In the context of the two horse race that is the presidential race of course I am content with Trump.

Read in another thread where you wrote you hate muslims coming here etc., so everything makes sense now.

Herself asked me how their electoral system worked last night - I had to look it up. It's mad.

If only one single person turned up to vote in Florida, and their vote would effectively be worth more than a couple of million in another state.

No matter which way the result goes, that's bonkers.

The same thing can happen in the UK though. UKIP had 3 million people voting for them in 2015, but have 0 MPs. The SNP had 1,400,000 voters and are the third largest party in the Parliament. The Lib Dems had a million more voters than the SNP but only 8 seats.

In a true democracy one vote should carry the same weight as another vote. Otherwise, people are "persuaded" to not bother voting. Why should I vote in a seat where the MP will win with a majority of 25,000 but that MP represents a party that will have only 4 MPs?

No no no read it again ya ****ing belter.

I said I don't like Muslims coming here and telling us what to do, telling us how to live our lives like they live there's back in their homelands. On the flip side I hate western armies forcing regime change on Muslim countries I also dislike FIFA telling Qatar to sell alcohol on the streets at games during the 2022 World Cup.

Around 60 million people voted for each candidate. The difference is that 30 states voted for Trump vs 20 states for Clinton.

In fairness, how is it fair that, say, 40 million people in California decide what is right for, say, 500,000 people living in Montana? This has been reflected in the voting (i.e. a state majority).

Every electoral system has its flaws.Trump won under the US system. It appears to have been a valid victory so he will become President. That's life. Time to move on.

Actually today it's 11/11 for Americans and us too, a strange quirk of astronomy that won't occur again for 174 years.
