#UKGeneralElection propaganda in newspapers & on the WWW that tries to scare you about a "supermajority" is lying to you.

In countries such as the U.S., Germany, Ireland, and France, the written constitutions specify that a few things can only be enacted if ⅗, ⅔, or even ¾ agree. That is what a #supermajority is.

There is no such thing in the U.K. Parliament. Anything over ½ counts.

Remember that this was even true for constitutionally fundamental things such as Brexit.
