My God what a fucking incredible parade of Patriots I never knew existed in this world. So fucking insightful and knowledgeable about how their rights have been trampled. So fucking proud of America right now. #FANTASTICPEOPLE

I bet this is going p3n in your country too. It probably why there were 2 Brexit votes but they couldn't cheat enough without making it obvious like it was here.

There was not 2 Brexit votes. There was one referendum. However due to swamp creatures in parliament taking advantage of a very weak government (thanks to Teresa May being unbelievably stupid) to block any attempt to negotiate seriously, we had to wait until a general election to give a large Majority in the house. Which we did. Brexit then went though pretty much immediately as a huge number of swamp rats lost their seats.

It's all about numbers, just like in the Senate. You gotta have a decent majority to outvote the leftists.

Our elections are pretty secure as we use paper ballots and proper oversight, like independent observers literally standing over the counters.

No probs, there are many intricacies to the American political system that I am sure I am wrong about lol

I do understand the confusion with our politics. We did have a EU membership referendum followed by a Snap General Election (Teresa May fucking up royally there), then a EU election (we were still members at the time so had a vote which we used to absolutely hammer them, giving Nigel et al lots of seats) followed by May resigning and Boris triggering another General Election, in which we gave him a massive majority to get Brexit finished.

A lot of Tory MPs are furious with Boris's Covid hysteria and are outright rebelling so I wouldn't rule out another election in the near future lol.
