Sadly "influence ', 'persuasion' and 'interference' are so problematic in western politics there are very serious concerns about what we routinely call democracy. Some countries call it corruption. The Island have adopted these 7 principles for everyone who works in any shape or form for Government as far as I know, but sometimes I am not sure it gets policed enough.

John Wright Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It depends what you mean by and how you calculate proportion. Of voters who voted? Of votes cast?. Everyone had two votes. Not everyone will have used both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderdome Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Turnout rate for middle was 52%... so surely that means only 52% of the eligible voters in that constituency actually voted and Howard got 30% within the people that voted... but it sounds by the context of the video that it’s referring to the fact that it was only technically 13% of the entire voting population actually voted him in? That was my thought train when the stats were coming up but might be wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the 14% is derived from the fact that there are 8890 potential votes and he only got 1205. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
