May is exactly the kind of person who would have followed the rules and wouldn't have even been told about any parties because she would 100% have grassed.

Spangly A posted:Tory party has been popular vote as far back as I can remember atm, that's how Leadsom got to the final round against May Nah it's popular vote of the membership between two candidates selected by the parliamentary party through a runoff vote (there's a round of votes, least votes drops out, repeat until two are left). Often by that point the 2nd place person drops out "for the good of the party" - i.e. they know they're never going to win so they drop out in the hope of avoiding being purged too hard by the obvious winner - Leadsom took this route against May and got to be Leader of the House, Hunt didn't against Johnson and was exiled to the back benches.

If Johnson is kicked out in a leadership battle, it'll be interesting to see exactly where the dividing line is between "The PM should be a proper Tory who hates fun and is dedicated to crushing people I don't like" and "I... ain't going to vote for one of them people. You know. I'm not a racist, but... them."

"There is a Asian family just bought the house at the end of our garden, but it's ok because he's a doctor"

My gut feeling is that British people generally are more classist than racist. Tories would be fine with a none-white PM as long as they wore a nice suit, went to the right schools, had an Eton accent and gave off 'sensible businessperson' vibes. Compared to America where large amounts of people lost their poo poo over Obama I'm probably wrong though

Has the nation finally had enough of Tory scandals? Zoe Williams says this is it friends the tories are going to lose it all and my hope is that kenny labour gets run over by Jeremy Corbyn and a true beacon of leftism gets the top spot before the next election.

They've sacrified a Dehenna Davison, a brand new Tory MP to the Marr show as literally no senior MP wanted to go on. She has immediately gone off message by agreeing that the party fiasco will mean people won't follow the rules.

Honestly, I'm intrigued about who they'll get to replace him (unless they already announced it). Oh god, Andrew Neil's out of TV work at the moment, isn't he?

True since 1998, apparently, and there's been a vote of MPs before that since the 60s. That's what did for Thatcher, she got leadership challenged and won the initial vote of the MPs but by a narrow enough margin it was clear she was toast.

Failed Imagineer posted:the premiere of Johnny English in Apr 2003 led to an epidemic of British loving which resulted in a huge spike in births Jan 2004 - the so-called "Johnny English Generation". It's theorized that the economic hardship of raising these disgusting ill-conceived children may have pushed some voters towards nationalist ideologies That isn't actually even the introduction of Johnny English, he was adverts for Barclays Bank first.

feedmegin posted:That isn't actually even the introduction of Johnny English, he was adverts for Barclays Bank first. You've just reminded me that Ben Elton wanted to write a movie about the Gold Blend couple, allegedly out of jealousy of how much money Richard Curtis made off The Tall Guy in between series 3 and 4 of Blackadder. I think the fact he got knocked back means we're not in the absolute Darkest Timeline, although his diversion into the loving awful jukebox musical genre makes that a hard call to make.

The gently caress is he doing? What does he think he's supposed to be doing? I don't think he's had an original thought of his own since he's been in charge. He's entirely driven by some god drat zoomer tech-bro advisor team. Like Cummings but they're vegan and donate to animal charities.

learnincurve posted:Take off the tie Keith. Please don’t let Keith’s old chap flop out. I definitely hate Keith more than the Tories, as I, on a human level, kind of hate liberals more than fascists. Obviously fascists are far worse people and their agenda more toxic, but it’s a good old fashioned honest kind of evil. It’s evil but it isn’t irritating. It’s like how Sauron is ultimately the bad guy, but you hate that whiny little prick Denethor more.

May has the bad kind of diabetes, so you can bet your rear end the airports would have immediately been shut and we would have gone into total lockdown. Because a Tory's first instinct is to look after number 1.

Reminds me of an article I read about how Trump supporters want to be friends and partners with liberals but the sentiment is not returned for obvious reasons, and comes to mind how much it explains that right wingers are as obnoxious and miserable to be around to each other as they are to everyone else.
