What is the forums' opinion on the upcoming election? (Political Alignment)

[sir dooble]

Who is running?

Umm, there are 650 seats total, each one can have tens of possible nominees.

But, if you're asking for the party leaders then they are as follows for the biggest parties and biggest Nationalist parties;

Conservative (aka Tories) (current co-government) - David Cameron (current Prime Minister)
Labour (Largest opposition party) - Ed Miliband
Liberal Democrats (current co-government, in minor position) - Nick Clegg (current Deputy Prime Minister)
UKIP [United Kingdom Independence Party] - Nigel Farage
Green Party - Natalie Bennet
Scottish Nationalist Party (only has representatives in Scottish constituencies)(current Scottish Parliament Government) - Nicola Sturgeon
Plaid Cymru (only has reps in Welsh constituencies)(currently 3rd largest party in Welsh Assembly, behind Labour(government) and Conservatives) - Leanne Wood

Whichever party gets the majority of seats (326) becomes the Government, and their leader becomes Prime Minister.
If there's a hung parliament (no party gains majority seats) then parties can form coalitions, whereby two parties add together their seats to create the majority. The largest party in the coalition has their leader as Prime Minister, while the next biggest is the Deputy Prime Minister. There can be more than 2 parties in a coalition.

imo we should get rid of the FPTP system so we can get out of this 2 party bullstuff

Yeah, lets just suddenly change the government!

I'll make a change.org petition.

the electoral college is stuff too
representative democracy isn't democracy.

[sir dooble]

the electoral college is stuff too
representative democracy isn't democracy.

The US won't ever have ACTUAL Democracy until EVERY citizen votes on EVERY matter.
That's original democracy, and it's entirely impractical for a country with a population in the millions.

[Epicduke]

I'll make a change.org petition.

uh, was there any implication of sudden change?

Yeah, I'm sure everyone would vote on everything

[SlayerZ99]

yea idk how I feel about the electoral college...

[Kansas]

Hilary is the most qualified hands down

[Kansas]

Hillary Clinton is gonna pull the same stuff Obama did. Nobody's going to like her. I want Jeb Bush.

                                                                                                           

He's been pretty decent but nobody gives him credit


It's not about the party affiliation, it's about their ideals.

This, her past is quite hairy to say but she can pull some changes for the better, at least in the economic department. If someone tries to provoke the us Clinton will go crazy and send every man, jet, ship and nuke to battle.

[Nonnel]

of course not
but maybe the feeling that your vote would actually mean something would push more people to want to

She's pretty good at negotiation im pretty sure war mongering in our day isnt on her agenda

of course not
but maybe the feeling that your vote would actually mean something would push more people to want to

If nobody voted we'd default to another Bush. Your vote does matter. Vote good senators if you want a good president.

In your opinion, which candidate may win?

[Nomel]

well what do you guys think about the overwhelming tide of inevitability that hillary clinton will be elected as president

Nope
Half of her support is astroturf, also she's a corrupt stuff who's going to lose votes when the ads start running and people start digging up more stuff about her

Also rand Paul said he'd try to limit senator terms which is impossible due to the nature of self centeredness in politicians but it's the thought that counts

[Foxscotch]

well I definitely don't want it to be a christian republican dude
