The right wing & their media hate Vorderman, which is recommendation enough to listen to what she has to say.
They tried to silence Gary Lineker too when he criticised their migrants policy.Tories trying to silence free speech,something we fought for and must never allow them to do.
Exactly 💯👍
@@DerekHarrison-ue9vvbecause they didn't have to fight for it actually they were more on the other side Mosley for one and the royalty for 2.😂
@kendiamond8722 So Winston Churchill was in bed with Mosley ya clown,I know Mosley was a tory mp,but latterly he was also a Labour mp so what does that mean ? your guess is as good as mine,think you've been watching to much peaky blinders.
@@DerekHarrison-ue9vv When did they try to silence free speech ? i must have missed that.
I live on the isle of Wight where tory voters come to retire. My vote is thrown away EVERY ELECTION because the incoming retired outnumber everyone else. I am sick of non representation. PR is the future us voters need. MP's don't want it, all the more reason to have it!
GET THE TORIES OUT NOW!
Another advantage is that PR would improve the standard of candidates for all parties..
@@Notalloldpeople I love Carol Vorderman. She should be PM 👍
How do you get it? Be serious. It won’t happen in our life times
PR be careful what you wish for because you might get something totally unexpected
At least you're getting two MPs on the island next time. You never know, one of the constituencies might not go blue.
I love Carol, she is doing everything she can to get rid of these bastard tories at much personal cost to herself. She deserves all our support. Legend.
@simon1066 Yeah ! well done Carol - after helping to originally put the Tories in power quite a while - ago ?.
@@chatham43 wow, a big hardman Tory eh? boyo
@@tenniskinsella7768yeah, but in your opinion, Boris Johnson was a good choice, which sort of negates your opinion entirely.
@@tenniskinsella7768what about the facts regarding corruption is that an opinion!
I think it's unfair to bully Shaun bailey. I hate the Tories however he is a person of colour and does believe in what he says.
We've been voting tactically in Scotland for decades, it's not rocket science.
How is that working out for you?
@@DS-um9hinot too bad actually.
@@lynnezabek I mean you're keeping the Tories out which is one thing you're doing better than 'us' haha!
It's hardly a new idea here down south of the border bonny lad, why it's almost as if the political landscape was so muddied & nuanced that even years of tactical voting hasn't helped. Realising that isn't rocket science either.
I moved to Scotland nearly 20yrs ago, and for years I didn't voted, I just watched and learn the difference between Scotland and England and looked into each political party.
I then decided to support SNP, however, since 2016 I haven't voted. The last time I voted was for the Scottish referendum and this dumbasses voted to stay in the UK despite knowing that they will be ripped out of the EU by the English a few years later.
I, as an immigrant could see that!
Then, of course coming from an EU country, I, despite paying my taxes, being forced to do jury duty - what I despise, wasn't allowed to vote in the EU referendum.
Looking how things progress and considering right now I'm lucky working on a 18 month project where I get paid very well, 2025 is pretty much the definite year I will leave the UK.
She's right about Belarus. I said the exact same to a friend a few weeks ago and they reacted like I'd just slapped them.
A few years back I told a friend, an older gentleman, that the tories were embezzling money from public companies. He acted like I'd insulted his dead mother & stormed out of the pub. There was a similar incident with the same guy in the same pub at around that time regarding his very pro Brexit views.
A few years down the road, tories have been caught with their hands in the till & it's becoming increasingly clear that Brexit is a dead parrot.
I don't understand why it has to be a perceived authority figure making these claims before people will listen. All you've got to do is look at the evidence & connect the dots, but I suppose then they'd have to admit they were wrong. About all sorts of things. Something about celebrity status seems to shock some people out of their echo chambers & start to listen I guess.
Incredible fact that. World beating uk there again.😂
I can't praise Carol Vorderman enough for all that she's doing highlighting the injustices facing this country. She's becoming embolden in spite of the attempted character assassinations by the right wing and Conservatives and really cutting across to members of the electorate who would not normally be too involved in politics. Always a pleasure to see you featured, especially your conversations with James O'Brien.
@seanmaguire8250.When a CELEBRITY criticises the Tories, they and their supporters turn on them, telling them to stick to what they do,as if they’re not entitled to an opinion.YET we all vote, whether we’re in the public eye or not.The Tories are trying to curb free speech and protesting in the streets, and this must never be allowed to happen as we fought for this and fought AGAINST nations that wouldn’t ALLOW those freedoms.
@@DerekHarrison-ue9vv The tories have already taken away a lot of our freedom and hopes for the future. We need a massive fundamental change in our society, but it won't even begin while we have the tories in office.
@@DerekHarrison-ue9vv There's media censorship when it comes to racist murders of white people.
She’s lovely. They attack her looks as that’s all they’ve got. Rotters
@@pifflepockle Heard all her socialist claptrap back in the grim 70's, disaster then, disaster now.
I have a lot of respect for Carol vorderman she is one of a very few celebrities that actually gives a s*** about the people and not just themselves......
Thank you, Carol Vorderman. Very well said indeed. Respect.❤
PROPORTONAL REPRESENTATION is the way forward
Well done you are correct get the lying thieves out.
Carol is such a breath of fresh air. I have been saying it for years, electoral reform should be our highest priority. It would engage people in politics and put an end to the pantomime that we currently have.
Agreed.I’d love to see the likes of Carol Vorderman and Mick Lynch in the Labour Party, fighting against the Tories. I Was saddened and shocked by Keir Starmer crediting Margaret Thatcher as a leader who effected ‘MEANINGFUL CHANGE’ in the Sunday Telegraph.Has that IDIOT forgotten the damage she caused to industrial communities such as mining communities? These sort of comments are why there are people who won’t vote Labour because the believe Starmer is ‘TORY LITE’! Your trying to garner votes as an opposition leader, and you come out PRAISING THATCHER! UNBELIEVABLE!!!😾
@yorkshirelad 1050 If you look into how electoral reform is doing in the countries that use it you will be surprised how badly they use it . Dozens of different parties fighting like two cats in a bag for weeks & sometimes months ,trying to get
laws through their books ,can you imagine that here ,our politics are bad enough without all the pain involved in that mess ?. And as for Vorderman - she was a rabid Tory ,until she thought the Labour party would put her on a clearer track to a Damehood or a bigger part in Labour"s day to day affairs - like Lineker just another attention seeker after a career
downturn ?. Only the B.B.C. is keeping Lineker relevant ,but a big wage doesn"t always relate to a big i q ...........
@@yorkiegilly4355Given that much of Europe is doing better than the UK in so many ways I'd be more than happy to swap our system for their's.
@@yorkiegilly4355so we should let a minority-elected government act as a dictatorship by giving them an 80 seat majority from a minority (43.6%) vote. Bring on the debates and what you call fighting. The buggers can argue until they find a sensible solution and in the meantime will do less damage. FPTP is simply undemocratic because not all votes are equal.
@@davidmcculloch8490 Exactly , in so many seats a vote for any other party other than the incumbent is wasted. If I needed any other reason to support PR it was when the tories scrapped the election of Mayors and Police and Crime Commissioners from being under an AV system to back under FPTP . there is only one reason they have done this and that is because there are generally ( Reform aside ) two or three different parties of the centre and left fighting each other for many of the same voters where as the tories by and large have the right wing vote sown up . The biggest fear I have is over the vote for Mayor of London , a predominantly left leaning , progressive city . The voters from centre and left have a choice between Sadiq Khan for Labour , the Greens and Lib Dems . If George Galloway and or Jeremy Corbyn stand as left wing independents it complicates matters further and could see the diabolical Tory Candidate Susan Hall win with as little as 30% of the vote .
Interestingly the same people telling her to "stay out of politics" are the same people who claim to support free speech.
Well said Carol vorderman 👏 👏👏💯
We don't just want a change. We want an IMPROVEMENT.
I was first able to vote in 1979, and have voted in every GE since. In my life I’ve moved around a lot, and in every GE I’ve found myself in a “safe seat” one way or the other. Therefore, not once has my vote actually mattered. Not once. And the same for the majority of people in this country, while the decision on the future of the country is determined by a couple of hundred thousand people who happen to live in “swing seats”, rather than the millions who don’t. That doesn’t sound like a functional democracy to me.
@chatham43 The tories, never. However PR is wider labour part policy, though Starmer remains reluctant, for now at least.
@@Cam-mo7gqwhy would Labour implement or when they've gained from fptp as much as the Tories?
@@skyblazeeternobecause they haven’t. Since the inception on the Labour Party around 120 years ago they have only spent about 30 in power.
@@jimporterthere was actually a point where FPTP favoured labour more. I was reading about it a while back. Based on the demographics and the layout of seats. But yeah overall it doesn't benefit them because the electorate are actually consistently majority left of the Tories but those votes are split between labour and lib Dems. The proper loony Tories don't have another right wing party to vote for so they win more often.
Great Choice ! ❤
It is a great shame that we are reduced to tactical voting.
Carol is definitely a pure legend great woman
Nice *rse too👍
A worthy hero of the week so good to see that Carol does'nt let the right wing hate mongers get her down and comes back stronger.
@@chatham43let's hope nobody puts her near a naked flame, plastic melts pretty quickly.
@@chatham43They don't have the support of the MSM.
Weak whataboutism, you can do better than that.
Carols about the only celebrity with a voice whos using her platform to attack the criminally insane torys ! Thanks carol 😊
Joe lycett is doing a not bad job as well
Well done Carol. You could just live a comfortable life and not give a damn, but you care. Love and hugs x
Way to Go Carol!!!😊
Yes Agreed Hero of the Week
Good on you Carol! 👏👏👏
She is an unlikely politucal champion, but she is absolutely spot on! I want my vote to count so proportional representation is the only way for everyone's vote to count. Good on you Carol, such a shame that you left BBC Radio Wales because the BBC wanted to stop you giving your opinion.
@mikehamilton 9128 Quite a few posters are championing P.R. voting ,but not quite sure why - some are probably responding to anti far right parties and dumping the present government ,but don"t seem to realise that with P.R. you
would have to deal with parties like the B.N.P. and probably worse ,as the right wing parties now gaining speed & power
on the European mainland could join with the extreme right wing - here in the U.K. and really would scare the Lefties ! .
@@yorkiegilly4355If european far-right wingers came into UK politics they'd have to go full crazy to reach the current heights set by the Tory Govt.
@@yorkiegilly4355 so, you want PR, as long as you can still bias it against the parties you dont like such as the BNP and keep them out?
Sounds like you dont want PR.
Those of us that do accept there are some awful parties and views out there, but in a fair democracy they also get a say and proportional representation.
@@FortescueGimlet yours clearly is irrelevant.
@@FortescueGimlet On the contrary.....her opinion is completely relevant and, imo, quite correct.
Fantastic Carol Vorderman 🙌🙌🙌
She’s so eloquent, I always have supported Proportional Representation, we need greater Public Systems for greater equality for all 🤗🕯️
I live in The Netherlands and we have proportional representation, and I can tell you that PR isn’t utopia, although preferable to FPTP. We just voted in the national elections and we had 26 parties to choose from. The ballot paper is bigger than the ballot booth, unfolding and folding back the ballot paper takes more time than filling the box in front of the right candidate with the red pencil. We elected 15 parties in the Second Chamber of parliament. Forming a coalition government is a lengthy process because of that. I think a mix of both systems is a better system.
@@RealConstructorI wish our political complaints could be as small as "It takes too long"
That system is something you're taking for granted. Don't.
@@RealConstructor I live in Scotland and we have PR, and it's a far fairer system.
A mix of both systems isn't possible. Your complaint that it is complex and takes too long is EXACTLY why it's a good thing. Politics IS complex and it should be given proper consideration. People who want quick fixes are morons.
Bravo Carol - well said 😊
I agree 100%. I listened to John Baron asking Sunak a very easy question at last weeks PMQS ,he was obviously lining himself up for a sir title. Two of the previous questions from the Tory back benchers where from Tory sirs, safe seat, jobs for life, for the Tory boys who think that they are the rightful ruling classes. Time for change!
@@chatham43 Under PR yes , under FPTP more likely to inadvertently help the tories win .
This lady makes great sense. We need to get rid of this shower of rubbish that has been forced upon us.
Not just the young. Many of us oldies want change. I'm 61 now and for PR for decades....
Starmer will make sure the injustice in society remains .
Carol you are a breath of fresh air xx
What a real stand up woman every word Carol Vordermsn salute was always brain and beauty, lord knows we need a change .
*maggieedwards3951
How come this 62 year old homage to plastic surgery was not spouting off about PR when war monger Blair was screwing us?
Strange that.
Excellent Carol, yes tatical voting to get the Tories out is the only way forward. Public school, oxford then morgan stanley doesn't mean that you are qualified to manage anything. No real life experiences !
None
Unless the party you vote for supports or, Labour does not, then you will not have any chance of getting pr
I'm shocked that the SAS didn't storm the studio and take the program off air! 😜Love you Carol. Keep on educating the UK 🥰
Lol 😂😂😂
Hilarious, certainly don't need educating from a woman who's desperate to reinvent herself. The only worse thing will be when she represents her beloved Labour party.
Carol, still true to her roots, well done Carol
Bravo Carol the uk needs all the help it can get
Carol Vorderman talking about maths gets the British public listening. Everyone trusts her far more than any politicians tbh
Well said Carol we need more voices like yours! ❤
Love Carol Vorderman.She’s very vocal about the Tories as is Gary Lineker,yet these same Tories try to tell them to keep out of politics and stick to what they do.YET they’re voters, just like the rest of us, and have an opinion.Did’nt Piers Morgan vote for Boris Johnson and his Tories in 2019? He’s a journalist, turned presenter ( debatable!),so if he’s allowed to express his political views,why aren’t Carol, Gary and other people in the public eye!
Britain NEEDS RADICAL CHANGE.
We are an anachronism in the modern world.
“Tradition” and “we have always done it this way” are very bad reasons for doing nothing.
I love Voderman 💚💚
*The right wing & their media hate Vorderman, which is recommendation enough to listen to what she has to say*
A political debate is badly needed in the UK.
We have to enlighten the working class to the fact that it ONLY themselves who can change the political direction of the UK
"If there is hope it lies with the proles"?
I wouldn't hold my breath. 😑
She is brilliant, I love carol and would have her as PM any day!
She is quite right, we need every vote to count. PR is the way to go please. Thanks max, carol is hero all year round imo. ❤
She tells it as it is, people don't like the truth.
Day 1 of government, Labour must introduce PR. We will never see another Tory govt.
Fist class delivery. Make it plain, straight to the point .Respect to Carol Vordeman.👍
@@FortescueGimlet Idiot! 29% of votes 100% of power. This is what's right for you. Or was it too unclear? Now here's a clear message you can understand: What does Brexit means?
Love carol. Very well informed,helps everyday people see what's actually going on
Carol Vorderman proving herself an absolute legend. I could listen to her talk about anything, she’s so intelligent and eloquent with her points of view and down to earth. I would definitely vote for Carol if she ever had the inclination to enter politics.
She’s gone up in my estimations good on her!
my last vote was tactical to get them out .
Tactical voting is the act of voting for the party you hate to avoid electing the party you fear.
I prefer to think of it as voting for the least worst viable option (no party is perfect)
I guess I'd better vote for bloody Starmer after all😮
love carol always speak the truth about tories
National Treasure The Voice of Reason! ❤
Carol gets my vote always. Hope that labour, when elected, start on election reform. It can be in place within 5 years. We'd get better MPs and new, representative government.
Well said Carol
This is what a true patriot looks like. Someone who actually wants the long term best for the whole country.
@@johncm4420Thick as mince!
Amazing lady, very well said!
My life is coming to its end but I do want new generations to have even better opportunities than I had. I will vote and fight for them - they have a bum deal.
Sad for you but applaud your stance to provide a better life for the next generation. Take care.
go carol
Love this woman she speaks so much sense all her arguments are so well thought out 👏👏👏👏
I wish we had people like her in government
Funny thing is they all talk the good talk when there not in a position of power then do a complete uturn when they get in.
Look at the balls on this woman ,she is an example of an outstanding human being
Yes, but us women have our own form of gonads. We don’t need your balls (sic)
What a woman she is❤️
She’s so good at explaining.
On point on all points 👍
We'll done carol for speaking up for the ordinary people
I'm really surprised they let her talk in length about such a serious issue on that show. Fair play to Sunday Brunch 👏
Carol is a hero every week!
Wow. I'm genuinely impressed. Somebody as well known as her doing something like this with her position. Keep going Carol.
Not just the young, even the old, like me, nearly 70 want an 'Alternative Vote' system than the current corrupt system that we have now. There's an online campaign called Change which has been campaigning for a new voting system for years.
Carol Vorderman Your My Hero Please Speak The Truth
Well said Carol, the two chap's your talking to looked kinda stunned with what you were saying i thought, i hope people vote tactically and get the tories out,, and yes if we could have a new system of perportional representation instead of first past the post great, and hell chuck in a new way of life and you're on a winner 🏆 🥇.
Two caveats regarding PR. Firstly, the Labour Party has always opposed it and has to be brought on board to support it. Secondly, the form of PR that is adopted need to be explained clearly to the electorate and needs to be a form of PR that really ensures every vote counts. Last time 10 years ago, when the Lib Dems tried to introduce PR, it was such a bad form of PR and so poorly presented and explained that the electorate rejected it.
Just use the simplest system, like the Dutch system. 10% of the votes = 10% of the seats. (In het Netherlands you need 0,666% of the votes to gain a seat in Parliament
Good points
It wasn’t a PR system the Lib Dems managed to get a referendum on, it was the Alternative Vote system which is not even a form of PR and delivers not much differently to FPTP. God knows why they didn’t push for PR 🤷🏻
She's doing Gods work
Well done Carol!
The UK's political system is outdated and fundamentally flawed, as such it's not fit for purpose. Unfortunately the reality is there seems to be little support amongst the parties to actually drive forward meaningful change. Hell, as it stands now the two main parties of the UK represent far right and right.
Carol's voice is one sorely and desperately needed within the UK and we need more like her with the reputation and platform to drive for positive change.
GBnews will hate Carol even more now as the truth hurts , politics definitely needs to change,I live in a strong Tory majority so I will play tactily and it certainly won't be a cloned Tory party REFORM.
I feel sorry for all the ambulance staff who had to go to the GB Views studios after this was aired.
Good Evening Everyone! ❤
She concentrates on the issues of concerns.,not personalities .She stands up to this incompetent and scandal ridden Tory government on behalf of those who are struggling to survive on a weekly basis .
the system is not broken, it is working exactly as designed. we dont want a fix, we want change.
You won’t get change if people continue to vote Lib Lab Con.
Carol is emerging as a sensible voice. I have become a fan.
There has to be some sort of change because at the moment politicians can just lie and lie and get away with it. Whereas a party can come up with a set of policies at election time, what must be avoided is someone being elected on a single platform and then if elected being able to pontificate on all sorts of subjects
Who ya gonna vote for? Labour? More of the same im afraid!!
@garyfryer5334 Not remotely.
Without PR we will have no future.
Carol is a champion for ordinary people. I am Scottish and would always vote for my country but I hope the English listen to her. It’s time to get rid of these toxic tortes once and for all…. They have ruined the country in so many ways with their greed and corruption.
i have listened to her before, i think she should run for office
Was thinking the same thing 🤔
Why isn't anyone truly making an effort to convince non-voters to rethink their stance? Why isn't anyone trying to understand why they don't vote? And why isn't this then showed on prime time TV?
The 2 main arguments of non voters are quite valid. 1/ there's no real difference in the parties 2/ my vote doesn't count under fptp in a safe seat
Address both those issues and I suspect voting would increase
I live in a Blue county ..... Im hoping tatical voting will shift the local idiots
Carol is doing a great job! 👏
I love Carol. She has always been anti Fascist 💚😊
The message about getting rid of First Past the Post becomes ever louder, which is encouraging for reformers like myself who have been campaigning on this issue for decades - what was once a ripple of discontent has now turned into a veritable tsunami of rage - we need to make electoral reform (as an integral element among general Constitutional Reform) THE number one doorstep issue - every single time anyone from a political party engages with you, the first thing you utter should be something akin to:
"Do you endorse a fully proportional voting method to elect Westminster MPs - if not, why not and you can forget my vote until you do"
If everyone does this, change will come, much quicker than we ever thought possible!
Loved her roasting of Johnny Mercer! Class
Thanks for your efforts carol and the team
"the system needs to change" ; NO! the systen must BE CHANGED!
Great woman, and 100% correct as usual. And yes indeed, she DOES have "massive platforms".
Max you're spot on about the tactical voting. I would love to vote greens. Now that i can't vote for them as a second choice id have to vote labour. This pains me but the tories need to go.
And replace the Lords with an elected second chamber. That would mean discredited has-beens like David Cameron would not be bunged a peerage in order to enable them to sit in Sunak's cabinet.
Well said carol
I seriously doubt Starmer will entertain electoral reform, but the Tories really need to go.
He might do in the future, because if the Tories get in again after one or two terms, they will just reverse any changes Labour have made.
Well done Carol, I'm with you.
Good evening Max. So refreshing to listen to someone like this lady 🎉. Yes hero of the week 🎉🎉🎉
