The Mayor of Doncaster

[PM-Junkie]

I am, you're the idiot who started with the stupid point scoring when he couldn't hack it and I look like a fool?
You think 11.75% is a mandate?. You're an idiot.

Answer his question. Let's try to make it even more simple for you. If 100% of the electorate vote, and one person gets 11.75% of the vote and the other 88.25% of the vote is spread evenly between say, 10 people, so each gets 8.825% of the vote.....by your "logic" the guy that gets 11.75% of the vote wouldn't have a mandate because more people voted for other candidates.

You are that dumb I am amazed you ever learned to breath.

The fact that you have to dream up these imaginary scenarios instead of discussing what actually happened in this case says it all about your argument.

Well, here I am in Sunny Doncaster. As soon as I got off the plane I got that whiff of good old England, y'know that eau d'backed-up toilet mixed with a hint of stale curry, and thought to myself that I should keep smiling, it's a 'holiday'.

You are clearly a troll. Nobody can be this dumb.

Nobody can be this dumb.

This thread is reinforcing my opinions on pm's and agents.

You couldn't make it up.

Not rising to the bait any more, sorry. As trolls go, you are pretty pathetic.

[Doggy Styles]

If you choose not to vote, then complain at the result, you are too thick to be allowed to vote in the first place.

Yeah, on a piss taking thread, Get a grip

I never said he should be not allowed to do anything I said with a turnout that low you cannot say he has a mandate, that's all.

A low turnout isn't at all uncommon in all UK elections be they Parliamentary, Local, EU or Mayoral, in first past the post (excluding EU and Devolved obviously) systems it's not unusual to get 40% of the vote and be a clear winner when only 40% of the electorate voted. That's 16% of the actual electorate.
It's far from unusual for a Westminster parliamentary government to be elected with a sizable majority with a similar mandate. I certainly don't see the new Mayor of Doncaster as lacking a mandate as he was properly elected under our current fptp excuse for a democracy.
