whether or not labour wins in the end im glad corbyn's numbers are at least close enough now to clear out all the dipshit lunatic goons that spent the last four weeks agreeing with basically all of his policy positions while still whining about him being unelectable

the post-election aftermath is still going to be a pain in the rear end, but i'll burn that bridge when i get to it

i thought the polls for trump were bang on the money they just forgot that electoral college is a thing that exists

the national averages were close, but the state polls were off big time in the states that flipped the election

the issue was the there were a ton of undecideds, which meant that a poll result of hillary 45 trump 40 still had a reasonable chance of the undecideds breaking toward trump, which is what happened.

britain has the additional problem of all their polls being shite, at least in the eyes of noted slightly-better-at-predicting-elections-than-the-competition pollster 538

Okay so UK people - the intricacies of the parliamentary system.

What happens if no parties can agree to a majority coalition?

it seems to go into USA-mode where the party with the most seats gets to designate leaders but nothing new passes into law

apparently dissolution and the immediate scheduling of another election is also allowed but that would probably lead to rioting and general chaos

i dunno it's pretty illuminating about how deep the "i agree with corbyn's platform but am also ready to trash him for mysterious reasons" group will dig to keep whining even though their original electability complaints are falling by the wayside

rich people only want things that benefit themselves directly and immediately, which is why they always oppose welfare and other benefits for the working class even if they once used them.
