British 2015 general election poll

[Miletos]

i heard that if you fail to distinguish between bretange and grande-bretange the MP for rennes will be all up in your shit and legally there will be nothing you do to stop him

I gather the Breton Democratic Union are poised to be kingmakers in this year's westminster elections and Miliband has already ruled out forming a coalition

They've got an electoral pact going with Plaid Cymru and Mebyon Kernow to unite all of the Brythonic-speaking peoples under one banner, those perfidious Goidelic-speakers be damned.

[Imperializt Russia]

I'm surprised we've gone this long arguing about whether NI is British without some good old-fashioned republican legitimatism.

Most of the people who would were the same person, who's DOS.

[Vassenor]

DUP : More seats than the Greens, UKIP, Plaid Cymru and Respect

To be fair, the only party with less seats than Respect is the Monster Raving Loonies.

What's the prime tactical voting option for an anti-nationalist vote in Gwened?

I'd suggest the Parti Socialiste, but equally the local Labour candidate has been campaigning very strongly for the continued role of Vannes within the Angevin Commonwealth, so give her a look.

You forgot the 475,000 far-left splinter parties and the fourteen tiny Christian-democrat parties.

[Hydesland]

To be honest, I do actually agree with Dejanic broadly, I see no reason why there shouldn't be allowed a separate NI election thread.

I'd probably agree if the four constituent nations with their varied political landscapes had different threads. A mod has denied that ever happening though.

I think the SNP and the Scottish elections are a dominating topic and will remain so in this thread, Scottish posters don't and wont get drowned out here, so I don't think Scotland needs a separate thread. England certainly doesn't. You could make a case for Wales if anyone actually cares.

Also the far-right parties, the UK Libertarian Party (yes, it exists), and most importantly, the Animal Welfare Party.

Not gonna lie, though, Labour has put me off. They were all too eager to jump into bed with the UMP during the referendum on Brittany's future.

I'm considering a vote for that Jeanne d'Arc, but I'm not sure she will appreciate my culturally Breton concerns within an independent France. If Mebyon Kernow put up candidates here, though, that would be great; that Dick Cole is sure one badass fellow.

That's the thing. When election day comes, people will discuss the SNP, Scottish Labour, Labour in Wales, Plaid, etc. No one will really care about or discuss the DUP or SF or whatever. On a NI thread they may do, but I can guarantee that it won't really happen here, because it won't be on anyone's minds. NI discussion always gets drowned out.

[Conscentia]

Well aren't you judgemental.

When have I ever indicated that enjoy correcting people?
When have I ever said "fooling them"?
When have my corrections been wrong?

Because you jump into random conversations and made irrelevant corrections just to make yourself look cool. It doesn't make you look cool. It makes you look strange and cruel.
I very highly doubt you do this to "help people".
Your corrections are almost always wrong, in fact I don't think I've ever seen you correct someone and actually be on the ball. In your haste to seem intellectually superior, you usually make sloppy mistakes. It's quite funny actually.

Correcting peoples grammar/spelling over the internet doesn't make you a bad man. It makes you look bad, man.

I'm not trying to look cool. I've never made any suggestion that I want to be perceived as cool. On the contrary, I've done several things that almost certainly aren't cool at all. I'm not trying to seem intellectually superior either. Strange would be accurate. I am strange. I don't know how correcting people seems cruel... Perhaps you take impersonal criticism personally?
What "sloppy mistakes" have I made?

Oh... is this still about me pointing out that you capitalised a word when you shouldn't have? Are you still on that?

Then it won't be much of an issue to clog up your sacred area

Good. None of us want to have to plunge the blockage again.

DUP First Minister Peter Robinson this week said that if homosexuality was illegal he would expect that people would obey the law

Who's Peter Robinson, does he make Robinson fruit juice, a tasty fruit based Cordial that makes a delicious beverage once water (and perhaps a cube or two of ice) is added.



Summer fruits is my personal favourite. Though I do love a bit of Orange and Mango on a rainy day, thoughts people?

I'm a boring Orange lad, I'm afraid.
Orange fruits and barley is pretty nifty though.

Better in what sense?

Better quality, my volume is up all the way and I'm still have trouble.

Edit: never mind, found one.

when we talk about a majority government do we mean strict 326 or do we mean sinn fein adjusted 323

[Dejanic]

Anyway, back to business.

The Tories are edging ahead, and it looks like they may just about gain more seats than Labour. TBH I can see them acquiring more seats, but Labour keeping the Tories out of office with the backing of the SNP. Now frankly, this will probably lead to an unstable Labour led government, and an eventual collapse and re election. But the hope is the Tories "loss" will destabilise them enough so that they will struggle in any second election.

Any thoughts or predictions people?

If the conservatives get the most seats, they'll have fist pick at a coalition.

If they can get one, we carry on as we have. If they don't they'll try for a minority gov.

I adjust for THE FUCKING PADDY SECESSIONISTS but I dunno what the convention is in the news

[Arglorand]

Yeah, you need a strict 326 to have a majority.

I get where you're coming from, but in reality Paris is no closer to Kemper than Westminster is, and I can't see the Duchy doing well if it opts to side with Philip Augustus, much as John's premiership has had its problems. A vote for Henry II's brood is a vote for long-term stability, however chaotic the short term might seem, and besides - we need the English to invest in our brethren in Cornwall to develop the nascent mining sector and lift the people out of long-term smuggling.

Oh look, the DUP leadership is legitimising/not condemning homophobia.

Well statistics are showing that even with the lead that they'll have, they'll won't be able to form a government even with Lib Dem, UKIP, and even DUP backing. They'd need SNP support, which won't happen.

I can see the Tories collapsing here, even if they "win". Cameron certainly won't be leader for much longer.
