Tokamak posted:The contest notice is the artwork and he isn't actually going to send anything to anyone. Also there's nowhere on the page telling you where to send it to. Still loving stupid, though. Regarding the ballot numbers: these are printed on the reverse of the ballot, so you'd have to work at it to have them appear in the photo.

CoolCab posted:Also, if I recall correctly YouGov provided the single poll that predicted a Yes win in the Scottish referendum, No, you don't recall correctly. The only polling company to ever predict a Yes win was Panelbase, in a poll paid for by the SNP. ICM and YouGov did put out two later polls that showed more Yes voters than No voters, but they used the undecideds as a third category while Panelbase excluded them completely to give a 51-49 result. ICM also showed Yes further ahead, 7% against YouGov's 2%.

Coohoolin posted:Just in case people forgot, Aberdeen Labour "made it happen" if "it" was going into coalition with the Tories and independents to lock out the majority SNP councillors, getting themselves kicked out of the party in the process, leaving Aberdeen City Council being run by a coalition of 9 Tories and 13 independents. Necessary fact correction: 1) The SNP are not a majority on Aberdeen City Council, they are the largest plurality with 19 of the 45 councillors. 2) You got the number of Labour and Tory councillors backwards. It's 11 Tory, 9 Labour. 3) The Labour/Tory/LD coalition is not new, it is a continuation of the previous administration.

Guavanaut posted:They'd be wiped out if they sided with Tories. They'd also suffer if they went into a formal coalition with Labour. Most likely is a confidence and supply on the condition of passing IndyRef 2 for Scotland. Which Labour literally cannot do. It'd give the only people keeping them in government a chance to abandon them, and then ruin them in England because they threw away the Union. Regarde Aduck is not exaggerating when he says the SNP have hosed the left completely in Britain.

Extreme0 posted:So Tories win. Calling it. Probably. The SNP love to talk about how every SLA voted to Remain, but that's hiding an inconvenient truth that not every constituency did. Banff and Buchan is one of the ones that voted Leave, mainly because of the fishermen in Banff and Fraserburgh. In this election it's not between parties, it's a straight Brexit battle with Leavers voting Tory and Remainers voting SNP. And as Leave won the first time, I would expect it to win again.

Anime_Otaku posted:It's going to be a battle, if Scottish Labour broke away and set themselves as a pro independence party that might win some of us over, but as it is I'm SNP until independence is achieved, and I'm far from alone in that. This result is really a product of realpolitik, the Tories are not really so popular in my view, but I'm in West Dunbartonshire, which returned Martin Docherty to WM again after being strongly Labour (the MSP is Labour's Jackie Bailie still) prior to the referendum. Quite honestly as long as Labour keeps voting with the Tories in Westminster, they don't have much chance. You're an idiot. Reposting my assessment from the ScotPol thread, because you should at least know why: Someone in the UKMT accused Scottish Labour of treating Scotland like its fiefdom, an appendage to be ignored in policy because it could be counted on for votes anyway. This is essentially true, and it worked for a long time because the SNP were splitting the Scottish Tory vote. But when Sturgeon got her "glorious 56" result on the back of promising to work for Scotland after the Indyref and hoovered up the Labour voters, she made the mistake of doing the same thing. She thought that the overwhelming support her party had in Westminster and Holyrood was her strong mandate to campaign for a second Indyref, even though a failure would bury the issue and the party forever. The Tories in the party didn't want that - they want to rule a kingdom, not a fiefdom - and so they reverted to type. Scottish Labour were still stabbing Corbyn, so the Labour voters didn't want to return home in the same way. So: if you want someone to blame for last night's result, Kezia Dugdale is a good start. But if you want to discuss why the Tories gained seats, it was not the result of Scottish Labour taking votes from the SNP; it was the SNP taking votes from Labour. If Dugdale wasn't poo poo and had managed to recover half the SNP votes in the constituencies taken by the Conservatives, the Tories would not now be able to form a government even with DUP support. But if Sturgeon wasn't poo poo and hadn't unified the right, they wouldn't be able to form a government at all.

Firos posted:This is correct. No, it isn't. Also can people please stop banging on about how hosed May is because she went to the Queen without a formal deal with the DUP? She isn't. She leads the largest party; Labour couldn't get more seats even in coalition with the SNP and Lib Dems. It is therefore her right to form a minority government, and make the deal with the DUP to ensure passage of bills. That's how confidence and supply works. Remember also that the DUP have to actively oppose May to shut down Tory activity. If they only abstain then the Tories have 318 seats and only need 317 for a majority of the 633 participating.

oath2order posted:It's kind of crazy to me that the House of Lords is an unelected check on conservatism. I would think it would end up being mostly composed of rich autocrats that mostly just want more money. The Lords, being appointed rather than elected, are not beholden to special interest groups funding their election campaigns. And as they sit for life (or until they retire from all work) they're not angling for a nice job or six once they stand down. Re: Lord Buckethead - in case anyone doesn't know, he took the character and party name from a 1980s Star Wars parody called Gremloids. I saw it years ago, it is very cheap and very silly so I recommend it.

You want to be jumping out of the window going "but the landlord was supposed to do it!!" for the sake of £50? Well now we know what started the Grenfell Tower fire, it was your hot takes. Next time you feel the urge to blame the victims of a disaster, do you think you could perhaps wait until they've been counted?

Employed people can claim housing benefits. The biggest scam of the housing bubble is that the Tories have purposefully set it up with the dual intent of demonising the poor while simultaneously feeding taxpayers money into the pockets of landlords. (NB: the majority of Tory MPs are landlords.)

Jose posted:i think the fire would have had a substantial impact on how people voted had it occurred before the election This. A tower block full of working class people just burned down with unknown loss of life because a bunch of Tory voting rich cunts didn't want their view spoiled. Said rich cunts got the Tory landlords to petition the Tory council to approve dangerous plans that were implemented by a cowboy company who even if they didn't slip a brown envelope under the table, cared more about their shareholders than the dead. The Tory landlords then for years repeatedly ignored warnings from their tenants that said plans put them massively at risk of exactly the disaster that happened. Kensington and Chelsea is never going Tory again.
