Raeg posted:I kept getting a "Ruth Davidson: Queen of Scots" ad on Facebook that I assumed was an attack ad until I noticed it was from the Conservatives. That's... a bold stance. I'm also getting Ruth Davidson ads on facebook, I've no idea why they think that'd appeal to me. On the other hand, facebook's algorithm also regularly advertises nutella at me when I'm allergic to hazelnuts so maybe facebook just hates me.

Just had a tory oval office on facebook on the defunding of the NHS saying that it's a strong government that makes hard but necessary decisions. You know, the hard but necessary decision to move money from public services into their offshore bank accounts.

Two more votes for SNP in Dumfriesshire. Even if everything else was poo poo, if we managed to kick out Mundell I would be deliriously happy. It'll never happen though.

Regarde Aduck posted:If you SNP dumb shits must contribute to the chances of May winning at least get it right this time. Don't gently caress it up again and end up with even more Tories. I don't think you'll get a third chance. I live in an SNP/Tory marginal, you dumb gently caress. The tories won this seat by a mere 800 loving votes in 2015 over the SNP. Maybe stop hating on Scotland and took a good hard look at the fact that they're polling 26% in Scotland and 40% minimum in England and decide who is really to blame for the poo poo we're in.

I'm sunk in a deep depression today, and it's been building all week. I think it's because I genuinely have no hope of a good outcome. For Brexit and Trump and 2015 I had hope. False hope, but hope nonetheless. Now I have nothing. The tories are getting their landslide and Britain is gonna get completely hosed because the tories have proof that no matter what they put in their manifesto, no matter how blatantly evil they are, they will win. So prepare for policies that gently caress us over harder and faster than before because why both with a pretense anymore?

namesake posted:Extra-parliamentary activism isn't impossible and it doesn't (necessarily) involve violent or criminal acts, don't be afraid of it. Resistance has been poor up until now but Corbyn and Labour aren't the final culmination of that, they're just the furthest we've managed to push the movement and giving up now is insane when they have honestly come this close to power. I'm trying to move to the US sometime in the next year to be with my fiance. I can't afford to rock any boats either here or there.

So I'm catching up on the thread and i just want to say to all the English morons making GBS threads on Scotland: Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales saved your asses. England alone is 296/533. A significant majority. We only gave them 13/59 (which, yes, is 13 too many but it's also not even close to a majority of Scottish seats), and we even gave some labour seats back which no one was expecting before the exit poll. England would have a majority Tory government without us smaller countries. For once, Scotland did actually have an effect on the outcome of the general election (which I'm super happy about). You're loving welcome.

I think you guys are forgetting that this is going to be a coalition/deal with a Northern Irish party. Certain subsections of English voters (especially tories) will be incredibly unhappy with the idea of Northern Ireland dictating their policies, just like they hated the idea of Scotland doing the same with an SNP/Labour deal. They pretended it's about independence but for those kinds of people it absolutely is not, it's all about EVEL and they will not like a minority country having huge sway over England.

Baron Corbyn posted:why do you guys keep saying Tories/DUP would be a majority of 1? They have 328 seats combined compared to 322 for everyone else. That's a majority of 6 and it's really a working pmajority of 13 because of Sinn Fein. Because it's based on rebelling rather than abstaining. If a single tory backbencher voted against the party line, it'd go to 327 - 323, if 3 do then it'll be 325 - 325, a stalemate. Sinn Fein are always 7 abstains. So it's 328 - 315, so if 7 tories rebel then it's 321-322.

Baron Corbyn posted:they will have 328 MPs in the house and everyone else will have 315 and that includes the speaker. I don't get how that's not a majority of 13 Because if an MP rebels, it counts double as the tories lose a vote and the chaos coalition gains one. If 13 tory MPs voted against the party with the rest, it would be a 315 - 328 vote.

Watching the May interview and it struck me as the same as most politician interviews, especially tory ones, lately where they are incapable of actually saying anything other than meaningless soundbites and catchphrases. They're all robots caught in a loop, especially over the election and over this fire. And while that obviously worked at some point, it is clearly failing right now. How on earth did we get to this point? It really seems like Corbyn and a handful of labour MPs are the only politicians capable of being actual human beings anymore, everyone else is a trained parrot.

DancingShade posted:Soundbytes worked great in the era before everything was being recorded and uploaded to YouTube for wide critique and analysis. I would argue that soundbites worked at the start of the youtube era just fine. Pigfucker Cameron was a soundbite machine and that seemed to work well for him until he shat the bed with the referendums.

communism bitch posted:Soundbites can work fine when everything is going basically okay and you just need to deal with day-to-day press questions. I do agree with this, but I think it's not just that it's a crisis now, but that we've been at crisis for years that's causing it. Because Cameron and the tories got away with sound bites during the global recession (national credit card ugggggh). It's only now after years of "common sense" cuts and things not getting better for anyone other than the rich and then a massive incident caused pretty much directly by that poo poo that even people getting their news through the daily mail are realising it's all bullshit with no substance.

jabby posted:drat. BBC News just cut away from a representative of Grenfell action group to show a statement by the Northern Ireland Secretary. When they cut back, with an apology, he said the people of Grenfell are currently wondering if they'd get more attention from Theresa May if they joined the DUP, and how shameful it was that she was willing to spend a billion pounds to stay in her home but couldn't find five thousand to prevent theirs burning down. Brutal. I really don't know why May wants to stay on as PM, she's getting battered at every turn.

I'm a "hard remainer", and I think it's a loving travesty that the only party that thought about the 48% who voted remain was the loving lib dems and we all know you can't trust them and they just did it to try and become relevant again. Brexit is going to gently caress this country in the arse, and you're all loving lemmings. What happened to "him being electable is not the point, it's about getting the right narrative out there"? Oh well, guess we better all jump off that cliff because it's Corbyn leading us there. And if you think he wouldn't bring us out of the single market/freedom of movement then you're delusional too. This is going to gently caress all my EU friends over at minimum, and I care more about them than the loving principle of democracy that got us into this mess. And before you start, yes I understand that it's the politic move. Doesn't mean I have to loving like it, and it doesn't mean I don't feel betrayed by there being absolutely no voice for those of us who would really, really, really like not to jump off the Brexit cliff.
