Irony Be My Shield posted:Under 18-24 year olds are polling like 70% Labour, and the next age group is also pretty heavily Labour. This thread is about what you'd expect, the only age group with a lot of Tories is 65+ and they don't post on the internet that much. Introduce internet only voting.

learnincurve posted:We need an age cap. If your average life expectancy means you probably won't last a full term, then you don't get a vote. Sensible older people will see the logic, it will be the OLD, LOUD, AND FRIGHTENED who kick off about it and they are exactly the people we want to exclude. Boomer generation are now firmly in this category. Happy birthday to this guys nan

My Tory friend is now telling me he wants to vote for "anyone but May", I figure he's a reasonable weathervane for the business Tory sort so I'm dangerously close to hope. I'm going to go take an ice bath while repeating "FPTP, FPTP" over and over.

As far as I can tell just from overheard gossip everybody who's actually invested in the tory party in any way absolutely despises her. Unless she somehow conjures up a massive majority against all predictions (not impossible given the shitness of our polling companies) she's probably going to be out in under a year. Just squeaking through with a narrow win won't save her at this point.

goddamnedtwisto posted:https://twitter.com/MSmithsonPB/status/870066949417570305 A lot of people locally think Hastings and also Kemptown will go to Labour but the main difficulty with that is the UKIP vote going straight to the Tories which blows any hope of that out of the water. It blows my mind that anyone in Hastings would vote Tory, turkeys voting for Christmas etc.

with endorsements like these, who needs enemies? https://www.ft.com/content/67949e4a-45e2-11e7-8d27-59b4dd6296b8 quote:Far from being strong and stable, Mrs May has looked curiously brittle. She has failed to offer a credible picture of what life outside the EU’s single market and customs union will look like, let alone the economic trade-offs that will inevitably form part of the Brexit end-game. The opposition Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership has been equally vague. Both sides have engaged in a conspiracy of silence.

TACD posted:So "I'm very clear" is the new "strong and stable"? I think the only reason Cameron appeared to be such an effective Conservative leader is that his "long term economic plan" Markov chain seed was four words while the rest of them can only manage three. The old, if anything. Tony Blair and Hogfucker both said "Let me be clear" so many times during their tenures I have a knee-jerk response to assume that whatever comes next is trite or bollocks. Usually both.

I haven't read that article, but I'm going to assume that the radical centre is described as a logical, pragmatic form of governance that's above the petty ideological concerns of the left and the right because politics is just a series of problems solved by people getting together in a room and talking things out and making decisions?

peanut- posted:Hastings is genuinely the most grim and deprived town centre I've ever visited in Britain. Hastings-chat, finally something I'm qualified to talk about. The town centre itself is an absolute hellhole, but ten minutes walk in any direction is generally lovely. And while the old town (musicians, retired fishermen and drunk divorcees/widows, it's fun) is increasingly gentrified, it's all still predominantly Labour. It's Rye and the surrounding countryside that's Tory, and as much as my mum doesn't like her, Amber Rudd has apparently been a visible and proactive local MP, so I'd be amazed if there was enough of a shift to swing it back to Labour. It was 55% leave, which was probably at least in part down to  fishing quotas, but everyone I've spoken to about it has looked incredibly sheepish if they've admitted voting that way. I get the impression that they hoped it would come across as a protest vote, rather than actually wanting the result.

With the British election becoming a horse race I've taken an inventory and realized I'll be happy with any outcome. A Labour win would be good for Britain and the world, with the caveat that Corbyn has a few troubling and disgusting similarities to our own piss-soaked commander-in-chief, notably moral cowardice when it comes to nuclear deterrence, and a quisling/judas streak when it comes to NATO and our enemies. He might well counteract any harm he did there by making the brexit considerably 'softer' though. A Europe more integrated is a Europe better able to resist and counter the enemies of democracy. Also my British friend, an arch Tory, would have to eat poo poo pretty much forever. A Tory win would mean all the political entertainment a full English red white and blue no-deal brexit would bring, and deliver to the British the full serving of woe they deserve for their referendum. It might also help discredit and put back into its hole the basket of deplorables that far-leftism carries around on its back. A hung parliament / inconclusive election would probably be the most entertaining and interesting outcome of all.
