Reform
4 million votes
4 seats

Liberal Democrats
3.4 million votes
71 seats

Reform came second in 98 seats.

If you ever needed an argument that our system needs overhauling, this is it. Millions of our people have no representation. I’ve always argued that the system is set up in order to leave us ineffective and that simply playing the establishment’s election game while expecting to make major change isn’t going to work. Nationalists have to think in more revolutionary ways. The stuffy, old, boring methods are finished.

Anyway, bye bye Tories 👋🏻
Hello Labour …now is the time for real nationalism to rise

What can we take away from yesterday’s elections?

- Labour win, but don’t have the number of seats many thought (including myself)
- Conservatives win more than people thought and survive as the opposition
- Reform do very well in terms of share of the vote but that isn’t reflected in the number of seats they gain
- Farage himself finally gets elected – this is a major breakthrough
- Galloway loses his seat
- The SNP were crushed in Scotland
- The Lib Dems made major gains

The take away from all this is sadly the Conservatives have survived as the opposition and remain a major parliamentary party. The flaws in the voting system have also been exposed, as Reform (at time of writing) have taken more votes (14% national share) than the Lib Dems (12% national share), yet the Lib Dems have 64 seats, as opposed to Reform’s four.

Conclusion: Britain’s parliamentary democracy and first past the post system of voting are completely broken producing minority governments and denying millions of people any representation. But I believe that is by design.

The two biggest observations from this election are as follows:

1. Labour has a huge majority - one of the largest post war parliamentary majorities on record, yet only 33.8 per cent of people voted for them.

2. Reform took 14.3 per cent of the vote, taking four seats, the Liberal Democrats took 12.2 per cent of the vote and took 71 seats.

The conclusion is obvious: first past the post voting and the current 'parliamentary democracy' we have here in the UK is totally broken and produces results that are not representative of views of the population.

I explained this all in great detail (and how it occurs with real world examples) in a long form stream about a month ago. It's linked below.

Taking all of this into account, it's clear to anyone that electoral success at parliamentary level for nationalists is unlikely to the say the least. Nationalists must find ways to come together and advocate for our collective rights without relying on a broken electoral system for change.

Is the Electoral Route a Dead End?
https://odysee.com/@MarkCollett:6/Is-the-Electoral-Route-a-Dead-End:5

Turnout in this election is estimated to be around 60 percent - the second lowest in 140 years. The only election with lower turnout since 1885 was in 2001, and only just (59%).

Despite this being the Conservatives' worst ever electoral performance, Labour - the winning party - gained barely one third (33.9%) of that 60 percent turnout.

Again: It's the worst election in the Tories history, and yet despite that, and despite winning by a landslide, the other big party only got a third of the votes.

That tells you how little enthusiasm there is for what either of the two biggest parties are offering - or at least, what the electorate believe they would deliver once in power. And of course, millions upon millions of the votes for both of those parties were cast not because the voters in question have any faith or affinity whatsoever with the party they're very reluctantly voting for, but because they think the other party would be even worse.

Meanwhile, the Lib Dems win 71 seats and counting with 12.3 percent of the vote, while Reform win 14.3 percent of the vote and are rewarded with just four seats. Or to put it another way, a party gaining 33.9 percent of the vote wins by landslide with 410 seats and counting, while a party that isn't far off half of that vote share gets only four seats. That shows how ridiculous and unrepresentative the British electoral system is.

The whole thing is totally illegitimate.

New from Angelo Plume/Pox Populi:

Friends and followers, I'm excited to present to you The New Nationalism Podcast. It has been months in the making, and I think it will be unlike anything you've heard from the Nationalist Right. This is not your ordinary podcast. This is more like an episodic series of conversations and stories, each one focused on a theme, presented as an intellectual journey. It's a back-to-basics, Nationalism 101 course that has been made with the ''normie'' in mind. What would it be like if there were a single destination where a newborn nationalist could find answers to all his doubts and questions? More importantly, this project presents a truly nationalist vision for the future, from the minds of some of our movement's most esteemed and passionate voices.
