OK, thanks guys, one more question, and I apologize because it is a very ethnocentric one. Though I am sure there are many many factors, including her being an out of touch wheat running moron, do you think a part of this is a global reaction to Trump? Like is the rest of the world recoiling at what we've done and making sure you're not doing the same? I noticed a sense of this in the french election as well. I am not saying America is responsible for everything but just curious if our current admin is in some way acting as a global immunization to stupid government.

not sure May has really put any thought into clinging on, she can't possibly believe that she can stabilize the ship maybe she's just been awake for too long

It's funny, I googled Albert Steptoe and Jeremy Corbyn and apparently the Daily Mail et al tried to make a thing of comparing Corbyn to Albert Steptoe like that was a bad thing. I'm not British but I'd vote Steptoe for MP, even if his son was a knob.

Theresa May had stunning approval ratings at the start. She's just so bad at campaigning and Jeremy is so good at it that she was able to catastrophically lose that lead.

It's a reaction against the last couple of elections, and their results were inspired by some of the same factors that boosted Trump, but beyond that no.

Grouchio posted:Can someone explain to me what would come of May forming a coalition with the DUP? She tries to get a soft border with Ireland knowing that the EU won't agree, the EU tells them to go gently caress themselves, the DUP pulls out of coalition and Theresa suffers a vote of no confidence and potentially a new general election.

Knifegrab posted:OK, thanks guys, one more question, and I apologize because it is a very ethnocentric one. I dunno actually, I don't think it's a major factor but there's pretty much universal revulsion of Trump in this country and the pictures of him and May holding hands were widely used to attack her. I think Trump also gives a smidge of energy to young activists as he so obviously represents all that's vile and moronic in the world. He's a big target and association with him is anathema to them.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea of Trump being an influence. People do tend to assume that the way things have been in the recent past will inevitably continue in the future, and this contributes to electoral apathy. Trump/Brexit have demonstrated that unexpected results are possible, and that voting makes a genuine difference. That lesson will have most formative to younger voters.

Grouchio posted:Can someone explain to me what would come of May forming a coalition with the DUP? the DUP while pro brexit are also pro peace process. The RoI said it isn't going to do any bullshit "the UK border is actually on the RoI coastline" system, which means that the DUP are probably going to demand freedom of movement on some level. Additionally, the DUP are literally the equivilent of Sinn Fein so they're the political arm of the various Protestant paramilitaries that existed in the UK. Now the DUP is relevent this is going to get a spotlight shined on it *repeatedly* and theresa may is going to have to explain why exactly she loves being in government with terrorists. the DUP are also right wing lunatics who hate abortion, the gays, gay marriage, any kind of equality for the LGBT community and additionally once called for all the catholics to be ejected from ulster. They're basically the BNP, if the BNP was irish and called the INP.

Knifegrab posted:Hey guys, sorry I am a stupid American trying to understand everything that is happening so could someone please correct me where I am wrong? In addition to everything, imagine if Bernie was actually leader of the Democrats. Imagine, if you will, all the naysaying press from the center-liberals about how he's a bad person, he's far too left, the country will never vote for him, he's unelectable, he'll lead Democrats to the destruction of their party, lots of his own party members in Congress were against him despite the actual party members voting him into power, etc. And then, when it comes down, Bernie still doesn't win outright, because he had to come back from a full mile behind due to all the negative press, but he still got the Democrats their biggest increase in vote percentage since Franklin Roosevelt and he's now being mentioned in the same breath as Roosevelt and leaves the Republicans sitting in bed with Tea Partiers, some of whom might just be former domestic terrorists. That's Jeremy Corbyn, the Absolute Boy.

May has to somehow juggle DUP anti-gay anti-catholic extremists and Scottish Tories, led by a lesbian engaged to an Irish catholic in order to have a chance of her government not collapsing. Then add in the rest of the party's deep divisions over europe, and she's basically doomed. The only thing uniting the Tories is the prospect of Prime Minister Corbyn

I really didn't see the handholding being used in the election. Hell the climate agreement came up more and that didn't come up much. I really hope the Tories doing so well in Scotland is cos ScotLab are so poo poo (Lib Dems too), and if they get cool and good people running things it will look up. Also well done to Angepain for leaping on that one before I did

For what it's worth we've generally stopped pointing out who used to be a terrorist here in NI. We'd never get anything done otherwise. Not that we get much done.
