yesteryear for proportional representation was ideal. It would likely mean more hung parliaments, but every vote counts wherever you are then. As a Brexit supporter, there is no way I'd vote for them as it could put the local Labour MP back in power, but I'm sure some will and we'll be stuck with a remain MP in W&L again. I have no choice but to vote Conservative to achieve what I want and that's disappointing.
Yup. It's a big worry that the domestic policies of this country will, potentially, be completely at odds with the views of the country because of one issue (and that includes if Labour win, too).I’m not saying it does but big leads usually translate to big majorities by seat. But your point shows the wider problem of a referendum by proxy when we could’ve had one outright.

Agree - they're possibly only fringe parties because it's a wasted vote. It would be interesting to see how many votes a party got if every vote counted.That's why I want HoL to be PV based on vote %. Still get to keep constituency MP's but you can know your vote will count so less need to think about tactical voting, plus the HoL is no longer just a massively expensive ancient body just signing things through - it could legitimately block bills as it would be democratically elected. Downside is it would likely give some of the fringe nutters on both sides more of a say, but it would represent the country and act as a warning flag if extremist parties started getting too many seats.
It's a change I think could really shake up politics in this country.
Is boris a racist then?You are an absolute parody.
Meanwhile I bet you vote for an actual racist. The irony.
He’s officially a racist. Something even Ferage hasn’t managed to pull off.Is boris a racist then?
Will be voting for the Conservatives. They're the only option for me again.
