So, like, does Theresa May get knifed in a closet by the rest of the Tories now? Is that how party leadership shifts work?

I mean your dude took Labor from 'We are about to be destroyed' to 'I nearly became prime minister and also our opponents' only hope to cling to that is to make a pact with ethnoregionalist lunatics.' That seems like it'd have a way towards calming skepticism about his political abilities.

Would it be much more the norm for a leader who hosed up as badly as May to resign and avoid putting their party in the difficult position of preparing to replace them?

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Lots of us think that Brexit was, in retrospect, a warning about what was going to happen in the presidential election. We're hoping the same thing holds true for this one and the 2018 midterms. The harder the Tories twist themselves into knots, the more hope we have for our own wretched future. Also we tend to think of the Brits like neighbors and are happy to see things didn't turn out totally poo poo for you.

I wonder if they released 'Yeah DUP has totally agreed we're all ready now' to try to get DUP to agree. That seems stupid enough for May, trying to make something fait accompli.

jabby posted:May either has a phobia of the general public or her media advisers have determined that the catastrophic fallout from her demonstrating *yet again* that she won't meet ordinary people is less than her actually meeting ordinary people. Didn't the Tories lose a shitload of marginal seats where she actually came to talk to the voters?

One thing I'm not quite certain I understand. Is Corbyn for or against Brexit? I know he wants a less insane version of it than May, but is that more out of 'This is probably unstoppable at this point let's try to make a softer landing' or what?

forkboy84 posted:Couple of weeks ago I ended up having a talk with friends that ended up on the end of the world & I ended up Googling bomb shelters/insane underground bunkers. How about a bunker with room for 50 people, a really large greenhouse, a swimming pool, a bowling alley, a cinema & a Batcave style hidden tunnel for your cars to go in & out? I also came to the conclusion that in the case the world didn't end in a rain of nuclear missiles, it'd be a great chance for me to catch up on the book backlog I've built up. Good news! With modern nuclear weapons, none of those shelters will actually survive being in the blast zone and death is certain.

We do have a bit of a complication in that socialist policies are popular up until the exact second you suggest someone who isn't white might get those benefits, here. Then the screaming starts. E: Though I imagine that's true in Britain, too. Trying to criticize policy they can't attack on policy basis by turning to racism is one of the favorite tactics of the right.

Junior G-man posted:Do they really think that this whole 'Corbyn = Venezuelan catastrophe' line is sticking? I've seen it everywhere and so far I don't know anybody who's impressed except for thumb people. Get ready for a lot of 'Leftism leads straight to Venezuela!' in the future, because Venezuela is a tire fire right now. Corbyn is nothing like Maduro, though, given he isn't a gibbering idiot.

Gum posted:Dems got a majority of votes in the senate race too. The US system really sucks The House. The problem is the GOP got the House in 2010 and basically got to draw districts such that if there isn't a very powerful wave election against them they functionally cannot lose the lower house. We're talking an average national opinion swing of like 8-10% against them. Our system is loving awful

Oh and now they're making an 'election integrity commission' to decide which votes are legitimate. That's what I meant when I said your poo poo is less depressing because OUR Tories have put themselves in a position where they get to decide if you can even vote. The strategy with Trump was to keep him so busy with rallies that he wouldn't tweet and make national news again, because every time he did his polls dropped like a rock.
