You know I think there ought to be a sociological study as to what magic loving power the tories have that it's so loving easy for them to convince people to eat poo poo and that they're the best ones to handle the disasters THEY committed and to say things like' no more human rights' and get away with it, Britain is an incredible petri dish of late-stage capitalist alienation and self- flagellation and post-democracy media control that it's incredible, but hey at least they're now quarantined out of Europe lol. This is assuming that they win, which I think they will because people loving suck and care more about the nuclear apocalypse than they do about having a decent living.

WeAreTheRomans posted:Guess I just fell into the trap of assuming UK is like Ireland. Where we just kind of half-heartedly wave the polling card at the old lady at the polling station. Id feel like a knob turning up with nothing though I turned up with nothing because my polling card never arrived and my passport is at my wife's place. It was fine, they let me vote, Full Communism Now, etc. Edit: if we went by this thread we would be setting up Workers' and Peasants' Soviets as we speak

Went down to vote with me dad. Polling station totally deserted apart from us, but I did see a bunch of Labour posters/placards set up on the way there, so that's hopeful at least  limited posted:Went down to mine firing text messages with my sister on when she's going to vote. Turns out she's going to vote against because she's fallen for the, 'Magic Money Tree' garbage.

Went and voted: Labour, in a very safe Labour seat (Swansea East). Saw a few other people around. This afternoon I'll be heading over the constituency border to see if there's anything I can do to help overturn this travesty. Paul.Power fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Jun 8, 2017 |

rather horrible having to vote for hillary benn but still there's a very weird anxiety that comes with the actual action of voting. the weird fear that you've maybe done something horribly wrong, despite the fact you just have to place a cross in a single box

If your read stuff about societies of the past you'll realize media control and capitalism is only half the reason. The other reason is humans can be horribly stupid. I've just read about the collapse of the Polynesian civilization on Easter Island and it's stupefying how some tiny branch of mankind on some forgotten island ran itself into the ground all on its own. The chapter ended with the professor retelling how his students all get super-depressed when they learn about Easter Island, since those guys essentially all had the same problems our modern societies have, just in tinier forms (and minus racism, since they were all alone on their tiny island). And they hosed themselves into oblivion. If May wins, I'll start calling Great Britain the "Easter Island of the 21st century".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReIAna459sg Off to vote as soon as me old Mam gets up, first time she's been convinced to vote in... ever. In a deep Tory oval office area of a Labour safe seat, hopefully it'll lead to some spectacular bellowing matches at the polling stations like last time.

Voted Labour. It was nice to vote for a half decent manifesto. Lurking here I get the sense I should either prepare for a 500 seat Tory reign of terror or full communism and free jam.

Just wanted to say I'm a long time lurker of this thread and the many before it, and as others have posted this is the first time I felt like I'm actually voting for something I believe in, rather than the lesser of two evils. Did my postal vote for Labour already as I work away from where I live the majority of the time, and I'll be getting shitfaced tonight in anticipation of the exit poll. Thanks for doing these threads guys and girls.

Voted Labour. I don't usually drink but the Scottish side of the family keeps giving us good booze so I'm cracking into it tonight with a pal. Gotta leave the mescal til the missus is off of antibiotics but I'm gonna hit the Jura hard, at least one thing about tonight will be pleasant. Chins up and bottoms up lads, first I gotta revise for my accountancy exam because if you can't beat the capitalists you gotta join em.

qhat posted:And how do you propose most people do that? Even skilled workers can hardly get visas to america. Infact so many people are so pissed off with brexit because it means they have less opportunity to jump ship if they wanted to. I married a yank, that works quite well. That said lol at the idea of moving from here to Trumpland because of the theory that America is more leftwing than the country that invented the NHS.
