    Just wait for the inevitable collapse of civilisation in the wake of Brexit and Trump, then install yourself as dictator for life of a small fiefdom among the scattered, squabbling tribes of survivors. Sorted

      But apparently the people like that sort of thing and will vote for it.

        In this instance they should as it wasn't on a constituency basis. All other times they shouldn't.

        Of course they need to protect their asses.

          Dig out the 2015 GE results for your area and vote for either the 2nd or 3rd party.

          If there is a by-election definitely vote for the second party as a protest vote.

            Better still OP, join the LibDems. Then you could get a taste of real politics. In this case, delivering a few leaflets knowing full well they will instantly become landfill, waking up the morning after an election sobbing into your cornflakes, and criticising the electorate for being morons who don't know what's good for them. Repeat every 5 years for life. Simples.

              Then stand for local councillor and get elected.

              You are only elected because after 10 years delivering leaflets bi-monthly the people who bother voting in local elections recognise your mugshot in the local press and how polite you were when they said "Oh not you again".

              Well it worked for a few of my local LibDem councillors over the years....

                I doubt May would feel particularly troubled if MPs voted per their constituency's results in the EU referendum.

                Analysis shows that if the EU referendum was counted per constituency and the result on a First Past The Post system, Leave would have won by 421, compared to 229 for Remain.

                  I'm a left leaning teapot. Labour don't stand a chance round teapot towers, so I've generally gone with LibDems. But that Farron chappie is such a snotty wet drip he does the party no favours. I get that people are upset about Brexit, but he needs to get over himself.
