Angepain posted:as an aside, I like how the addition of the gang tag makes it look like the big robot vehicle man is contemplating his imminent end by the ruthless hand of the winking jam lord. Please let me know if the big robot man pictured is one of the good big robot vehicle men or one of the bad big robot vehicle men so I know how to feel about this scenario, thank you. the robot man in my avatar is in fact reformed robot Stalin who's been written as robot Tony Benn, so he's a good robot man who became ultimate evil robot man but is now redemption seeking bad robot man

TheRat posted:Hell status: Frozen quote:Throughout the election I have communicated with Jeremy on a number of occasions. One was pretty robust: I was cross after horrid, vicious sexism towards me from his supporters. One time was after the exit poll and was more akin to the kind of text message that you send your mate who just snogged the fittest boy at a party. The rest of the time it was with genuine advice and guidance ahead of the debates or appearances. I told him what I was hearing on the streets and what might and might not work. To this, he responds well. Ugh. This is what pisses me of about certain Labour MPs. Their idea of a mea culpa is saying 'I got it wrong, but I was right to speak out'. No you weren't. You were wrong about everything. Your 'advice' about electability was terrible, your 'advice' that Jeremy should resign was anti-democratic bollocks and your constant briefings did enormous damage to the party. The idea that Jess Phillips is holding herself up as an example of how the party should go forwards is so arrogant it's practically unbelievable.

Its going to be interesting to see if the farmers on both sides can restrain themselves this year.

So, and this is pure hypothetical, can the Conservatives just not propose any legislation over the next 5 years? Like, if they are scared of not getting it through government, why not just put through small bills from various local causes that don't cause much of a fuss?

Josef bugman posted:So, and this is pure hypothetical, can the Conservatives just not propose any legislation over the next 5 years? That's basically their only chance at the moment. Do nothing contentious and try to hang on until the polls improve. Brexit looms however. MPs get frustrated when they clearly aren't achieving anything. People will ask what happened to the manifesto pledges. And a government that doesn't do anything will have a hard time improving it's poll rating.

If the Conservatives can't form a coalition government, what happens? What happens, like, mechanically. Is May still PM? you guys were saying another election would be called, does that happen automatically?

Not going to happen but I would laugh my rear end off to the moon if this tops off with the orangemen starting to march a lot more often in England after this.Guy Goodbody posted:If the Conservatives can't form a coalition government, what happens? What happens, like, mechanically. Is May still PM? you guys were saying another election would be called, does that happen automatically? She would form a minority government with the backing of the DUP if they can't form a coalition which would make more sense...but don't expect sense to be something the DUP & Tories are known for.

If nobody can form a government then Brenda dissolves parliament and calls for a general election. Secretaries of state including the PM keep their jobs until a new government and cabinet is set up.

Corbyn would have the opportunity to form a new government, if he failed there would be another election. In this instance May would continue to be PM for the course of the election as there would not have been a new government formed, and if any disasters were to occur in that time we would still need a PM.

Imagine being the EU diplomats right now. Britain's PM pulls the trigger on a two year countdown to negotiate an agreement to avoid economic disaster, and then takes two months off to have an election, "it's essential to have a big stable majority, the negotiations can't proceed without it." *Majority collapses* "Oh well we'll just negotiate everything with a fragile minority government that could collapse at any time over any little thing, it's fine."

Even putting aside how generally good for democracy they are, parliamentary systems are so loving entertaining.  I dig all the historical feuds too, it's pretty interesting.BTW, isn't Boris Johnson more of a W Bush figure, in that he might make boneheaded, bad, hated decisions and have odious politics but he's personally smart and well educated but pretends to be stupid for his rube base? What if the Troubles start up again? I mean, jesus loving hell...

Meanwhile in irredeemable fuckhead territory, Mandelson his written for the Mail on Sunday urging Labour MPs to back Theresa May if she offers to soften Brexit.Daily Mail posted:Writing in today’s Mail on Sunday, he says: ‘I believe that if [Theresa May] shows flexibility, most of the country will back her. It would be churlish for people like me and other Remainers not to give her political backing.’ Seems like he got over his sudden admiration for Corbyn quickly. For clarity, this is a former Labour cabinet minister and current Labour Lord calling on Labour MPs to prop up a loving Tory minority government if it offers them some concessions on Brexit. Because after all it would be churlish not to support the disabled-murdering cunts. jabby fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jun 11, 2017 |

Almost literally, insomuch as Boris Johnson is a highly educated and rich American politician that pretends to be more folksy and simple than he really is in order to gain popularity and enact terrible legislation for undead soul stealing conservative motherfuckers.
