Surely that is a similar thing. I wont kick up if the plug is pulled thotally on the eu as my team lost a vote. Palace dont get points for 31 chances unless they score but because we draw the other team gets half the spoils even if they use a bus. I cant see how the close vote doesnt merit trying to appease both sides.

If leave had lost by a small margin what concessions do you honestly think remain would have given , I am intreaged as to your answer because personally I think nothing.

I cant see how the close vote doesnt merit trying to appease both sides. Like I said, proportional representation is a fairer system. I'm never going to argue that point. However, we are talking about effective government here....not what is fair. Indeed we have the advantage of seeing proportional representation systems around the world in action.....It's a significant argument against them. Huge problems have been created by people's visions on fairness. That's how communism started.....and that led to a large higher pile of bones than fascism did.

As we know, treating your workforce well leads to higher retention over those that don't. For some professions that is more important than for others depending upon the complexity....but I would consider it just a generally sensible policy both ethically and business wise. Of course, the business has to be doing well enough....which traditionally socialism hasn't a good track record on.....neo liberalism much more so....but that fecks the working class in other ways.

As usual you narrowly miss my point. It is not a sensible policy for some businesses. I have worked for highly cynical businesses. In their opinion paying low, abusing workers, demanding ridiculous hours and eventually having ex employees hating you is simply the name of the game. Their leadership was relatively sociopathic but managed to convince themselves it was just how business should work. The possible trade off between replacing employee turnover and meanwhile having cheap and overworked labour is calculated and a decision made in the interests of the business. Or usually more truthfully the owners of the business. Recently I have been shocked at the prevalence of such thinking. I could name names.
