with endorsements like these, who needs enemies? https://www.ft.com/content/67949e4a-45e2-11e7-8d27-59b4dd6296b8 quote:Far from being strong and stable, Mrs May has looked curiously brittle. She has failed to offer a credible picture of what life outside the EU’s single market and customs union will look like, let alone the economic trade-offs that will inevitably form part of the Brexit end-game. The opposition Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership has been equally vague. Both sides have engaged in a conspiracy of silence.

Guavanaut posted:The military dictatorship thing does have some appeal, in that last time around it led shortly after to a bourgeois revolution and the penning of an actual written bill of rights. I can think of a number of issues with Skinner leading a pro-remain military dictatorship

multijoe posted:The title of the article if 'Nicola Sturgeon Says The SNP Would Help Jeremy Corbyn Become Prime Minister' but in the article itself she rules out the only course of action that could allow him to do if he otherwise couldn't (form a parliamentary majority through a formal coalition). Regardless of whatever you think she may be inferring or the chances of a Labour/SNP coalition if the need and opportunity presented itself, it's still really scummy to outright misquote her imply she'd take a course of action she actually ruled out in that interview. that's not true. the SNP can vote for a minority Corbyn government's Queen's speech, budget, etc without entering a formal coalition. Sturgeon has experience of this sort of confidence and supply arrangement from the first SNP minority government in Holyrood.

Regarde Aduck posted:The vote invalidation part of this law opens it up to abuse. What a dumb addition. Just fine the people that hosed up. Votes are sacred and it should take a lot more to invalidate them. how is it open to abuse? no-one other than the idiot in the voting booth take a photo of a ballot paper, so it's only ever your own ballot you could be invalidating. no way for anyone to invalidate anyone else's

Pochoclo posted:Depends. Are ballot IDs unpredictable, or are they just sequential numbers? Because if it's the latter, then someone with enough money to invest could print exact replicas of ballots and use thousands of russian bot twitter accounts to invalidate a lot of votes in a constituency. just a thought but someone at the EC might notice that the crosses are in the wrong boxes and drawn differently. or get a little suspicious when thousands of people are claiming that the bot accounts aren't theirs

Pochoclo posted:This assumes that the government is going to painstakingly match each and every physical ballot (which they have to find in a huge pile of paper) with the pictures and compare them. I don't know if I trust them that much. hash of what? you're given the first ballot paper off the top of the pad. not one waiting for you specifically.

Pochoclo posted:Because any idiot would be able to know all voter IDs in a constituency if they are sequential. Sure, they might not be able to do jack-poo poo with that information, but why even risk it, when there's a perfect viable alternative that doesn't need more resources or effort? oh i think i see what you've misunderstood these numbers are not *voter* IDs, there are ballot paper IDs. which ballot ID is linked to which voter is effectively random unless you have a conspiracy to control who turns up in what order and when.

forkboy84 posted:Who'd you have to replace her? Best odds you can get on Boris, the bookies favourite, is 6/1. Amber Rudd the 2nd favourite, then Philip Hammond. Not sure Rudd would stand much chance in the light of the past few days though. no idea. it seems so unlikely that we'll be in that position that you might as well pick an outside wildcard. David Cameron why not

Random Integer posted:The SNP only get 4% of the total vote but they only stand in 9% of the total constituencies. Seems a pretty representative outcome to me. Its interesting how this only suddenly becomes an issue for many people when the SNP is involved. are you on crack? if you pull out subsets of constituencies with that logic you could easily pick and choose the best for each party and come out with more than 100% of MPs total Cerv fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jun 6, 2017 |

Miftan posted:Like most traditions it has outlived its usefulness and should be destroyed since it's stupid and is actively making things more difficult for a lot of people. Either that or make it a national holiday where nobody works. a national holiday where nobody works would massively reduce turnout on account of there being no public transport, no shops open, etc this is a nonsense suggestion that's only ever brought up by people with cushy 9-5 office jobs who want a day's skive. there's no evidence whatsoever that DNV is driven by a lack of access to the polls in the 21st century UK.

Coohoolin posted:Also, there is zero loving chance that SNP MPs would vote for anything other than a Corbyn government (leaving themselves open to be accused of getting a Tory government would ruin them), and many SNP MPs are further to the left than Corbyn (Black, Shepherd). There are something like 12 seats where Tories might beat the SNP in Scotland, and people leaving the SNP to vote Labour will risk splitting the vote and letting in the Tories. The one current Labour MP, Ian Murray, is virulently anti-Corbyn, and would probably be part of any future Blairite coup attempt. the rank hypocrisy, you were happy to advocate before the opposite direction of travel.

ukle posted:There has been a cockup in Newcastle under lyme with at least one polling station not having the correct list of voters. Odds are it will force the vote there to be null and voided, I think the same happened in 2015 as well somewhere. Barnet, and the result wasn't voided because so few people were affected & they mostly could come back later in the day anyway.
