  1. Rest assured, you still have a de facto duocracy instead of a true multi-party democracy. Either Labour or the Conservatives have dominated each and every cabinet for the last hundred years or so. Between 2017 and 2019, you had your tiny portion of DUP, allowing Theresa May to form a minority government. Now there's yet again a one-party "majority" cabinet after Labour secured 34% of the popular vote, nearly a 10% drop from Boris Johnson's earlier score. I wonder if The Economist is going to downgrade you in their Democracy Index. FPTP is so over.

  2.  @jaketaylor3901  Prior to the fateful Brexit referendum, the UK was the fastest growing EU economy. Then it all went pear-shaped.

  3. It took Brexit to get Farage first-past-the-post. That's a steep price for getting a narcissistic one-trick pony into the House of Commons.
