As someone who lives in the UK, it's 35%. It tallies up with right wing tory voters

Does "roughly 20%" actually mean close to 50%? Because that's what I assume.

My family landed in South Australia so we got sent here by the rest of the family as black sheep or as a disgrace.

I need to know. My family knows NOTHING about our family history and I'm pretty sure that's because I'm descended from Irish convicts

Yeah, I don’t think this is a secret. I am pretty sure I learned this in elementary and country built by prisoners
