Nah, the MRLP did run and were present in Maidenhead, which is May's constituency, you can just about see their leader, in the traditional white suit and hat, on the right of OPs picture. Lord Buckethead is an independent who runs in maidenhead whenever he feels like annoying whoever the major candidate is, in the past that being Tatcher and Major. Also running in Maidenhead this year was Elmo.

He actually won more votes this time around against May than he did against John Major and Margaret Thatcher. Really, who could argue with his manifesto?

>2. Full facial coverings to be kept legal, especially bucket-related headgear.

>3. No third runway to be built at Heathrow: where we’re going we don’t need runways.

>4. Ceefax to be brought back immediately, with The Oracle and other Teletext services to be rolled out by the next Parliament.

>5. Regeneration of Nicholson’s Shopping Centre, Maidenhead.

>6. Buckethead on Brexit: a referendum should be held about whether there should be a second referendum.

>7. Nuclear weapons: A firm public commitment to build the £100bn renewal of the Trident weapons system, followed by an equally firm private commitment not to build it. They’re secret submarines, no one will ever know. It’s a win win.

>8. Nationalisation of Adele: in order to maximise the efficient use of UK resources, the time is right for great British assets to be brought into public ownership for the common good. This is to be achieved through capital spending.

>9. A moratorium until 2022 on whether Birmingham should be converted into a star base.

>10. Legalisation of the hunting of fox-hunters.

>11. New voting age limit of 16 to be introduced. New voting age limit of 80 to be introduced too.

>12. Katie Hopkins to be banished to the Phantom Zone.

I've never thought about it that way before, but you're right. I think what makes it work is partly that they're taken seriously enough to keep the joke going, and partly because it helps to force "proper" politicians into awkward situations semi-regularly, especially if in amongst the lunacy and obvious piss-taking their are sensible points.

Speaking of the Monster Raving Looneys, they had a cat as their leader for a number of years.

>Catmando (1995–2002; also spelt "Cat Mandu") was a cat who served as joint leader of Britain's Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP) from 1999 to 2002, along with his owner, Howling Laud Hope. He is the only cat ever to have been named leader of a political party.

>Following the 1999 death of the party's founder, Screaming Lord Sutch, the OMRLP held a leadership election with Alan "Howling Laud" Hope (who was then the party's chairman and deputy leader) and Catmando as the only two candidates. The vote was a tie, with Hope and Catmando each receiving 125 votes. Hope, as the party chairman, had the deciding vote, and decided that he and Catmando should serve as joint leaders.

>As joint leader, Catmando oversaw the greatest electoral performance the OMRLP had seen to date, fielding 15 candidates in the 2001 general election. Catmando served as joint leader until his death as a result of a traffic accident in July 2002. Hope then became the party's sole leader.

>Following Catmando's death, the party proposed that there should be cat-crossings at all major roads

No, because the Popular elected Hillary. The election was less that Trump won, and more that Hillary lost, especially after everyone realized that the Dem party was just playing the Sanders supporters and that they had no intention of letting him run.
Also, because the general public opinion has been strongly against the rising trend of supporting career politicians, and since Trump isn't actually a conservative and is more of an unholy fusion between Industrialist and Populist, he appealed to a large amount of electorates who wanted a more economically focused candidate.

>>53717155
They exist in order to avoid rule without representation. If it was only Popular, then peole would only bother campaigning in just 3 cities in the country, which would leave many Americans in the less populous areas be without proper representation in their own federal election. While it doesn't always work as intended, its generally considered a better alternative to basically trying to invite the same shitty situation of rule without representation which the US revolted against Britain over. Otherwise, you'd just be in a scenario where retarded conflicts like the Civil War would happen with a higher frequency and occur over the littlest thing.

And besides, its really not convoluted. Its just "each state has elected representatives chosen by their constituants, and they vote on which candidate they want of the behalf of their state. Last I checked you don't have to be a genius to understand this, and I'd hope a Brit would be able to as well considering you're a fucking 1st-world nation with a decent education system.

The Congress is hardly weird, its just 2 Parliaments instead of one to once again avoid marginalizing the lesser-populated states through the addition of the Senate. It only gets weird because the USA is a fucking massive nation with each state usually being big enough to be its own country (Texas alone is around the same size as Germany, and England can barely fit inside California), which means when populations shift across them the House of Representatives has to readjust their seating limits and allocations. Really its not fair to compare them to the British Parliament, since that system requires less work and organization since it doesn't have to manage 50 micro-nations with vastly differing cultures, economies, resources, environs, and in some cases infrastructure, that all tend to have animosity towards each other. It'd be more fair to compare the US to something like the UN but more extreme, since as a nation we have to try to maintain consolidated federal power despite how vastly different each state can be from the other.

So really, the Congress kinda has to be at least a tad more complicated out of necessity, because of both their great size AND their high population. If it was only one or the other, and if it had fever states a parliament could work (like it does in Canada), but with 50 micro-nations, and the fact that it would not only be a real bitch to consolidate them, but would also again be more unfair to states and people not living in the Eastern states, that is not likely to change at all.
>>
>>53717521
so you are saying that a representative system that is deliberately unfair to the majority of your population is better.
>>
>>53717342
A fuckit, phone deleted my post via a shitty ad.

Gist was, they didn't want representation, as they were sane men and it would have been disastrous (unless you split the colonies or make new rules, they'd max out at a massively outnumbered 26 MPs) - they wanted local government, and with the borders where they were that would include foreign policy (they really wanted to settle westward), which seeing as that sparked the war that the new duties were raised to pay for the mother country would never allow (also mercantile ideas of colonies at the time)

TL;DR, they only adopted the catchy 'no taxation without representation' phrase after breakaway looked certain

>>
>>53717867
How does that have anything to do with electing a single person by popular vote? You already have equal representation in your upper house of parliament.
>>
>>53717738
No, because you're trying to put words in my mouth. what I'm saying is a system that allows for representation of the whole nation, rather than just the 10% of the total national size living within a single isolated area, is better, since you can't trust a nation ruled exclusively by those people to be able to watch out for the common interest of all people in the nation living in widely differing situations and places.

Afterall, you wouldn't want some rich fuck who has only known life on the coast trying to make policy for a blue-collar warker living right in the middle of the prairie? That would just fuck those people over since the person over on the coast has no knowledge of the culture, economics, lifestyle, and the million other factors that those people have to live with. Now, I'm not a politician, I'm an Ecologist, and I'll tell you its the same idea in my field, where you don't want someone who knows only highly Ustic hardwood forests trying to make ecological policy for a Shortgrass semi-arid prairie, that kind of shit is the reason why prairie ecosystems have been degrading because people wit no knowledge of the resources and disturbance intervals of those places fucked things over.

Think of it as the same way all your colonies and expanded parts of your Empire were taken away from you guys, because its unfair for a people to be judged by a foreigner as they know nothing of their situation and would not have their best interests in mind.

An Island should not rule a continent.

>american culture is so foreign that popular vote would split the union.
>>

>>53717914
Because the nation's population is not evenly distributed you moron. It features some areas with highly dense pockets interspersed with vast swathes of land, as well as some states, having a less dense population due to environmental and logistical factors. Its not fair to someone living in the midwest if, due to popular vote, their issues and desires are marginalized by a single city over in the North East.

In fact, this is the exact same reason why the American Civil War happened, because Lincoln won the election without a single Southern Electoral vote, and less than 10% of the Southern Popular Vote, so the Southern Aristocracy drummed up support to convince their states to secede for fear of their states being exploited and marginalized by what was essentially a foreign power to them. That, and the slavery issue, but it gets complicated from there.

Its the same reason why India was taken away from you guys. Because no one wants to be exploited by foreigners who have no reason to care for their slave-citizens and know nothing of their lives and culture. The reason why your Parliament is ale to work as efficiently as it does now is because you're essentially no longer an empire, have a less heterogenious culture, and the smaller size makes keeping everything controlled and representative much easier.
>>
>>53717867
Why is it more fair to punish the thousands that live in populous states than it would be to punish the (still) thousands that live in states with small populations?

Unless the federal government has a lot less power (and I know some argue for that), some states by necessity will have more power, but why should it be the under-populated ones?
>>
>>53717993
So you are saying that people who live in more desolate or sparsely populated areas should have a much higher vote than people that live in more densely populated areas because americans will start a civil war. Despite having an entire legislative body that specifically exists to give american states an equal voice in policymaking and running the nation.

>india was taken away from you because you were oppressing them
and funny how india ended up having the british parliamentary system and it has hasn't been broken apart. Meanwhile Pakistan had an americanized voting system where the less populous half had more rights than the more populous half and ended up breaking into two parts.
>>
>>53718016
Because the original idea was for us to be a union of separate and equal partners. When the federal government inevitably grew more powerful and centralized, the waters became muddy. At this point, I don't have a solution and nobody does, or at least not good ones. So we limp along. It's not perfect, it's certainly not fair, but if we change it we are pretty sure it will break.

>but why should it be the under-populated ones?
Because it isn't. New York has way more political and economic power than Montana does especially in the House of Representatives. The Senate, and the Electorate exist so that Montana still has a say in the goings-on of their own nation and aren't fucked up the ass by places like Maryland or Texas and can still have at least some level of fair representation instead of virtually none at all.

You seem to be under some delusion that the less populated states somehow ave more sway than the more populated ones, which is patently false. No matter how many Electorate votes North Dakota may get (which mind you all those votes are capped and spaced around based on population and stuff anyway), they will still not have as much economic pull as say Virginia or Washington. However having a senate, and the way the electorate is organized, allows them to still be able to voice and have some ability to actually be heard and considered by their own nation.

I mean think about it. Say you lived in Liverpool, and suddenly one day you were told that votes coming from London will be worth twice as more than you, or that none of the PM candidates will be listening to constituants from your town, wouldn't you be fucking pissed? Wouldn't you want to spit in their face and say "fuck you, my city needs representaiton"

The US is like that, but on a larger scale, and with even mroe diverse cultures and opinions, so if they tried that shit, the results would be catastrophic, and you'd have enough people pissed off about it that the nation would be broken up in civil wars and secession over night

The point isn't to make the people in the countryside more important than the city-folk, its to make some means to even slightly bridge the gape and make them feel equally represented under the law, as well as at least somewhat feel like they actually have a fucking say in who the next King Lizard of their nation is you twat.

Extra retarded. A situation in which one individual vote in one area has more deciding power than individual votes in another area is exactly the situation that occurs with an electoral college. In a popular vote system, straight plurality or any form of preferential voting notwithstanding, any individual member of the electorate in any place has has exactly the same amount if decisive power, and therefore incentive to vote, as anyone else.
>>
>>53718363
What does that even have to do with the electoral college in it's current state? It was made so that demagogues wouldn't be voted to the highest office in the land and electors were supposed to vote according to their own wishes. Now your system is a frankensteins' monster which is a popularity contest where people campaign in a few swing states whose electors end up swinging to one side or the other.

The UK has Lord Buckethead standing next to May and Elmo for goofs and traditions to show that all 3 candidates are equal while they await the voter's response. America has a system where someone can trail by 3 million votes, win in states by a margin of 80000 and be declared president with a bloated executive portfolio.

Its because its more than just about population you fucking retarded twat. How do you not get it? Are you legitimately retarded, or are you so married to the idea of "Farmers have more representation than me" idea that you cannot see it as fallacious?

The problem is that Individuals are more than just individuals. States are not like fucking counties, they are micro-nations with their own economies and cultures. If you were to count everything up based on popular vote, due to the concentration of the population the only centers of political power and control in the country would be in places like New York, Massachusetts, and Los Angelas. As time would go one, since the votes of the people in the less populated parts of the country would not have as much weight, the candidates would then ignore those people in favor of campaigning in only those heavily concentrated areas. Those cities have different markets, cultures, and resources than the less populated onces, which means that a candidate focused on winning and appeasing to those pockets of the population, which would result in them forsaking and not even attempting to make efforts to reach out to people in the rest of the country. This would in turn breed a heavy air of resentment towards the high-density areas be those living in the less dense areas, which will result in either secession and/or an increased drop in voter turnout in those areas even greater than we have now. Meanwhile the Electorate system makes it so that the candidates have to make at least a some effort to try and reach out of people in other states and locales and try to show them that they're at least present in the candidates mind and that he's actually putting in the effort to try and address them and their needs. With a Popular Vote only system, they wouldn't even get that much of a concession. How would you feel if your PM Candidates feel that your county wasn't important enough to ever visit or even address or acknowledge you

Funny, because those parts of the country still get more electoral votes than the less populated countries do, and are still the major focus states of the election
>>
>>53718760
and those values are proportionately less than what their populations would suggest. This means that in a direct election each vote is counted differently.

Lets not go into the details of how states have a winner take all policy which means that you can lose by a very narrow margin of votes and have the entire state vote against a candidate.

You seem to think that those states with the small populations that are unduly influential in the result are therefore the battleground states, with special attention given to them. Except that's not the case; rather, they're solidly Republican, and the states that get attention are those states that have a demographic composition that makes them not solid locks for one party or another i.e. the swing states i.e. not the same as the least-populated states. In other words, the states that you say the electoral college should benefit because they lack for economic power or legislative representation in the House of Representatives still don't get any special attention. Funny.

The reason we're seeing bigger differences in popular and electoral votes is because of the widening differences between urban and rural regions. All the more reason to keep the electoral college. Urban areas control the media, the economy, and higher education. The only thing keeping the country from being crushed by the cities is the political boost they get.

Also swing states are a meme. They change every election and are not always expected. Trump turned states that were considered hard blue.

Well a party could get a majority in parliament in quite easily without getting the majority of votes after all in a first past the post parliamentary system all the votes in an individual constituency that weren't for the winner effectively become meaningless. So for parties like the Lib Dems and the Greens who have fairly spread out support their share of parliamentary seats is far lower than their actual total vote count. You only need a majority of MP's not votes to form a government in Britain.

That's right. Though the constituencies for MPs are not that unequally sized, because of FPTP and the existence of constituencies for national seats, only the plurality winner in each constituency matters. The only way to fix this is to not use the constituencies for Parliament and instead divvy up seats according to proportional representation and party lists.

The two-party system is a historical and cultural side-effect, not a mechanism of the system itself, plus the UK has two major parties, Conservative and Labour, and two minor parties, SNP and Lib-Dem, and SNP is regional along with the other four parties holding seats in the House of Commons.

>>53719162
The entire point of the electoral college was to force candidates to appeal to multiple demographics in order to be successful. It's not about stopping demagogues, who by definition use broad popular appeal, it's not about limiting the effects of popular voters, though there is some intent in that due to issues involving disputes between Northern and Southern states at the formation of the USA, it's primary purpose is to force candidates to appeal to a plurality of voters. It's main issue is that it was never really designed to deal with modern population densities.

Also, about the "she won the popular vote" thing. It's because the Hillary campaign spent a great deal of time and effort in the final few weeks running get out the vote campaigns in districts that were already solidly Democrat because they were afraid that Trump would win the popular vote, hilariously enough due to the popular perception that Hillary was going to win causing low voter turnout among Democrats. She lost the election because she padded her numbers in areas she already won rather than focusing on states that were competitive.

And this is how I know you're retarded. In any system where plurality winners vie for n seats, the system will converge on having n+1 parties. This is because parties that are close neighbors to each other that prefer either of each other to any of the other candidates will support each other, and the other side will do so as well, so on and so forth, until there are only enough competing parties for any to have a realistic chance at a seat. This is game theory and is entirely borne out of the mechanism of winner-take-all plurality winners.

More US states need to adopt the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, the courts need to take a more aggressive stance against drawing safe districts, and Representatives should be allocated by party list proportional representation.

>>
>>53723774
And if not the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, then at least all.states should give out their electoral votes proportionally. All of the reasons for keeping it are bullshit, but if the main one is that it is about "representation" of less populous states, then there is literally no argument against representing the proportion of votes in those states rather than a simple plurality winner-take-all system.

Those two together aren't nearly enough to form a majority, nor is public opinion anywhere near unanimous in those places (though the way the electoral system works hides this, just like it does with the smaller and overrepresented states), such that you could get away with only focusing on the most populous urban centers.

When those "new neighbors" arrive in such numbers that the original inhabitants of the neighborhood become a minority, what has effectively happened is a population replacement even with no miscegenation let alone killing involved.

In example, if in 100 years native Germans will be a minority in their ancestral homeland, and in 200 years, have ceased to exist all together, then they have been in effect, genocided.

And that doesn't even address the fact that we don't fucking necessarily even WANT these new "neighbors" with their foreign and quite frankly, dangerous and barbaric beliefs.

There's a difference between "new neighbors who are scary and brown" and "projected to become a minority within your own homeland".

Brits are already a minority in their own capital (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-20680565) and projected to become a minority by 2066 (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/10032296/White-Britons-will-be-minority-by-2066-says-professor.html). Considering that London's brown Muslim mayor has already claimed such things as there being "too many white men" in London's public transportation (http://www.politics.co.uk/news/2016/03/30/sadiq-khan-there-are-too-many-white-men-on-transport-for-lon) and that terror attacks are now becoming part of daily life in London (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sadiq-khan-london-mayor-terrorism-attacks-part-and-parcel-major-cities-new-york-bombing-a7322846.html), only a moron or a leftie could deny the problem.

>Inb4 "b-but diversity is a good thing! It worked out so well for Russia, Austria-Hungary and Lebanon!"

We, as a people, get only one homeland and only one culture. It is in fact not even truly hours, we inherit our lands from the ancestors who fought and died for it, but at the same time we're merely safekeeping it for the next generation. We owe it to future generations to leave our lands in the same state we found them in, if not a better state. What we cannot morally afford to do is to leave the lands of the next generations in the hands of savages who have only known despotism, effectively forcing the next generation into dhimmitude.

Hence it stops them from properly integrating here.

>but Muhammad is already a popular baby name guys!!!1

Lol, even if this were true (and it's not, see >>53741269), this tells us nothing except that enough people like that single name more than they like any other name, and that means diddly squat without telling use the distribution of that name in either within the wider population or in the Muslim population. And just like it turns out it's only the top name if you do dodgy math and even then it's just that the still relatively small amount of Muslims in England and Wales really like the name Muhammad and it's variations.

>>53741126
>REEEE why won't anyone indulge my fantasies about the brown breeding hordes and cuck porn?!?!?
Lol, masturbate harder. Even if in some far flung future "whites"--probably in your head only including the most lily white because if there's even a hint of any foreign ancestry it's tainted forever or something, because clearly white people grew out of the pure soil or something and aren't migrants from Africa--were a minority, this wouldn't be any more genocide than, say, Native Americans continuing to be be a minority in the US or the same with Aboriginal Australians, and probably less because it's not preceded by anyone systematically killing white people or taking their shit. It's a crisis of your own making that only exists in your heads because you think only lily white counts.

>This means the amount of muslims, without importing any, will double in 20 years.

That would require every muslim couple to have 4 children within the 20 years. Also you are completely ignoring the fact that overall birthrates for everyone tend to drop as their economical situation gouse up. This means that most likely with in 2-3 generation the muslim population will most likely stop growing and start shrinking. Also you have to add to the fact that once the war in syria ends (and that is not far from now, the kurds are marching on rakka and everyone is sick of assad) most European nations will start deporting. plus 10% is still not that much. And here is a nother thing, if europe is really going to be destroyed by a few million unorgenized shitskins, we really deserve it. Im all for forced asimilation, breking up of ghettos and keeping very clouse tabs on islam in europe, but the right is making mountins out of molehills with this.

Also, by the time they are 10% they want exceptions for everything, they want to be able to have hallal meat, they start building mosques, girls can't go to gym class with boys, girls want to wear the headrags everywhere, you get faggots like Sharia4belgium and oh yeah, terrorism everywhere.
It's not the first generation, it's the second and third that is allahu ackbar'ing all over Europe. That's why we need to stop importing as soon as feasible.

Another complete strawman and lack of actual arguments, the post.

My position is completely sensible. There is zero reason for anyone to desire for his/her ethnic group to become a minority in ones own homeland.

Non-Finns will never be my kin and they will always be a threat to the survival of my people.

This is already practiced by many countries who are not muslim (see poland for example). I went to a completely secular school and had this
>girls want to wear the headrags everywhere
People can wear what they want, and can wear what they want. I dont see a problem with someone wearing a fuckign head scarf as long as they dont do it on their ID
>you get faggots like Sharia4belgium
Crazy people were here even before mudshit, it's just because sharia is a crazy left winger it's a problem for you because you are a right winger.
>terrorism everywhere
While this is a problem, it's not a new problem, europe has had problems with terrorism even in the XIX century. Aside from mudshits we still have active left and right wing terrorist groups, as well as active terrorist groups wanting their stretch of land to be independent.

Anon, you dont have a problem with with islam, you have a problem with the fact that not everyone is acting the way you are acting and not everyone has the exact same values as you do. You are the very same cancer that isis is, just not as radicalized yet.

>>53742694
Fun fact, there is precisely ZERO evidence that shows that the sami are any more "indigenous" to Finland than we Finns are.
Most evidence shows that both groups arrived here roughly at the same time.
Besides, the Sami are basically cousin people to Finns genetically and linguistically.
The only reason the idea that they are some sort of "indians" of Finland is because that idea was pushed by treasonous Marxist academics. There is zero evidence backing that notion, and it is purely fueled by ideological hatred against the idea of Finland being ethnic homeland of Finns.

Swedes you mean. Swedes fucked over both the Finns and the Sami when they subjugated these lands. We Finns have been sovereign people for less than a century.

These are our homelands as well. Also, the sami have rights to their traditional reindeer herding lands in Lapland.

It arguably does. It can hardly be helped at this point in time, for the actions of the past can't really be undone.

Not once did I imply anything remotely like that. I think that a bond of fraternity and kinship should be fostered across all Finnic peoples, including the Sami.

You seem to think that everything has some strange place in a void and dose not have to interact with other things if it dose not want to.

Late to the party, but iirc voter ID laws in India have no provisions to solve the issues raised with implementing similar measures in the US. People who don't have cars, who can't get time off work, have health issues, etc all have a much greater burden placed on them in such a scheme.

And when you consider that pretty much any authority on the actual data agrees that "illegal votes" are astronomically rare, it becomes pretty transparent that voter ID laws, voter purges, etc are not intended to make the system better but to exclude voters who typically vote for liberals. Because guess what segments of the population are most heavily affected every time, and which way those segments tend to vote?

That genetic separation is between eastern and western Finns, as western Finns got mixed more with swedes, while eastern Finns got mixed with Russians. Still doesn't disprove the fact that the Finns are genetically distinct ethnicity and that Sami are related to us.

If christianized Finns were still pushing their shit on the sami I'd actually agree with that.

I am happy for their sake that they managed to retain nore of their heritage than we did.
As it is however, there is only one religion in Europe right now, that is violently pushing itself and that's Islam.

I have problems with peoples who seek to dominate, subjugate and rule over my people, or otherwise threaten the continued existence and sovereignty of my people.

>anon, you have to move about 3/4 of all the people in the middle east to make whites a minority in europe.
For accusing people of not understanding scale, you certainly do not understand it yourself. If we want to make whites a minority in Europe *today*, we'd have to move 3/4 of all the people in the Middle East to Europe. Today. For about a century into the future, all we need to do is compare the birth rates for these two groups. Let me explain it in simple terms:

>Germany's birth rate is the lowest in the world
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-32929962

>Migrants bring Germany a baby boom
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-15/europe-s-migrant-flood-brings-germany-a-much-needed-baby-boom

So if the native population isn't reproducing in significant numbers (ie. numbers that create net population growth) but Germany's population is growing, what is happening? If we assume Germany's population halves with every generation, and Germany's "foreign" population doubles with every generation, AND the latter group is bolstered by about 10,000 migrants per year [I'm lowballing here], we're already looking at ethnic displacement. We have already seen this happen to London, and we're seeing this happen in Frankfurt as well.

http://www.frankfurt.de/sixcms/media.php/678/21_Migration_Methode.pdf
Over 55% of those under 6 years old in Frankfurt are Germans with a "migration background", and over 12% in that category foreigners who don't even hold German citizenship. And don't think they're all from low fertility rate countries in Eastern Europe.

Demography is destiny, my friend. Even if all migration into Europe were to stop right now, by the end of the century we're probably looking at a Europe that's at least 30% Muslim by sheer force of reproduction.

no: May's a fucking lunatic with no political stance at all

this is the naked death of her parliamentary party, who are all just like her and only in it for the money and the opportunity to shove people around, not to actually lead, but to carry out the whims of "the boss", whether that's what the public are up in arms about or what the tabloid owners say should happen or what the think tanks filled with smart, dull-witted thinkers fresh out of Oxbridge have deduced should happen

she's climbing into an alliance *as we speak* with Nigel Farage, of all people, a man who doesn't have any MPs and only has one local councillor (who isn't him) in his party; who had 24 MEPs (3.2% of the total members of a parliament the UK has since committed to leaving, who never turned up to do any actual work anyway) in 2014, the biggest success of his party ever, and now has just 20

and she's doing this

because a bunch of the very worst shits - people Farage won't even sit with as an MEP - have decided it's in their interest and won't go into a power-sharing arrangement otherwise

the fact that we all know they were taking money from Moscow same as Farage is of course neither here nor there

at this point if you're standing behind May you'd better have a knife in your hand, because things are about to get ugly

What? Corbyn is getting just as much flak as may outside the media. People want him to step off and someone else fix labour but he just wont budge.
>>
>>53744232
>hate for corbyn is on an all time high.
What? He's fucking up there in the popularity polls. Dropped a little after the election, yeah, but he's still way higher than May and isn't having to fight his own party as much any more. Certainly he's not in "Probably going to be thrown out by any number of people any time soon" tier.
>>
>>53744344
Corbyn's in a much more solid position as leader than May - a lot of his MPs might not be all too fond of him, but he's never looked more secure.
Especially now Abbot has stepped down - he still needs some decent backup, but he's soundly proven that he can lead, and he's clearly in ascent right now

>explain Gove and Johnson
Gove worked for many years as a columnist for The Times, is married to a Daily Mail columnist and has always been very chummy with Rupert Murdoch. That last one is especially important. He has the contacts and good press that a lot of other politicians would kill for.

Johnson, meanwhile, only plays at being a halfwit. He knows that his brand relies on being a Tory that seems "nice". Oh, its Boris off the telly, look at his silly hair (which he deliberately messes up before public events to look more dishevelled) wot a legernd. Its the same reason that Jeremy Corbyn resonates for some people on the other side of the political spectrum, the oddity of a professional politician who at least appears somewhat human and not just a sausage like automaton extruded from a factory at Oxbridge appeals.

Before he went and tried to backstab Theresa and Boris at the same time and it all backfired spectacularly, sure. The public will forever consider him a snake after that stunt.

(yeah, I know its the sun, but its the most blatant example I could find quickly)

His former conservative chums actively loathe him too, because while they'll put up with a backstabber they won't tolerate a failed one. We won't even touch how you could drive huge numbers of people with jobs connected to Education to raving, foaming madness by mentioning his name, long before it was fashionable.

He was actually fine in Justice though, far better than incompetent fuck-up Grayling. Truss was dreadful too, glad she's out on her arse.

True, although absolutely a case of damning with faint praise.

Just think Gove got slaughtered over Education whereas Grayling largely got away, or got much less public flak, for doing equal if not more damage to his brief.

Farage needs to get back into politics and save the brits from themselves.

On the one hand they've got Corbyn, a literal Marxist that seems to not care that Trotskyists are making inroads into Labour, and Theresa "we need to ban porn and have full access to everyone's internet history" May.
>>
>>53746745
I was actually a bit surprised to find out just how much of a backstab it was to Call me Dave - Gove was an actual personal friend outside of politics, their families have holidayed together, his wife is godmother to Cameron's kid etc.

>>53747235
Seems that way - it looks they want him involved in some way, and a couple of others want that as well, but it'll probably be quite a hard sell given how polarising the guy is

I don't believe he ever left.

The man has had more TV interviews than the supposed UKIP leader who replaced him. I honestly don't understand why he even resigned, I know everybody else in politics was doing it at the time, but still.

At this point he's probably the most successful politician in terms of goals achieved the UK has had in over a century.

Another big loser in this Election that nobody is noticing is the Lib Dems (so nothing new there) they could have snatched up a LOT more seats than the paltry 3 they were able to grab on Thursday, and 99% of it has to go down to their call for a second referendum.
NOBODY WANTS A FUCKING SECOND REFERENDUM, AND WHAT WOULD IT EVEN MEAN? WE'VE ALREADY SIGNED ARTICLE 50 YOU FUCKING MORONS.

Principally. One half of the population doesn't like to be told that their vote was wrong, and the other half is sick and tired of being reminded of a vote that they lost.

If they had just gone back to their traditional policy of talking about the NHS, more stringently enforced corporate taxation, cheaper education and more money for people who god bless-em just don't feel like working then they would have seen a MUCH better revival.

Cambridge is the litmus test. They ever retake that, then you know the Lib-Dems have recovered... well, as much as they ever can.
