UK Politics Thread X: Upcoming Local Elections in May

[The Archregimancy]

Well, much like Jeremy Corbyn, we won the argument.

Actually, I thought the more apt comparison was the May 1990 Bootle by-election - with the NIP in the role of the continuing SDP.

[The Nihilistic view]

According to the BBC

"What is significant is that Conservative MPs are about to vote for who they want to lead the 1922 Committee – the Tory institution with so much influence over the leadership.

If enough of them vote for candidates willing to change the rules on when another contest can be held, it could cause a huge headache for Johnson."

This should be interesting.

So changing the rules for a do-over vote on BORIS OUT is OK but a do-over vote on Brexit is the worst thing ever.

That's because brexit is the greatest achievement of these Isles since Fred Dibnah last climbed a chimney.

Congrats to the lads in the NIP for their *checks notes* 84 votes.

Almost 1100 votes fewer than the Yorkshire Party (1182 votes).

I believe both you and I have personally gotten more votes in local council elections than the NIP got. (I actually got more council votes than the Green Party candidate in Wakefield)

SPICE ACHIEVED

I tried changing the title to a few different things but none of them sat right so just changed the original title a little bit.

Well, much like Jeremy Corbyn, we won the argument.

Well there’s already a airport strike and a rail strike. A general strike might not be far behind.

I wonder if the Peoples United Republic of Britain will be a thing.

Because we signed a deal with the Rwandan government to deport all refugees that come here there.

Since the By-elections are said and done, anyone got any ideas for a new poll?

[Emotional Support Crocodile]

Much as I like the Lib Dems I wish they would stop with the prop based humour - doors shutting, walls being knocked down, and balloons bursting. I just think of Miliband's bloody stone tablet every time.

How long will the silly-haired cunt in charge last before he's too embarrassing for his own party to keep

[Shamhnan Insir]

Potentially a short lived poll but what about "likely candidates for Conservative Party Chair or Ethics Advisor", or you know, one of those other positions they clearly don't give a flying arse about.
