brexit negging when yr mandate is is trash: or further chronicles of a garbage-fire

xps probably underrated how much of a driver for anti-tory votes animal rights stuff is.

it does seem like electoral reform could go a long way to provoking some meaningful change - the two parties contain multitudes of views that go too far along the political spectrum - a system which reduced their power and increased the chances of coalition, and led to more parties cropping up, would probably be good. but we've prob seen in recent years the strange suspicion of coalitions that exists in the uk and the perception that they are weak or a sign of a decadent state or whatever.

True, but also closet Tories/blueish-greens are big fans of OMG look what they’ve done to the elephants shares on social media (most of the women I know like this post little else).

I can handle the idea of a Buzzfeed political editor, it's Jim W who's the alien cheese

A political writer I follow was noting during the animal sentience nonsense that, despite being nonsense, it turned up all over their twitter feed, from people who have no other noticeable political opinions.

LocalGarda completely otm up and down that post.

this thread is quite long: wondering if a new one ("the day after the deadline" usw) makes sense?

during the election campaign, when May came out with her pro-foxhunting stance, the strength of the reaction- and more importantly the people doing the reacting, first made me suspect that something was happening here and I didn't know what it was, do I, Mr Jones

we wouldn't be in this shitheap if cameron didn't have to straddle positions so wildly opposed to each other that it caused the trousers of the country, entrusted to him as pm, to split.

who do ppl think is going to bring about this electoral reform, and how?

Labour could have done it after 2005, from a position of strength, having won a majority off 35% of the vote. But lol @ Blair or Brown giving a fuck

well yeah - another case of turkeys voting for christmas - however these turkeys are wilier.

xp I realise that is not exactly answering ur question

i'd like to add a "having gorged themselves on the organic feed of power" to my last metaphor pls

A few DUP ppl rt-ing Ruth Davidson's statement on the negotiations.

nu-thread iftyou want, inc."provocative: opening question to ignore:
the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

We had a referendum on it! Reversing two referenda would be a neat trick.

britons care about animals. only need to see the reaction to the tories don’t think animals are sentient meme to appreciate this. there was a tory media blitz the day after that all kicked off online

They care about animals, it's disabled people they hate.

A lot of leavers I know/have read online, seem to have reduced their argument to 'the fishermen!' and a vague notion of sovereignty.

so davis thinks that a non-customs-union, non-single-market "regulatory alignment" with the EU is going to let ireland swerve around the border issue? hmm

A NEW THREAD EXISTS PEOPLE
