welfare queen literally was invented to create a lie about lazy poors living high on the hog. If you wanna use a word that's always been an insult to describe someone just call her a oval office or something, it's way more bang for the shock value buck and it's regionally fitting.

half an hour before the exit polls lads

I'm prepping both celebration and sorrow drinks, it's easy because it's just two large gin and tonics but one has more lime in it.

I think lime is the good one? We'll see how the night goes.

Ok, so I'm the dumb American, but how are these numbers good news? I have a very poor understanding of how the UK parliament works

Tories went from the majority party to a much weaker majority in a hung parlament. Memes aside the idea of some huge Labour sweep would have been absurdly out of reach, it's the best realistic option and it completely crushes any idea of a mandate May and hers may have.

Also it rules because this whole thing was her idea and she's almost certainly gonna be pushed resign.

that's like saying if the exit poll is even WRONGER than the results show the Tories could just take literally every seat.

about a 7 so far on a 1-10 scale

so the libdems are gonna gently caress the tories over enough to keep them out of majority but UK will likely be saddled with a hung, centrist leaning, parliament that can't do much more than keep PM BoJo from sticking his pecker in the light socket in public?

It's a little embarrassing that even as someone in close proximity to Scotland I don't know more about them but they're not bad. Scottish nationalism is just pretty lefty and so there was a big swing from Labour to the SNP up there last time, letting the tories be very smug, and I hate that.

yea from the little I know about them their nationalism tends to be just 'hey it'd be cool if we weren't vassals in 2017' instead of 'get the immigrants out' so they seem cool by me.

bawfuls posted:

So the right wing party in Northern Ireland is happy to caucus with the Tories, but the left wing party in Northern Ireland has a hard policy of protesting the UK and thus doesn't take their seats. This has the effect of making it easier for Conservatives to form a government.

Is that about right? Leftists ratfucking themselves out of power as usual?

Kinda but to be fair this is like an ironclad ethos of theirs that they've never budged no matter who was on top for ages. It results in situations like this, sure, but it's hardly an active ratfucking of one specific group.
