Didn't the last coalition deal need to be approved by the membership? That's got to be a non-starter, surely.

Even the lib dems aren't stupid enough to go into coalition with a party they have no common ground with when the progressive alliance was one of the main things helping them cling onto seats. Never underestimate what the Lib Dems will do for an entirely unmerited relevance

Serene Dragon posted:There are 1399 empty houses in Kensington according to the news. We have loving homeless people in this country and a single loving borough in London has nearly 1400 empty loving homes. as someone that knows a bit about RBKC this is probably a massive underestimation based on self-reports for paying more tax. I would put the real number at least 5000 maybe all too 20000 or above, no one really knows. ofc that number still a massive under representation when you consider that lots of those will be 6+ bedroom houses.

A free vote on whether or not to have a second brexit referendum in two years that won't pass? They now know how being in coalition works.

A free vote on whether or not to have a second brexit referendum in two years that won't pass? They now know how being in coalition works. The same that was in it for them last time. Power, privilege, and that liberal fascination with being 'reasonable'. Sure, it'd destroy them, but I don't think any of us believe the political class is even capable of thinking that far ahead any more. Clegg didn't sell us out for a vote on PR: he sold us out for the ministerial limo. e:  May has showed up at Newsnight at no notice, desperately trying to spin this

EmptyVessel posted:Corbyn needs to nationalise squatting. That, and he could fund via taxation a housbuilding program with a target of 300,000 social houses a year, while seizing vacant and second homes nationwide until every single person in the country has the dignity of a safe and affordable roof over their heads. If the state cannot provide even the basic essentials of existence it has no business existing itself.

Oh well, turns out the government's not to blame, they acted strongly and stabley when they wrote to landlords "asking them to consider" fitting sprinkler systems.

No that makes sense, see, the tories also want to replace police with suggesting to criminals not to murder people, and fire services with standing outside burning buildings and tutting at the inferno.

OwlFancier posted:Not sure I approve of brenda putting on the surgical gloves before touching the paups tbh. Jumping in to defend Are our majesty here on this one. Turns out that a lot of the unwashed masses are actually unwashed, or at least don't wash their hands after they have been to the toilet. If you go to a celebrity signing what they do to avoid getting sick is have antibacterial hand wipes with them. It comes as quite the shock to a lot of people "I will never wash my hand again!..oh oh my god that's so rude!" Her royal highness avoids offending people by wearing gloves at all times in public and they excuse it as protocol.

It's also not uncommon for politicians, etc., to get wrist injuries from all the handshakes.

It was so blatant and Emily looked like she wanted to punch her In the end she said thank you in a really quiet disappointed voice and there was the briefest flicker of guilt on May's face. Nice contrast with the way she kept loving smiling while she delivered her spiel
