If you read her Twitter it’s genuinely impossible to tell if she is a real chud or a deep cover troll. the way she posts is completely indistinguishable from leftist parodies of chuds

they treated labour as a joke last time because they thought there was no way he could win. they learned their lesson and also that laws to protect elections in the UK are a joke

they also learned that end stage conservative manifestos are such wank that they must do anything in their power to stop reporting on them, as they believe that May lost it last time because of her manifesto promises

Kurtofan posted:so i gather the media has learned on how to deal with corbyn since the last election eh imo establishment opposition has hardened somewhat, and they've discovered that antisemitism sticks so they can run with that. on the other hand, labour's campaign office is actually united and are clearly running a pretty good campaign atm, which they weren't really before. first they focused hard on increasing turnout, which was very good indeed, and they've shown themselves willing to be a bit cynical about manipulating the agenda and using populist rhetoric. if this ends with anything but a tory majority the 2019 labour campaign is going to be remembered as an absolute masterclass in the genre, on par with the 2008 obama campaign. if they actually win a majority, everyone involved in the campaign are going to be wanted in every centre-left campaign team for the foreseeable future. at any rate, the simple fact that there's room for a 10-point increase in vote share over the course of a campaign suggests that there's something very, very wrong

Has that ever happened before? uncharted constitutional territory but the closest parallel is cabinet ministers losing their seats, and they resign as soon as that is clear that said, there is strictly speaking no requirement that the pm be an mp—just the strong implication that they are expected to be one at the time they become pm

pretty sure the tories changed their internal rules so their leader has to be an MP and therefore the PM does

If Bozo does lose his seat they'll parachute him into another safe Tory seat and hold a by-election.

A lot of the constitution was explicitly not written down especially when it came to the President because the Framers knew George Washington would be the first President and figured that he would just set the precedent and everyone who came after would respect Washington so much that they would just follow his precedents like they were actual law

I expect they would just appoint him to the Lords and he can remain as PM from there. Hasn't been done for over 100 years but there is precedent.
