NRVNQSR posted:Honestly a government of national unity for the duration of the Brexit negotiations might not be the worst idea for the country right now. Would probably kill Labour for another generation, though. You could have a cross-party committee for Brexit, you don't need to have a full-on government. And frankly, gently caress voting for anyone else and getting tories, AGAIN

Angepain posted:I was about to say "did none of them remember anything about 2010", but on second thought I can see why someone would want to block that out I think it was "we'll have one of them coalition bollocks like we had in 2010" I explained that nobody has enough to form a coalition except the DUP and the DUP would have trouble with that they can't support brexit. Trin Tragula posted:To be fair, when this happened in Germany they formed a grand coalition and now Angela Merkel has a fair claim on the title "leader of the free world"... I did mention that the last time we did that was the national government and that was because the second world war was happening which might constitute unusual circumstances.

The way to play this would surely be the WWII gambit, in which Attlee ceded total control over the war effort to Churchill in exchange for a free hand in domestic policy. (Of course, Prime Minister, you're no Winston Churchill.)

An amazing result overall that might actually be better in the long term than a labour minority. However I'm still mad about seeing Angus Robertson, who is cool and good, losing to a smug 14 year old boy with a blue rosette.

Can a DUP Brexit even be called a Brexit? They want to keep everything the same, except for things the EU will not allow them to change in a million years.

Gort posted:You could have a cross-party committee for Brexit, you don't need to have a full-on government. I was actually thinking that earlier this morning, yeah; it's been clear for decades that the Europe issue just doesn't fit into UK party politics. Unfortunately I can't see any conservative leader being willing to sacrifice the sovereignty of Cabinet.

It's weird how people age 35-50 are apparently just so checked out of politics. Like, the "they should all sort it out" thing wasn't specifically brexit it was just politics in general. Like, they genuinely didn't seem to understand anything about why political divisions exist or even what the party positions are, just that "they're all looking out for our country so why do they need to fight?"

He's a massive oval office but watching his smugness of May being obliterated is a thing of beauty. After all the Labour infighting it's nice to see some Tory scrapping.

This way, they get the whole "landslide" narrative with all the good press that comes with it, the Tories have to get into bed with the DUP horrorshow, while tottering along looking terrible, before finally collapsing into a new election where Labour can gain even more and end up with a large margin of seats.

Captain Mediocre posted:Are there actually any residential areas for normal people anywhere in Kensington? How does this even happen North Kensington isn't quite Kensington and Chelsea, traditionally it's always returned Labour councillors. Redistricting that placed Chelsea with Fulham reduced Tory strength a bit as well and Kensington was massively Remain. I went to the polling station yesterday despite never having had my candidate get within 1/3 of the majority needed. Glad to see my vote might have actually mattered!

For someone who was asking about new MPs Lloyd Russell-Moyle is a proper good lad and would be fully behind Corbyn, they spoke together at a rally in Brighton before the last leadership election (Peter Kyle didn't turn up).

My hope is that Theresa May just won herself 6-18 months of constant bad press followed by another election where nobody can seriously say that Corbyn doesn't have a chance and everyone's already heard the complaints against, yeah.

Yeah, Gen X definitely seems to be the most clueless. I am reminded of an interview I attended with a company that was probably a scam where they said that we're generation X+ or something, and that generation X only interacted with as many as two technology a day, whereas we have as many as six technology.
