ISeeCuckedPeople posted:What about the SNP? Plaid Cymru? Green Party? I though they were considered left? SNP aren't really left, the others are but have low single digits MPs between them. ISeeCuckedPeople posted:And the Lib-Dems? More likely to stand with the Tories than Labour? This was the case less than two years ago. I don't want to be rude but you have a lot of holes in your knowledge.

Seaside Loafer posted:Anyone know much about the whole bother with fishing quotas? My know nothing man in the pub thought is surely even fisherman understand that its there for a reason, ie to not fish the fish to extinction so we can carry on fishing. Is there some sort of nationalistic annoyance, as in 'the bloody french get more and its decided from bloody brussels' etc. You're essentially asking if people understand the tragedy of the commons and regard foreigners as anything other than a scary boogyman who hates us. The answer is that they do not.

Pochoclo posted:Relax, I seriously doubt it's going to be that bad. The economy might get hit, unemployment might rise a bit, but in the end this is still one of the strongest economies in the world, it's going to survive somehow. If the City wanders off to the continent then that's 10% of tax income immediately up in smoke

Remember that she had that popularity because she had only been prime minster for 9 months. Blair was even more popular at that point in 1998. PMs tend to have exponential decays of popularity. (Most popular PM to call an election, not most popular ever)

Even if you're a prime minister in a weak position, you're still prime minister; this is pretty much the only thing that a lot of Tories got into politics for.

Shibawanko posted:I'm not trying to be wishfully pessimistic here by the way, I'm on Corbyn's side, but my impression of the tories (and equivalent parties in other countries) is that they are simply unprincipled and will try to consolidate power no matter what it takes, they're willing to be extremely flexible. I see no differences between DUP and CON except for Brexit, so why would this coalition be that unstable? It seems to me they'd agree on almost everything except brexit hardness, what would the funny sneeze entail? The Tories have the amazingly useful position of knowing that things will get better for them personally no matter what happens The DUP + the Tories is still a very very slim majority.

radmonger posted:To be fair, it could be they are right. Maybe the met actually has a policy of shooting people at random, and it was just luck that the random selection mechanism happened to pick 3 people who were, entirely coincidentally, currently doing a terrorism. The Met does not have an (official) shoot to kill policy.
