Cloud Potato posted:Telegraph: As soon as there's only one person on the left side instead of four contenders, they're going to need to be more on the left than they are at the moment, especially as they all seem to have been drawn slightly smaller than Cameron for some reason. Alternatively, being further on the left, it'll take a smaller amount of effort by Labour to move Cameron downwards. Or, if they all move to the left then Cameron might start sliding down leftwards himself, or even fall off. Or maybe this whole flimsy see-saw system will fall apart, as it doesn't look like it's very well connected to that fulcrum there, and we can rebuild things into a system that doesn't require endless positioning with regards to some imaginary centre ground. This Good Cartoon has so many layers to it. Well done.

They are all sitting on the see-saw so that they can only move forward and backward. The only person who has a "left" option in that image is the union guy. You could even say that his (trade union) left is not that of the (Telegraph) reader. SO MANY LEVELS.

At least he's not as reliant on them as he used to be. I've seen a cartoonist in the times some time ago who was even more explicit with it, with 250 word speech bubbles and captions and 19th century spelling and capitalisations. Did the cabinet of the time in wigs and cravats as well, with the same linework and art style you'd see in Punch complaining about Napoleon and his bonny part. Anyone know who/what I mean?

Ichabod Sexbeast posted:Hey, Marie Antoinette wasn't bad looking Yes. But it's a cartoon and one would expect some exaggeration. Not only she looks conventionally attractive, she's not exactly a Maleficent. Riddell managed to show condemned issues (and SNPoodle) as scared and disgruntled in a comically exaggerated way, so it's strange to see the villain as a lady with a neutral expression, especially considering that old-timey style. He should have definitely made her look more obviously evil in my opinion, but otherwise it's a feast for the eyes.

I don't really understand the terrified and chained SNPoodle- is the media coverage of the SNP's MPs so different in England? Up here all we're hearing about is them clapping in the Commons after being told not to, posing for a photo in the place where the PM stands, and Mhairi Black being caught with a chip supper.

Zephro posted:He's got the SNP as Tory poodles again, like he did in the other cartoon when Cameron was holding them on a leash. I still don't understand what he's getting at. An outright Tory majority means the SNP might not have much influence, but they're not secretly being controlled by the Tories. It's odd. Well the Tories were able to use scaremongering about the SNP to drive voters away from labour, and without that they probably wouldn't have won, at least not outright. So I think he's going more for a 'useful idiot' angle about the election Who's that in the guillotine basket? I see a farage clown, and I think Clegg... is that Miliband or Leanne Wood on the right?

From what I heard they'd all but guaranteed the repeal of the fox hunting ban in England by refusing to vote on a matter that doesn't affect them. By yesterday they'd made noises suggesting they'd go back on that, but it's a bad sign for England and Wales if they stay out of topics that are devolved in Scotland.

That comment was a joke about coohoolin's limited range of media consumption, not the SNP in Westminster. What's really horrid about the SNP isn't the party, who are by and large decent, it's the way so many their supporters are fanatical devotees who treat a political party like an unquestionable tribal allegiance.
