nothing to seehere posted:All together it makes ... 51.2% to leave. Actual result was around 56%. Of course, where those extra leave votes comes from is a mystery. Is this the exact same borders used for the general election? Not even slightly, it includes more rural areas as well as the cities (which tend to have a bigger Tory vote, even in the North - William Hague is an MP in North Yorkshire, for example, because it's all rural)

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/labour-crisis-alan-sugar-alistair-campbell-lead-anti-corbyn-campaign-1567898quote:Lord Alan Sugar and Alistair Campbell are two of the best-known names backing an online campaign to oust Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. The former Number 10 communications chief and the ex-Labour peer are urging hundreds of thousands of their followers on social media site Twitter to sign a 'Saving Labour' petition. And lo the Blairites surface.

It's interesting that the Parliamentary system basically causes an utter collapse in times of crisis since there really isn't a clear line of succession whereas the US line of succession works its way through VP/Speaker/Pro Tem/every cabinet position.

TACD posted:I didn't see this addressed, but Article 7 allows the EU to forcibly eject a member state if it severely breaks the law, commits human rights violations, and a couple of other similar things I think. There was a consideration of using against Hungary at one point. It just suspends certain EU laws with immediate effect and prevents the country from taking part in EU decision making, it doesn't actually eject it. The decision can be made based on a breakdown of law, democracy, human rights, those sorts of things.

The comment sections on their EU-related articles for the past few months, and even still now, have been full of people accusing the BBC of bias and refusing to acknoweldge the Leave campaign fairly. On one hand, it shows their userbase these days, on the other they happened to be completely justified.

It does mean that people all over the political spectrum get irrationally angry with it for being biased though. Especially in an age where people seem to expect magical unbiased sources.

What's even the point of this no confidence vote, is it some kind of prerequisite for a new leadership election, or are the Blairites just beating their chests and hoping that Corbyn doesn't understand his mandate?
