I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

lol I posted the article saying that there is no appetite for centrism in Labour and one of my melt Facebook friends replied with "well actually the Lib Dems increased their vote share more than any other party"

yes, a result so good your leader resigned before all the results had even come in

The most insane thing about this is how Lib Dem voters don't get how spoiler votes work, even after all the talk about tactical voting. You only cared about one thing and you just ended up deciding in favor of the worst possible thing you could want. loving perverts.

they understand how spoilers work just fine. we through around "vote lib dem get Tory" expecting this to be a disincentive, forgetting that's literally why liberals exist.

after he did ok in 2017 i thought well maybe brits are weird and they want boring stiff upper lip types but i guess not

i dont think corbyn was fine, thats sorta the wakeup message here.

maybe that wouldnt have mattered if we'd have had a solid brexit plan

you lost like 30% voteshare across the board to the brexit party and like 3% to lib dems and the takeaway is that libs being libs and running from corbyn was a bigger problem than labour taking a cretinous centrist "all sides" position on brexit with deadlines looming

Beware the ninja

Found out that a lad I went to school with voted Tory.

Two years ago he had a life saving lung transplant on the NHS.

Can anyone think of a bigger "gently caress you I got mine"?

I did manage to get a Tory leaver to vote labour by saying they could vote leave again on the 2nd referendum, and the leave deal would be by someone who wasn't an utter oval office.

He is pissed at me for getting him to " vote for a loser"

I tried guys :(

corbyn wasn't a particularly strong candidate but that's a point or two of swing. the campaign was mostly fine, though it lacked one really big focus. the problem was not really the campaign, it was that the political moment was mishandled - possibly it couldn't have been handled properly at all, given political reality, but there it is

Yeah, the referendum really was a coup for the right. Brexit is basically a 50/50 issue, but campaigning on remain was never going to win because some percentage of remainers were :decorum: voters who had no stomach for overturning the referendum, and campaigning on leave was never going to win because it's the other party's platform. Even if you take a tack of "this guy's a twat who will sell you out, we'll get you a better deal" a large swath of your own party is fundamentally opposed to Brexit and would be unenthusiastic at best.

I mean that classmate is on a cocktail of immune system suppressant drugs for the rest of his life, so unless he's rolling in dosh, he ain't going to live longer than his next stint of unemployment, given that the NHS is consumed. IIRC, it's several thousand a month, back in in the mid 2000s.

I suspect your classmate voted for their death, in a very real sense. It's a very :votegop: thing.
