So are you all optimistic about a fresh new beginning? ��

[ashstralia]

Bruce would be a good pm.

Twitter has been brilliant , my fav tweets :
If you like corbyn so much name two of his albums .
And Crystal Palace denying that Theresa May is on the way ( footy joke)
Although anything with Eddie Hitler as Paul nuttal gets an honourable mention.

Weird election no one wanted any of them and that's what we end up with .
It's simple ,honestly ... appeal to the youth vote and say something about tuition fees , everyone is no old and fucked so say something about NHS. Brexit is so 2016 get over it.

I liked mr fishfingers policies

Although that fucking Tory heartland jocktopia stitched us again

Yeah, I see you all have that urban vs rural bullshit going on over there too. I crashed out too early last night to monitor the later results, but it looks like the "suburbs" came in late to help Maggie Jr. out.

So I guess they're calling this a "hung parliament", with no party ending up with the 326 seats required for a majority, but the Tories unfortunately in the lead. Which of course means coalition building with the minor parties. So looking at the numbers here.....

SNP - 35
LibDems - 12
DUP - 10
Sinn Fein - 7
Plaid Cymru - 4
Green - 1
Independent - 1

So which of these minor parties are likely to back Labour and which are likely to back the Tories? I'm guessing May is finished as PM no matter which party ends up "in charge", since this whole election was envisioned by her as a "power grab" and obviously failed, costing her party 32 seats in the process.

The answer to your question is Northern Ireland which is a ridiculous place.

These days the they all vote for the most extreme parties they can find so on one side you have Sinn Fein who refuse to attend the fucking parliament so effectively a completely wasted vote and on the other the lunatic reactionary fuckwit DUP who are Pat Robertson levels of cuntery. Against gay marriage actually just against gays in general, evolution, climate change denial and a bit of corruption thrown in. They are like a party of hateful televangelists.

Needless to say May has immediately formed an alliance with them giving her enough votes thanks to a bunch of old Scottish pricks voting some Conservatives in for reasons which are as complicated as they are stupid.

I would have voted for Lord Buckethead if I could.

So in other words, after Theresa May started talking like Cheeto about terrorism, she forms a coalition with a party literally founded by terrorists?? (Ian Paisley's UDA) But they're right wing terrorists, so that's different. (much like the white supremacists in the US)

[FORD]

This Buckethead guy isn't the same dude who used to play guitar for AxHole Rose, right?

[Kristy]

The loser of this all was really slave FORD and his lame argumentative skills.

While like Trump also doing a massive arms deal with the source of wahhabism the basis for ISIS, 9-11 and all that shit - Saudi Arabia.

We may never know...

Those weapons are wasted on a panicky, dumb military led by incompetent royalist officers who wear depends to battle so no one can see the shit stains on their camo-pants as they run away from poorly armed Yemenis they should outgun at least 5-1! If you look at their line-up of weapons, it's rather hysterical. Very impressive to the average person, but for armchair military analysts - it's a silly fucking redundant mishmash collected by dickheads trying to instill fear into Iran and impress their own population, and yet instill fear into them as well. The logistics alone will sink them of maintaining so many different weapons systems that are redundant. Their main mission is to protect the House of Saud from internal insurrection, but an actual serious shooting war with a major enemy like Iran, the demoralized and abused troops that lack much of a cohesive national identity and are usually pissed on by their corrupt commanders will run away...

I think in the most basic terms we are on the wrong side.

We should be allied with Iran. Anything that you would criticize Iran for is 5 times worse in Saudi and what power the radical religionists in Iran have is built on a hatred of past sins of the US and UK who have fucked them over many a time.

[FORD]

Iran is the most natural ally against all this Wahabbist Sunni fundaMENTAList bullshit that Al Qaeda and the ISHoles are based upon. The only reason the US & UK won't side with Iran over the Sunnis is because then they would have to tell NuttyYahoo to fuck off with his 30 year paranoid labelling of Iran as "the next Hitler".

[Seshmeister]

I think oil money is probably a more important factor.

It's an amazing fact that something like 80% of Iranians aren't very religious and don't go to the mosque each week.
