I can't vote I hope the people of this country loving wake up and Labour wins AD 303 - Emperor Diocletian launches the last major persecution of Christians in the Empire. A bad time was had by all. Pochoclo fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 29, 2019 |

Josef bugman posted:Also I am very tired, I think that playing Disco Elysium is (whilst fun) bumming me out a bit because I have no idea if I am doing things right. I'm not really sure there's a wrong way to play. I just finished it and am looking forward to using CheatEngine to scum my way through all the dialogue choices so I can have an "optimal" playthrough with all successes, but it's not like I was unsatisfied with my own playthrough. I'd also maybe like to do an absolute shithead playthrough, going for liberalism rather than Mazovian Good Lad. I will say, for a game that has quite so much death, it'd be nice if it autosaved more often. I had to retrace my steps a lot because I kept forgetting to save frequently.l

It'll be interesting to see if the Tories get their wish for a Brexit election. They're right that people are sick of it, but there's a real chance that means they're sick of talking about it during an election campaign and want to talk about something else instead.

They just say 'Boris will sort em all out' and 'that Corbyn better not come round here the dick'. You could literally tell them Boris is going to nonce their beloved grandchildren and they would still vote for him. Just have to hope the wave of newer voters outnumbers this old school 'sports team' style thinking.

So what was the actual point of the FTPA? It seems like the whole point of a parliamentary system is that either the PM or the opposition calls elections on a regular basis when governing breaks down, instead of having a regular schedule. The FTPA supposedly "got rid" of that, but is that actually better? Also it seems like part of the point of the act was to dilute a PM's power to control the timing of elections, so the whole process was more "fair". But isn't the whole mess that's going on right now basically coming from the PM deciding on the date of an election? What did the legislation actually do in effect, other than add additional predetermined dates for elections if governments don't break down for other reasons?

Supermajorities to avoid the government holding too much power, balancing back to legislature. Parliament has decided that there’ll be an election, not the Executive

Of course the true pro way is to post an image hosted on a server you control (or at least can control the naming of files on) and change the image. I might have done this more than once on slower-moving forums.

Crossing over from the pissflaps thread, but: my normally very Tory aunt in Tunbridge Wells is voting LD this time round and thinks that they will unseat the conservatives. So while I think it’s a good idea to vote Labour in *almost* any circumstances, if it’s a close Tory/LD race and Labour is very very distant third, maybe worth tactical voting on the grounds that 90% likely to be poo poo is better than 100% guaranteed to be poo poo. That said, my constituency is super Labour, but I worry about LD effect there. Fingers crossed all that strategic ambiguity doesn’t bite us in the arse.

The Lib Dems on Newsnight seriously suggesting they'll win a majority and Jo Swinson can be PM. And then we revoke Article 50 and "never talk about Brexit again". Utter, utter delusion.
