Ratjaculation posted:So what does a minority government mean? Does he need a GE now? Minority government just means that he can't pass anything solely on the basis of his own party's support. He needs another party to vote for it as well. Technically he was already in this position because his majority depended on the DUP, but now he doesn't even have that.

Funny how many people think that Liberal means 'let people do what they want' rather than 'let business do what it wants'

Failed Imagineer posted:Is it going to be a continuous rotation, or do we expect Darwinian action to prune out the betas to form a stable elite cadre of political jokemen and jokewomen? Intention is to keep it rotating with whoever wants to be involved, but some natural thinning may occur if people decide it isn't for them.

Absolutely, making sure we do have a diverse cast from this diverse community is v important to us, and this came up during the planning meetings Rarity has already expressed interest in joining in after we're a few episodes in, and isn't the only one interested, I'd encourage anyone who wants to join in to do so! This is the UKMT Podcast, and it should reflect the UKMT as much as it can.

The Tory MP defecting to the Lib Dems doesn't make it even in Parliament, it puts the Tory/DUP alliance into a minority government of -1.

I feel like this tells you how sincere they were about kicking people out of the party when someone takes him up on it early and ABdP Johnson just straight melts down.

Only technically, because there's at least 1, maybe 2 Tory MPs who lost the whip but would still vote with the Tories because they are cunts.

They split the Tory vote more than the Labour one, and spite is a powerful motive (which, uhh, can be seen on what's Labour done in 2015 campaigning against them in LibCon marginals). e: I'm not talking about not bringing up them betraying their ideals wrt Brexit or otherwise where the pressure would have positive results in pushing their policy towards good ends.
