bunch of centrist pro-eu defectors from the Conservatives and Labour. They were founded in February, and officially their short hands is ChUK but everyone calls them CUK because its funny and they have a stupid name.

That’s unfortunate.

The former labour members are basically the ones who were opposed to Corbyn and were trying to get rid of him, and as that failed they jumped ship and clambered around pro eu stuff to get votes.

The Tory ones well... they're fucking tories.

In the end I think this explains a lot of it. People want the two main parties gone, and we're prepared to destroy the country to do it at this point. The status quo is so hated we're basically actively demolishing it any way we can. But the cunts still hang on.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

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!

We should have just encouraged everyone to write "To the best" on the ballots Ala alexander, so our ruling class would balkanize and murder eachother in their claim to be that.

So what your saying is we should all gather together in support of the one true king of the British Isles Stephen Dillaine and launch an all out naval assault up the thames to secure the iron parliament?

where in Europe is there election rigging? In the UK they are counted by hand and when cast put into a locked box so where is the switching? Its not like what happens in Russia where they cheat on camera.

CUK are fucked, as are UKIP. Labour are going to have to take a strong second referendum position, even if that means dumping Jeremy. The next Tory leader won't be able to call an election because they would lose everything. There will probably be a load of Tory MPs defecting to the Brexit Party, which would finish off the Conservative Party.

Ireland, in our European elections. Or so it appears from exit polls. Remains to be seen how the final results will shake out.

From BBC News:
Change UK leader Heidi Allen says: It feels like there has been a big swing to Remain.

"People are not down-hearted - this is the beginning of something."

She says that the European elections "came too quickly" for Change UK to work with other Remain-supporting parties.

She adds that she hopes this will change before the next general election.

Is she delusional?
