[UK] General Election 2017 Superthread

[Herskerstad]

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.

That man is a mental case.

He's a relic of the 70's for better and for worse.

His sympathies for terror and backwater administration is worrying to say the least, but he does have actual worker sympathy.

[Calladan]

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.

There's that seat in Scotland with a majority of 2 votes....

Scottish people CLEARLY have more stamina and can stay up longer to count votes than the wusses in Kensington can

[Souseiseki]

Well, Theresa's shot herself in the foot. As everyone knew she would.

Now its time for the champagne socialists to start claiming victory over the conservatives! Even though the Corbynistas didn't actually win.

all they did was massively increase their vote share beyond all expectations, achieve a hung parliament and almost take down the government. nothing big. just a little upset.

literally saved by the SNP collapse.

[Soksia]

We must ensure that Britain remains in the EU at all costs. The EU are the only ones who will create robust hate speech laws to silence racists!

[Fetlar]

We must ensure that Britain remains in the EU at all costs. The EU are the only ones who will create robust hate speech laws to silence racists!

Well, the British people sort of voted against that.

[Calladan]

The result according to the thread poll!

To the best of the site limitations.

Not entirely far off it seems

Kind of off topic, but I got bored and started playing with the thing. Turns out if you give a party 100% support, it goes a bit mental.

But, anyway.

[Calladan]

Well, the British people sort of voted against that.

Which part, specifically?

[Fetlar]

Really doesn't matter what part. That is irrelevant.

[Fetlar]

The remoaners need to stop bemoaning the outcome of a democratic vote.

It didn't go their way, and they're going crazy.

[Soksia]

Well, the British people sort of voted against that.

By an extremely slim margin. Besides, don't the Scottish and Irish count? They voted against it!

Plus, I believe it is sometimes necessary to override democracy in the favor of common interests.

So how much of the country needs to actually vote for it in order for it to be satisfactory. Is 60% acceptable?


Or how about you accept the results of a f-cking democratic vote.

No, we cannot permit any nations to leave the EU!

They are also British.

Why? What will happen? Will they blow up? Will Hitler rise from the dead and kill 2 million Jews all over again?

[Soksia]

Hitler killed 6 million Jews, not 2 million.

If they leave, the far-right will continue to grow and hold back the Great Change.

[Calladan]

Which part, specifically?

Really doesn't matter what part. That is irrelevant.

Well, no. It actually does matter. If they vote against leaving the EU, that's one thing. If they vote against hate speech, that another thing. If they vote against silencing racists, that's a whole other thing completely.

So - which part, specifically?

No, we cannot permit any nations to leave the EU!

Why? What will happen? Will they blow up? Will Hitler rise from the dead and kill 2 million Jews all over again?

2 million? Huh. So the other 4 million died of what? Surprise? Old age?

May I suggest learning some history before lecturing us on ours?

[Angleter]

Well, Theresa's shot herself in the foot. As everyone knew she would.

Now its time for the champagne socialists to start claiming victory over the conservatives! Even though the Corbynistas didn't actually win.

She's shot the Tory Party in the fucking head. She (or rather, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill) turned one of the greatest opportunities in the party's history into a serious existential crisis.

[Vassenor]

The Conservatives are in coalition with a party that has supported Unionist terrorists in the past. We've also talked about the Cons who were literally members of the IRA or laundered money for them.

6 million.


And the far right will continue to grow? Oh no! What a great disaster!

At least they wont run the nation into the fucking ground like Labour did.

Its funny to watch her flounder around on the floor whilst the SNP pokes her with a stick.

Aaaaaaaaaaand ignore list.

[Fetlar]

I did mean 6 Million, btw.

Jesus.

[Hydesland]

Soksia is clearly a troll by the way.

I am not a troll ! I am completely against the altright trolls!

Trolls exist on all points of the political spectrum. Just sayin'.

[Salandriagado]

They're not in government, and receive no ministers.

Why join the government then?

It gives them influence over the Tories (they can just threaten to pull their support if they don't get their way), without making themselves as much of a scapegoat as the Lib Dems did.
