Coohoolin posted:Well mostly I was interested in how uniform Scottish SA votes would be for the SNP and how much would go to the Lib Dems or Labour. I couldn't have come up with a more stereotype answer. Or, well, really, it should be litre.

SNAKES N CAKES posted:Only a single 66% vote or two 50%+ votes (two No Confidence votes 14 days apart) in parliament can dissolve parliament now. So essentially, a 50% vote can dissolve it, thanks to the power of the inevitable three-line whip.

The Supreme Court posted:Given what happened with the AV vote and that Clegg has already set his stall out to visibly lead a pro-EU campaign, I'd be bloody wary. The beauty is though, Tories have to be SEEN to support leaving the EU without actually doing so because they'd stand to lose a lot of money. So it wouldn't be a total smear campaign like the AV vote.

big scary monsters posted:I know that you're not doing it but people voting SNP in Scotland are certainly not to blame if the Tories get back in, it's an absurd argument. It's all the people who are voting loving Tory. Yup. Don't blame the people not voting Tory for the Tories getting power. Blame the people who did.

THATCHER BRAINWASH posted:At this point, I'm just thinking gently caress it, funniest government possible. Like if it's not going to be a left wing government, then gently caress it: Eric Pickles as PM with a big sandwich as deputy PM. "Number 10 is sorry to announce the deputy PM has been eaten. He has been replaced with an equally large sandwich, which Prime Minister Pickles has promised not to e-Number 10 is sorry to announce the deputy PM has been eaten..." gently caress this election. No good can come of it, and the poors will remain hosed forever and a day.

freebooter posted:Sorry but you can't really blame the young for being apathetic when FPTP and the House of Lords mean 90% of voters are effectively disenfranchised. And it's only going to get worse from here. For example, pretty much every young voter in Scotland is going to see how, even though we're essentially a single-party nation now, it's all for nought.

Rakosi posted:I have sympathy for that, but if I could choose either risking putting myself out on the street or risking putting 2 strangers out on the street, my family and friends and partner would take a dim view of it if I sacrificed myself. Maybe it is lovely Human nature but its not as cartoonishly evil as some hysterical leftist caricatures here are painting it. So what's the exchange rate of poor people's lives ruined, versus yours? How many people would you be OK with living on the street, compared to you doing the same?

Rakosi posted:It's nothing at all about being sympathetic, it's about strategising to appeal to left-leaning Tories. Sympathy is a luxury for the left at this point. Sympathy is only for the left because a main tenant of the right's philosophy is impoverishing and killing the most vulnerable in society.
