well it's hard to tell. i can't find the tweet. i'm not sure if they mean if they dont get a (good?) deal there will be no coalition or no coalition at all, which is the mesasging i've gottem from LD and SNP. which i personally don't believe for a moment.

e: i imagine it's towards labour. it would be very difficult to suffer another conservative coalition i imagine considering the last one, and since this one will be brexit.

So far the Yougov 302 Tory - 269 Labour poll has been holding up very well (and if anything underestimating Labour support)

Early days yet, but my god I want to believe

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

Ok, another question from a dumb American.

I thought for the UK parliament you just voted for a party nationwide, and then they got X percent of the seats based on the results? Is that wrong or is that in addition to counties/districts (IDK the correct term) having a local MP?

Each constituency uses a first past the post system. You're voting for a PM that represents your constituency, not for a party to represent the whole nation.

It's the exact opposite
