News daily mail general election

The Mail warned that Starmer would wreck Britain in 100 days with his ‘supermajority’ and got owned into the next parliament

Poke Staff. Updated July 2nd, 2024

Until this general election campaign began, most people hadn’t heard the term supermajority. If they had, they would understand it to mean a requirement for a vote to meet a higher threshold than 50 per cent in order for a measure to pass.

For example, many people wanted the EU referendum to require at least two thirds to vote in favour of it because it was such an enormous change. Imagine how much easier life would be if they’d agreed.

However, the Conservatives have been using the term to mean a huge majority – you know …like 80 seats or something – and have been running a campaign based on scaremongering about what Labour might do with this redefined supermajority.

The Mail ran with it,

Well, they’ve now got two days to stop the ‘supermajority’, but their warning of the possible outcome of 100 days of an all-powerful Labour government haven’t been met with the level of trepidation they might have liked. In fact, people just massively took the piss.
