Brydo, I really enjoy debating with you so please don’t take any of my posts wrong way, I am not a Tory and do not live in any political party’s ‘bubble’, nor , as I have said previously, am I a particular fan of BoJo, but I do admit ( proudly) to a lean to starboard, and also as stated previously, would never ever and I really mean never ever vote Labour- no sir, I am just a realist?
The fact is , as confirmed by the expert pollster John Curtice (?spelling) that the Brecon result is in fact a triumph for BoJo, albeit only in terms of increasing the vote from ‘rock bottom’ to almost a win, in just a week or so of being elected, which if transferred to a General Election would invariably wipe out the opposition, and don’t forget, that there was an election pact between the Libs , Plaid, and that lonely Green Party voter to go against the Tories.
Also , less than half of the country ie, a clear minority voted to remain, whereas more than half of the country , therefore a clear majority voted to leave,
Ie 48-52% which Remainers find unacceptable, yet funnily enough, find 43.5 to 39% in Brecon perfectly acceptable , cause their side won , only in the U.K. eh?
As far as Scotland not getting the Government it voted for, ie a Labour Government, well it certainly had its own way in 14 General Elections , where Scotland voted for the party which formed a Government, and only in six did Scotland vote Labour yet get a Conservative Government
