Loads of rail way stations though, and busses up you shizzle.


Not for the SW area. Check out the expanded TFL map and it's like a desert in comparison to other areas Sad

That tactic has worked out so well for them in the last decade…. Rolling Eyes

Climate Change is the biggest problem this planet faces. What's the solution?

'Good news for London' says Khan, as £12.50 Ulez expansion approved

...tax the poors.

The UK needs a new party that actually cares about the concerns of the ordinary person. Fucking hate all current politicians.

Proportional representation would help. Most people tactical vote to make sure that either red or blue doesn’t the seat in their area. Look at the last general election for example, green party got 10% of the total votes that the cvntservatives did and ended up with 1 seat.

So how does that work in terms of local representation? Say my region doesn’t vote for the Greens but nationally they get 10%, does one of them get parachuted in? Ah, but few candidates have any knowledge of the region they’re pitching for anyway.

My feeling with respect to PR has been that it delivers a luke warm, hamstrung government without a firm set of policies or commitment. Not that Boris’ 80-seat majority was able to…. ah, what’s the point!

Remember that the First Past the Post system is backed up by MSM coverage. Just saying "PR will fix it" only goes part way.

If the BBC, Sky News, etc. won't talk to you you have fuck all chance of being elected.
