Results inconclusive. Suggest a further round of tests with exponentially increasing sample size.

One big advantage of testing with smaller animals is that they breed fast, don't take up much space and are relatively cheap once your breeding line is established. Humans take too long to reach maturity (and human testing is anyway a massive, massive pain in the arse thanks to people generally being unwilling to live at the laboratory and having to be treated with dignity, rights etc.).

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.

I don't see why not. Something really tangible like an email leak showing clear ties between farage and putin could turn it in to a pretty palatable position for a lot of people.
I have zero actual evidence for what I'm about to say, but something tells me your average brexiteering kipper wouldn't be too phased by Farage being bezzie mates with Putin, because Putin's the kinda strongman arsehole that a lot of kippers think is great. Even criminal collusion to rig an election probably wouldn't both them too much, because who would Farage be stitching up in this scenario? A bunch of traitors who hate britain!

Capitalism.txt, 1905 edition:

quote:

"[Our long established privilege] is that outside the metropolitan area all land covered by water or Railways is exempted from 3/4 of the General District Rate. This is only fair because the Docks do not get any advantage from public expenditure on Roads, Sewage, Lighting, Police, Public Libraries, Baths, etc. Already we pay in Woolwich £7000 a year in rates and get no advantage and no representation, and if this Bill passes we shall have to pay £1100 a year more with absolutely no compensatory advantage. It does not seem fair thus to penalise Dock and Railway companies."

There's a distinct 'who cares' attitude to the campaign right now, and it seems to be working really well.

I mean Thornberry was sacked from Ed's shadow cabinet and forced to make an apology for a tweet The Sun took offence to. Today she told a journalist their question was stupid and yesterday she spontaneously gatecrashed the interview of a Tory cabinet minister. She's loving it.

There's a sort of easy confidence about Labour right now. That coupled with a manifesto that's really progressive in a lot of areas (even if it's not everything I could hope for) and this might be the most positive I've felt about a potential Labour government in my adult life.
Next Thursday is going to be a loving nail biter, and if Labour lose it's going to be hard - not because of any bollocks about Labour's internal politics or Corbyn, but because there seems to be the shadow of a chance of actually making life a bit better for a lot of people, and it'll be a real shame to see it missed.

In 2015 I wanted Labour to win because they couldn't be as bad as the tories. This time I want them to win for positive reasons.

I do genuinely wonder what happens if there's a general election on and the leader of one of the main parties bites it shortly before the polls. People have already submitted postal votes and everything, is there a do-over?

Yes yes technically you are voting for MPs, not a Prime Minister, and the new Parliament can elect whoever the gently caress they want as the PM, but you know how it is with British constitutional issues where everything is a bloody tradition and nothing is actually written down anywhere.

That's the tack to take, though, not "We'll help Jeremy Corbyn".

Bzzzt wrong!

Think it through.

A statement like "We'll make Corbyn Prime Minister" works for the SNP on every level.

The SNP's greatest fear has got to be wavering voters going back to Labour. A statement like this gives those voters permission to vote SNP, even if they really like Labour.

It sets the SNP up as kingmakers in Westminster in the event of a good Labour result in England. This is just good PR in Scotland, regardless of the actual political wrangling that takes place.

They know that on balance a statement like this probably hurts Labour in rUK more than it helps, but if Labour subsequently lose the SNP can blame the tory hellfucking on English Labour and English voters not being progressive enough, and they still have the Tory bogeyman in power for all usual purposes. If Labour win? See point 2.

It's spiteful and selfish of the SNP, but logically I think it's a flawless stance to be crowing about how they're going to be crowning Corbyn's Grime Ministership.
