How many MPs got the majority of the votes in their constituency? Very few, if any I’d wager

Slightly off topic-ish but when Philip died and radios started to play sombre music Absolute played Time of your life by Green Day seemingly completely unaware the title is actually Good Riddance (time of your life). Or maybe they did know…

You don’t even live in this country! The general public apart from a few very vocal bigots are not concerned despite a meaningless poll. But don’t take it from someone with 61 more years of experience of the uk than someone 1000s of miles away. Now about the extremists terrorising the US…
