So George Galloway has launched his own party.

I know nothing about the politics of the rainy pedop-isle, but how likely is Cat Boy to win a few seats?

Do you mean his merger with the CPGBML to form the CPGBML(R) a month or two ago?

people said that Boris would never be PM, corbyn would never be leader of Labour and Brexit would never happen.

He looks like he should appeal to a lot of (whatever your rust-belt is called). the north... east i'm guessing?

The UK has more dumb tankie/trot/whatever groups than you can count on both hands, they never amount to anything because, unfortunately, my home is not actually full of militant commies, it's mostly full of crusty old farts who bought their council house and have voted tory since blair was elected.

here in minnesota a libertarian wrestler beat both the republicans and DFL to become governor. ( Galloway's co-worker on RT)

he could steal votes from Labour in the North East. I doubt they've been voting Tory since Blair, otherwise, where did Brown's government get it's seats?

maybe try listening to one of the actual UK people telling you what UK politics is like rather than assuming you know better

so brown didn't have any of those seats that Labour lost in the last election? How did he form a minority goverment if he had no seats in the labour heartlands?

In case you didn't get it, gordon brown never won an election.

I never said he won an election. He had to have enough seats to pass a budget and aviod VoNC's right? Where did those seats come from, if not the Labour heartlands?

there's no need to be rude. If he had neither a majority nor minority government then how was he PM?

but he had the seats. I never said he was ever elected, you guys are literally arguing past my point, I said he had enough seats to be PM, that at least some people in the northest had to have been socialists who voted labour, since they returned Dennis Skinner for year after year, and that Labour should watch to make sure Galloway doesn't split the vote or win seats in the north.

I don't pretend to understand how things work on your sinking gloomy isle, but even a dumbass american like me who's brainpan is filled with corn-syrup understands that you must have a majority of seats to be Prime Minister

A governing party can choose a new prime minister for itself without holding a general election. They're not a president, they're just the guy the majority party puts in charge.

I thought you could only have Majority or Minority governments in bung-a-bob-for-a-Big-Ben-bong land.

do all Tories have horrid henry ( that’s a show you brits like, right?) names like Priti Patel or is it just her?

also I just had one of you guys show up at my door canvassing for Bernie. she managed to convince my lost-cause neighbors to vote for him ( we’re in Minnesota , it should be illegal to fly the stars and bars here).

Thanks.

A lot of them have weird names but Priti Patel is a really ordinary name so ?

it alliterates, like a horrid Harry name, and it has word that sounds like an adjective in it.
