No. Just stop reading this thread. I have better things to do with my life than obsess over pointless shit.

Yes - the troubles were important. Yes, they were significant. But who talked to whom 30, 40 years ago during the height of them really does not fucking matter any more so let it go.

Ironically, it does when the DUP is kingmaker. They absolutely would never give Labour's current leadership the time of day to even attempt to form a minority government.

Well, there were literally only a couple dozen votes either way, so it was recounted and recounted and they actually had to send the counters home so they could go and sleep for the first time in a day lol, and only had a final recount tonight.
I've seen 70 and 30 as the majorities, but they declared it as 20 votes holy shit.

ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!

I would not be surprised if the incompetence of RBKC council is worth 20 votes. I have little confidence in this result, or that my vote was counted.

I think after three counts they're pretty sure of the result. Unless you want to pull a Rudd and demand a fourth count.

And the insane thing is that's not even the closest margin this election.

SNP won one seat by 2 votes. 2.

Please at least try to read and think. I am not disputing the count.

WITCHCRAFT

Seriously, how did you do this.

Okay, of the 650 seats, 102 had their elected MP reach a 45% vote among their entire electorate (including non-voters) and only 27 reached 50% for an absolute possible majority.
Only two of these 27 were Conservative seats.

What a shitshow that was.

I am a bit split, I think the conservatives deserved to get shafted by the voters after their joke of a manifesto. At the other hand, Korbachov is leading the opposition.
