make a succdem manifesto that is so radically leftwing (by british standards) that your rightwing political opponent...

Is this us finally learning out of the thatcherite/blairite playbook?

She ran towards the right thinking people would be so put off by Corbyn they would suck it up and vote for her.

Believe it or not, this was actually the most leftwing manifesto in tory history

May was obsessed with burying the legacy of thatcherism and overwriting it with a more statist approach to the economy, utilities, taxation etc.that she called "mayism". Basically a homage to one-nation-conservatism

Did Corbyn's ideas actually resonant with the people, or was it just May's incompetence that scared them away?

Both

This is funny because British have american politics and i live in a social democratic country that is a utopia compared to England.

Until 24 hours ago, you could have been describing Scotland smh

Corbyn is hiding his Power Level

No they don't, burgerland is much worse than bongistan.

t. burger

I don't really get why people say she lost, I mean she's prolly gonna be PM with the help of that Unionist Party or whatever they were called. Can a uk-user explain please?

So you just had the same election the Democrats had with the same result

May, the less popular, lethargic centrist won by a margin that was significantly less than it was supposed to be.

The only difference is May doesn't have to fight another round against a reality star

Because she called the election and then lost a bunch of seats and her majority. She could have stayed on for years with the government she already had.

Has Northern Ireland ever done anything good in their entire existence?

British people love to take the piss and she made a massive arse of herself. Even tories will be lining up to hurl abuse at her.

Also, the tories are full of backstabbing shitbags, meaning another internal power struggle is probably brewing.

As for the DUP, they certainly won't be that popular with anyone other than their base and a handful of scottish WATP fuckwits.

Meanwhile, Corbyn outperformed. If she had lost a few more seats, he would likely be forming a government right now. Blairites are lining up to suck his socialist cock.

Even though she got the most seats, she still played herself.

Wait the conservatives LOST? Whos the new PM?

i somehow hate this woman even more than i did before

she just doesn't have any character whatsoever

nope they got re-elected, but they might replace may out of tradition bcuz they lost some seats

She's trying to be Margret Thatcher ² and it's only ever going to backfire spectacularly time and again.

Pray for her not to change her attitude, she's going to continue Cameron's tradition of utterly fucking destroying the credibility of the Tory wankers.

...

It was a Pyrrhic victory for them.

I was pleasantly surprised that the media didn't try to downplay this and presented it as the upset it really was.

I don't think you understand how stubborn and willfully ignorant Tory boys are.

Lost their majority, had to go begging to the fucking DUP just to get back in. Internally PMs split between those wanting another election and May out and those scared shitless that another election = Corbyn PM. Corbyn is now one of the most influential politicians in the UK.

Most of England probably didn't know the DUP existed till today. Now because of them I have to suffer Orangemen in government, only supported by Ulster loyalists and depraved rangers fans.

these two are one of the few politicians in the west i like that is still alive

Oh some are doing that right now and it is really grating

You sure about that?

You can't really single out one moment of the Tory campaign, it really deserves to be admired in its entirety. It'll be studied in universities for decades. It's the closest that politics ever got to a Mel Brooks movie.

Yeah we invented Ulster Unionism but we've also killed more Ulster Unionists than anywhere else.

Jesus fuck, on Orwell's country of all places…

Gerry Adams is really pretty meh. He's not even the best member of Sinn Fein.

Makes perfect sense in the end. May's MI5 recruited the terrorist cell that ended up giving us the Manchester bomber, kept report on terrorism under wraps because it exposed the Saudis, Hillary knew Saudis and Qatar supported ISIS for years, Blair was flat-out threatened with terrorist attacks by the Saudis and rolled over. Now having terrorists holding the balance of power in the UK is the logical next step.

The logical conclusion: a terrorcracy.

Holy fuck Orwell save us

Is it only Anti-Catholic and Anti-Protestant talk and songs that falls under this law? Or are people allowed to sing songs in support of a united Ireland or British Unionism? Sectarian songs have a long history in Celtic and Rangers football culture.

It has to have been on purpose. Some insistent interns convinced their porky bosses.

Does this work on trots?

How the fuck did Tories go to the centre? their policies were straight up norsefire shit.

I was told once that normal Tory shit is even worse. I find that hard to believe, but I live in Burgerstan and have only been following British politics since the election was called.

America is much more liberal than Britain, at least rhetorically. This means violation of certain civil liberties is kept covert, while the control and regulation of the market by capital is more overt. The end result though is mostly the same.
