I know they like to use the term "hung" parliament over there, but the Canadian term "minority" is so much nicer.

Queen wins.

Monster Raving Loony Party

Pirate Party



Still much better choices than:

Women's Equality Party

Christian Peoples Alliance

Well it was a pretty bad idea to call an election demanding a stronger mandate for Brexit when Brexit barely passed...

[HiTempguy1]

I don't think it had much to do with that.

Brexit opinion has grown stronger in favour lately, so there are more likely other reasons.

What I am seeing quoted, and would not surprise me, is that May did a huge flop on something people are referring to as the "dementia tax". A tax on old people, who were more likely to vote for Brexit.

In short, she dun goofed. What a muppet

The people were pissed off with the 'austerity' cuts that were done by George Osborne. So they took it out of Teresa May.

Corbyn jumped on this with his fantasy polices, fear mongering of the NHS that rely on the magic money tree. People bought into this.
The dementia tax is was spun by Corbyn and people bought it.

Now the neo liberal fascists have created a potential situation where one side wants to go back to the 1970's and where Boris Johnson could be leader of the Tories. Its fucked.

Are you new to European taxes? VAT is like that all over Europe.

[suntan]

Of course I know that. Most of Europe's tax regimes bump up against the Laffer Curve now.

I'm much more worried about our neighbours to the west with their minority government about to go full retard shortly.

The next obvious question is: Should the UK ban Trump?

Conservative viewpoint is slipping and Trump would arguably only stoke tensions and get nothing done other than create controversy.

Except, he won.

The conservatives in the UK just lost their majority in a snap vote, they were already talking about banning when they had a majority.

It is kind of hypocritical to ban Kim Jong and not Trump.
