I think you guys are getting successfully trolled tbh.

i already called it a couple dozen pages ago, I'm just (1) easily risen (2) bored

[Questers]

special interest groups controlling government policy is bad, whoda thunk it???

I lost my password for my first account. It was this, or use an account which was entirely RP which does not fit my own political views. So, tbh, no, you are not getting trolled, I just made a new account.

You seem like a troll regardless.

ok buddy

No, sweethard, the Unions were trying to destroy this country, using their unfair control over the ability to generate electricity to force a series of successive weak governments, Labour & Conservative, to push through their hideous demands. Thank God we got a Prime Minister in 1979 who, after carefully negotiating around the first strike of her term, managed to crush the unions. Bring the mad dogs under control.

Do you seriously not have any sources for the history of this country than neoliberal talking points?

I dunno. There are Tories genuinely like Lamadia. Although she is more hyperbolic than fucking Alyakia, so I have my doubts. I mean, has she read up on the French Revolution, because she almost seems like a direct clone of Marie Antoinette.

Because I contrast to the hideous socialist, left-wing views held by most people of this game, which will never find their way back into mainstream UK politics due to the sheer stupidity of the majority of mainstream politicians who hold them, and the idiocy of the ideas themselves, it does not make me a 'troll'.

Mad dogs? Have you heard of the concept known as nuance?

Well you're right, to a degree, there. But if you think the Conservatives will survive the test of time, you're wrong. Jon Snow will take back Labour from the Boltons and you can kiss electoral success good-fucking-bye.

why are there 2 Lamadiai ?

[Questers]

Burnham 2020

edit: before i have to say it there are obvious reasons why this is not a totally serious post

That wouldn't be a bad thing though.

Because you're too close to a stereotype to seem real.

Absolutely not. Labour has almos t crippled its reputaon- it elected a socialist leader, people are not aware that it lurks below the surface. Corbyn may not make it, but, if a man like Burnham or Chuka Umunna comes to power, I still highly doubt the reputation of the Party will recover enough before 2020.

well he's doing the mayor thing or whatever

if not then sure

but i think benn is a more likely choice (and probs better)

Go elect Boris Johnson and see what that does for your party's reputation.

Benn's not going to be standing. That's the goss. Likely Eagle will try a challenge in the first coup (the unwinnable one), Jarvis will try play for one he can win.

Absolutely not. You know nothing about my social class, you make presumptions from my political opinions, which is ridiculous.

reminds me on tory news: contrary to their usual policy of ignoring consultations they are moving forward with internet censorship before they even have one, lol

"My father went to Eton."

Darling we know all about your social class.

(Although you have been happy to speculate about mine, based on my politics, despite me making no overtures about it at all.)

Tories have an obsession with envy.

I think this is strange. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am a Yorkshireman, if for some reason you think I am going to be envious of anyone for their home or identity then you quite clearly know nothing about Yorkshire.

But again it's a strange obsession. Maybe because you're all so materialistic? Do you really think the striking miners were part of a "politics of envy?"

Politics of laziness, actually.
Most miners, I am sure were very hardworking, and did not want to strike. Most, I am sure, were manipulated by the greedy, greedy unions.

I just cannot fathom the idiocy of this ^ post. Really? You actually, seriously think that the mine closures were good and the strikes were evil?

I would ask if you had been to the N.E or Wales but then I realized

Why not?

Eagle is whatever, Jarvis sure though.

Of course, I visited Newcastle a few years ago before going on to Scotland.
