There were some unofficial Labour blokes at the station today trying to get people to sign a petition to get the Tories out. I sort of thought the petition was next week. e: 71 is the number of homeless people a Lib Dem vales as much as one politically homeless person.

So. If we get a hung parliament but the Tories are still the largest party, do they get a go at passing a Queen's Speech as a minority government, even if there's a viable Labour/SNP thing oven ready to put in the microwave?

sebzilla posted:So. In theory at least, only one coalition or party should be able to exist that could command enough votes to form a government. If the Tories get 324 seats but the Everybody But The Tories coalition have 326, the coalition gets a stab at it*. In practice of course it's a lot murky (especially with the existence of the loving Lib Dems) but generally nobody will go to the Queen unless they've got enough formal arrangements in place to *guarantee* passing a Queen's Speech. That was another of May's offences, btw - she told Her Maj that she had the DUP votes long before the bribes had all been negotiated, presumably in an attempt to head off getting shanked by her own party. *I'm ignoring the Speaker and Sinn Fein for the sake of easy arithmetic here.

I worry that Stewart may take us out of the EU and would rather seek to restore the house of Plantagenet.

quote:Though Jacobitism means the restoration of the House of Stuart to the throne of Scotland or the UK, the party was republican; leader Dr John Black told The Guardian that "It is an attempt to tie into the romance of Scottish history. Look, if you can rebrand Labour into New Labour, it is surely a minor matter to rebrand "Jacobite" as republican and non-religious".[2] The party's ideal Scottish republic would be outside the European Union but use the euro.[3] The party had three members – the minimum required under British law – and was entirely self-funded.[4] These guys were way loving ahead of their time, CUKTIG 2005.

Let them sell their spiel for a good ten minutes before I offloaded the last 4 decades of fuckings they have done to me and mine,as well as what they have done to all of the people who are at the bottom.

I think one of the most important things is trying not to get very cross at all the people who seem to think that once Corbyn is gone everything "goes back to normal". Why are these people so sure of it when they keep getting every other thing wrong?

If getting things wrong doubted their ability to be sure they wouldn't have jobs. I keep saying it but some people are limited in the sense they need observable reality to back up their beliefs, but some people are truly free, unfettered by mere things like "things right in front of your nose" or "their previous track record" and are capable of believing anything and everything they want to. These people are the takesmiths, hewing from the raw essence of etherial mindspace, the hottest takes to dispense to the lesser minds.

I think it's probably because they are just convinced that things were "normal" and "sensible" in the late 90's and early 2000's. But now they are faced with the slow collapse of their foundational idea and instead of trying to change or grow everything else must be sacrificed in order to prop up the failing structure of their own ego.

They mean when the internet was all about business opportunity and the common person had to shut up and digest the papes because the dream of owning a ferrari, flying concorde, and being invited to the executive lounge where suited men smoked cigars on their buttoned green leather chairs lit by brass lanterns hanging over oil paintings on the wall was real. Normal as in when you could tell people that they were going to have a house, a car, a safety net to support them, and they'd be able to do it with less tax and less regulation because the internet is real. Normal as in a time before we had to hear about austerity, poverty, the local effects of international conflict, where we could just throw out our hands and ajksadjhsadnmasdjfdsnlsfda ahjasdfljhasjdhvgjhasdmf]]a akhgbsdkjhgasdjkhbfjklhasgdfa AAAAAAAAYYYYY MACARENA

Working class kids threaten to send their dads to beat up other's dads. Posho kids actually send their dads to try and save them from some big fuckups. But seeing posho adults do the same is quite a thing.
