UK Politics Thread XI: Boris' Big Bombastic Brexit Bash

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Good, 'parliamentary language' is far too stuffy.

Every time an MP or Minister gets invited to the Oxford Union they always make some remark about how the Union is more polite than Parliament, so clearly they don't agree with you on this

Ewwwww, politicians shouldn't be polite, they should conduct debates by hitting one another across the chamber with big nobbledy sticks.

Well, it's not the public telling MPs to act like children in Parliament, that's their doing

That's fair, but the antics of people like Skinner don't help in that regard, is my point

[Liriena]

I'm not trying to take the piss at your expense. Honestly.

Look, I still stan South American feminism because that shit came from the bottom-up and has been doing a lot of heavy lifting for the rest of the left while they've been eating their own boogers, but the British situation is different and, while we're still gonna have our disagreements, I've really come to empathize a lot more with where you stand over the past couple of months. You're right about some shit.

I mean yeah men your economy is broke and this time the grassroots anti Jewish sentiment is legit. Dont take a germans advice or anything, that's obviously a different situation.


It's a bad idea man. The ideology is cancer and should not be institutionalized. Look at our country. Look at it.

I don't know what to tell you. I'm happy with the nascent women's movement we have now than without it. It's imperfect, it has many debates pending, but it's there because there was a genuine historical need for it and if there's anything insidious in there, it has yet to manifest.

The historical circumstances and needs of where I am are not the same as those where you are, though. Hell, even ideologies seldom make it across the Atlantic without changes.

Respectfully disagree, James

[Hakons]

Given how entrenched nationalist and unionist opinions are, what do you think caused such a big swing?

Well Claire is quite well liked by the population of South Belfast, but the main reason in my opinion is Brexit. Sinn Fein and the Greens didn’t run in order to maximise the remain vote behind one person to oust the DUP who are pro brexit, with south Belfast voting to remain in the referendum this put the DUP at odds with the populace and their vote share went down last election but not enough to cost them the seat but now the turn tables

That's interesting that brexit is a powerful enough force to break a deadlock as deep as that. It's funny that SF and SNP, nationalist parties, are gaining seats because they want to stay in the EU, usually something disliked by nationalist voters.

[Definitely Not Trumptonium]

Any word on Thornberry? I thought I read she might be in danger earlier today but not seen anything pop up on the feed.

Though I might be thinking of Flint.

Flint was gone like two hours ago.

[The Nihilistic view]

Along with Jo Swinson, it's surprising that my family constituency of North Norfolk has changed to the Tories after being a Lib Dem stronghold for nearly 2 decades.

I'm tired, I read that as lib dem stronghold for nearly 2 years first time round.

SNP take Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath(Gordon Brown's old seat).

[New Bremerton]

Chuka Umunna's out too. On the flip side, it looks like the constituency I used to live in may flip from Tory to Lib Dem. The Lib Dem challenger is former Labour MP Luciana Berger. Let's hope more of these traitors, leftists and antisemites are purged from the House of Commons.

Lol, who's he? I've stopped using my name on nsg.

We have to be pleased with whatever we get

[The Two Jerseys]

At least the BBC was kind enough to give us advance warning of Nicola Sturgeon...

[The Nihilistic view]

I don't think Swinson is that much of a shock because thinking about it she lost the seat in 2015.

[Greed and Death]

He's got into quite a lot of arguments with Bercow for being rude in Parliament and breaking protocol, like his whole "dodgy Dave" drama or his "half the Tories aren't crooks" nonsense

Good, 'parliamentary language' is far too stuffy.

you have not watched live streams of Parliament I take it.

[Souseiseki]

my seat is in. back up to SNP majority of 4900. not as bad as it could have been, but still, considering the majority used to be 60 labour must be very disappointed.

[Major-Tom]

Remember when Swinson thought she could become PM?

Good fucking riddance, I can’t stand her. She’s truly awful.

[Ifreann]

So it's to be SNPseiseki then.

[Elekted Godek]

The SNP has officially gotten more seats than they had before. They are at +1 for the night

[Shrillland]

Conservatives take Birmingham Northfield.

[Greed and Death]

this is a clear mandate for hard Brexit and to privatize the NHS.

[The Nihilistic view]

Into the home stretch, under 100 to go to 326. I'll go to bed once that happens I think.

[Dresderstan]

Oh God now we have to deal with a May interview.

annoying. i won't be comfortable going to bed until we're solid 50.
