Had a chat with the colleague who said something along the lines of "chin up, we're not as fucked as America". I told him to check that again in 5 years or so...
Yeah, one of many shocks these cunts can look forward to over the coming months and years is that brexit news is going fucking nowhere.
This is like saying that the Green's performance means being as left as possible is always going to be shit. Lib dems are shit, but they weren't one of the two established parties in a FPTP system. Which both means they shouldn't have run and that they never had a chance no matter what direction they were.
We'll never agree on this but I think the Lib Dem's would have done much better if we didn't have FPTP.
If it were only SNP supporters who favoured independence that would be totally correct. However, there's non-trivial minorities of supporters of other parties that would vote for independence (just like there's a non-trivial minority of SNP voters who would vote against, and are voting SNP because they like the SNP's policies or as an anti-Conservative vote).
I'm gutted. I have an autistic child, and the Tories are slowly moving towards a complete freeze of funding for children's mental health services. My mother has also lost out to the WASPI shitshow. Half of my family is Danish, and my mother in law was considering retiring with us in the UK, and now probably can't. We will see a very tangible and immediate fallout from this in my family. Fucking hell.
Without question, and I don't see this changing in the near future if ever.
I hate these kind of policies because it's what breeds resentment and always ends up with the tories back in power. We have enough wealth to have things like free lifetime education and free broadband.
The realest tea is that this has even more to do with long term economic and social trends
Has a UK party ever won an election with the same leader after losing the previous one? I honestly don't know.
Yes. I'm historical terms it's not even that uncommon. It's become basically impossible in the modern era, however.
Fuck yeah! Scotland and Ireland unite!
Complete the promise which was never fully recognised. It is destiny.
Yes of course. Interesting that it used to be common. It seems impossible to me nowadays but I guess that is the caused by the change in the media and the rise in social media? I couldn't imagine the tories having this result with May still in power.
the tories have to swallow the Bitter pill and start to figure out what they want to be in a post Brexit UK.
The membership and the structure of the way the voting and the conference happens is a major part of the problem. The conference was a fucking disaster.
