#News Britain plans to lower the voting age to 16: Britain is to reduce its voting age in general elections from 18 to 16, giving the country one of the lowest in the world. The proposed changes are designed to boost participation.#UKElection #UKElection2024 #GE2024 #GeneralElectionUK #UKLabour…
Interesting that 60% of registered electors voted in 2024, but that constitutes under 53% of the voting age population. So more than 1 in 8 adults in the UK are not registered or eligible to vote. #UKElection2024 #UKPolitics www.ippr.org/articles/hal...

Endlich mal ein Wahlausgang, bei dem "normale" Leute mit Vernunft gewinnen.
Auch wenn die Aufgaben unlösbar scheinen, wünsche ich viel Erfolg!

SHORT MONEY FOR OPPOSITION PARTIES (PER YEAR) GENERAL SHORT MONEY FUNDING SET AT: 21438.33 pounds per MP 42.82 pounds per 200 votes GENERAL SHORT MONEY FOR PARTIES WITH 5 OR FEWER MPs Floor 118,085 Ceiling 354,255 TRAVEL FUNDING 235,511.46 total, to be split proportionally in the same proportion as the amounts of general funding
It’s not widely appreciated that numbers of votes and seats directly determines the amount of state funding that opposition parties receive—currently around 20p per vote per year. It’s significantly higher for parties with >5 seats, so #Reform and the Greens just missed out. #UKElection2024

This purge has turned Labour into a mirror image of the Conservatives: obsequious toward big business, advocating austerity at home and militarism abroad. It has also foreshadowed how Mr. Starmer would operate in Downing Street. #UKpoli #ukelection2024 #KierStarmer www.nytimes.com/2024/07/03/o...

Outside Downing Street to see the new Prime Minister enter, and some wags were advertising their services for building new cabinets. #GeneralElection2024 #GE24 #UKElection2024

“Farage is the horror version of Inside Out, where Mendacity is only just holding off Racism at the control console… the idea that this hollow chancer should still be one of the most significant politicians of the age says everything about the age” #UKElection2024 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Nigel Farage from "Reform UK" after the UK July 2014 general election. Farage had just won a seat in the British House of Commons after previously having lost 7 times. This edited still from the linked BBC article's video shows Farage with a face that manages to look both sour & smiling at the same time. Farage is a white man in his 60s with thinning, graying hair & a part on his left side. He's wearing a medium dark blue jacket with a light blue shirt & a red patterned tie. He's also wearing a light blue & white ribbon labeled "Reform UK." He's standing in front of a green & white wall graphic.
Also, Nigel Farage looks like he was weaned on a pickle. 😂 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Impressed by peaceful, speedy turnover of power in the #UKElection2024. Kinda ironic that Britain seems to do #democracy better than its former colonists in the #USA 🤔
My last thoughts on #UKElection2024 then I’ll finally shut up. I’m not actually enthusiastic at all with how things have played out.
Winning 412 seats will give Starmer’s Labour a 180+ working majority. That’s bigger than Blair’s in 1997, and starting from a much lower base, more than doubling its total seats. A stunning achievement. #UKElection2024 www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/live-blog/ge...
