pumpinglemma posted:Trump is absolutely not sharper than he lets on. He makes far too many unforced errors for that, to the point where I'm fairly sure he has a degenerative mental illness. Yeah. Trump may have been decently intelligent at some point in the past but these days his brain is swiss cheese, to the point that he gets distracted mid-speech and starts waiving at boats, or leaves signing ceremonies midway through because he forgot why he was there (both things that have happened).

CelestialScribe posted:I don't understand. I don't live in the UK and am trying to get a grasp - the Cons fall just short of a majority but sneak through with the Lib Dems as a minority government, yeah? Isn't that the most likely outcome? AS I understand it, basically: 1) two months ago it was looking like reagan-mondale 2) now it's basically even with a slight conservative lean 3) the lib dems might be better off not winning outright right now because they don't want to end up owning the Brexit aftermath which will be horrible

OwlFancier posted:It's weird how people age 35-50 are apparently just so checked out of politics. Like, the "they should all sort it out" thing wasn't specifically brexit it was just politics in general. Like, they genuinely didn't seem to understand anything about why political divisions exist or even what the party positions are, just that "they're all looking out for our country so why do they need to fight?" For a long time people have been able to mostly check out of politics (especially over in England since you have the NHS). The 35-50 year olds (and I'm in that camp) grew up in a world where politics was mostly a team sport hobby that didn't matter that much for most people. The kids these days have grown up in a world where politics matters massively and they're getting massively hosed over by politicians. Good on them for caring more. The kids are alright.

H2Omelon posted:Remember when during Cameron's resignation the overall feeling was that it would be looked back on as the largest political own goal in British history? Surely this has got to be even worse. The sheer arrogance and incompetence that lead to this Tory self-destruction is mind boggling. I'm starting to wonder if there isn't some unifying field theory of right wing incompetence, like how Umberto Eco pointed out that fascists always start wars they will lose because they're incapable of viewing their enemies objectively.

CottonWolf posted:There was never a viable left wing coalition with this parliamentary maths. Tories + DUP is a majority, and they'd always have No Confidenced something with Corbs at the head, even if they weren't formally working together. So wait This is all sounding eerily reminiscent of Trumps electoral college win. May only has a majority because Sinn fein's refusal to sit skews the representative population rightward?

kustomkarkommando posted:If an amendment passes she has been defeated in her Queens Speech. Its not a formal no confidence so the government doesn't collapse by law, but convention in this matter would be that she is absolutely 100% hosed and the pressure on her to tender her resignation would be overwhelming. If that happens do they then have another election right away or what

Ludicro posted:Sorry I should specify this was my parents house. I moved back a few years ago after my relationship broke down and I lost my flat, since then I bounced back, met my current girlfriend and have spent a few days a week there while we house hunt as it's a 20 minute walk from work rather than a 37 mile drive. That kind of thing is unfortunately what happens when people who've bought whole hog into the right wing narrative get smacked in the face with reality. Cognitive dissonance translates into panic anger. Sorry man.
