I was actually serious, A lot of thread regulars here do not have strong control over their emotions and are unable to understand when someone is not making a literal argument.

Heading up to Gateshead to watch Corbyn's speech on this damp afternoon. It's been a long time since I've gotten this enthusiastic about politics.

Doubt things will matter around here, being a sea of Labour safeseats with UKIP completely decimated, but after spending my adult life in despair about the state of things it feels like a massive shake-up.

As I understand it, Confidence and Supply is basically where the DUP promises to help them get the Queens Speech through, but after that will be in the position of being able to dictate terms on anything else. A coalition means the two parties come to an arrangement beforehand where those concessions are given upfront, in exchange for the DUP promising to go along with the party line.

Ah, so they're loving us. Lovely, the left-wing has a coalition ready and raring and the Tories can slip in with this poo poo.

I simply can't comprehend why she isn't simply quitting and quietly retiring, you have to be utterly delusional not to see that it won't just be the DUP holding her hostage it's going to be every single Tory backbencher, a group traditionally ignored and cowed by the whips, making demands as well.

Gives me the vibes of Thatcher's last days in power, except May's only been PM for just under a year. Nice of her to skip most of the horrors Thatch inflicted and skipped straight to the megalomania, paranoia and delusions.

All seriousness, I'm over the moon my generation/younger are finally starting to be felt as a serious political force and I'm so grateful it was Corbyn that energised us.

There's still a lot of work to do ofc, the youth politics seems to be split between:

-Labour, the largest group now as we clearly saw. Good boys/girls who deserve their dinner eggs.
-Young Tories, rich cunts who need their birthday Lambos keyed up immediately. May flee the Tories en-mass with their alliance with DUP/all the bullying that goes in within the YT.
-UKIP, lost causes, May go back to apathetic, may go full fash/alt-right, slim chance they'll turn with enough kicks to the face.
-Apathetic, the biggest worry. If Corbyn leaves for whatever reason and the next Labour leader can't motivate the youth like he can we may see apathy reclaim much of the youth. Major Labour gains may drag more kids out of this group next time round.

Expect everyone to chase after the Youth vote next time. Expect many terrible, terrible memes.

I think the cult of BOZZA WORRA LEGERND has died a just death. At best people see him as an idiot. At worst people see him as the oval office he is under the buffoonish performance. He doesn't even seem to be liked in his own party.

He may be more conniving than May, but still easy prey for The Absolute Lad if he does snatch the PM spot from May.
