UK election

Maggie is spinning in her grave fast enough to power the national grid.
You'll be calling for the Malvinas to be returned to Argentina next.

Churchill worked with Stalin. Thatcher worked with Pinochet.

Scorched Earth, let it burn.

No, that's fair. Neither or them screwed up or shined.
Boris has more charisma and Corbyn appears more serious but they both dodged questions and gave politician answers.
Neither was prepared to really go after Prince Andrew for example, both just mouthed platitudes about the victims.

Yea, but Corbyn is behind in the polls so if he isn't clearly winning the debates he will lose.

Whether Boris gets the majority required is still in doubt though.
I see a lot of voters from both sides moving towards the Lib Dems.
The chances of another hung Parliament are still high.

Are you still clinging to this because I'm not seeing it? Is there some kind of effect of the British winner takes all voting system that I'm missing?

It's possible to win the popular vote by a wide margin and still not get a majority, though it's not as likely as Monte is making it out to be, it's basically wishful thinking on his part at this point. Labour and the Lib Dems are going to split the vote a lot more than the Tories and Brexit.

Labor has done the same mistake as the Democrats in the US and the Swedish Social Democrats. They have abandoned the workers that used to be their base and went all-in on the radical feminist urban multiculti green-left politically correct outrage people.

Not sure why you are saying that.
They're running on raising taxes, increased spending, nationalisation of rail, mail, telecoms and energy.
All uncosted of course. They're outright 1980s socialists but I've not seen any campaigning on identity politics. Corbyn certainly hasn't done so in either of this week's TV debates.
Talking of TV debates, they had Boris, Corbyn, the SNP and Lib Dem leaders on tonight.
I watched at mum's and my sister was there. Both of them and mum's fella are all lifelong Tory voters and not one of them is going to vote for them this time.
Boris did his usual avoidance, Corbyn actually answered the questions but no one really liked the answers. Sturgeon of the Scots nationalists did her usual single issue stuff but had trouble answering how Scotland could meet the requirements for EU membership as an independent country since they have no money or economy.
Swinson of the Lib's had the best answers IMO but every time she appears in public her numbers fall in the polls. No one can take her seriously.

With the internet and a 24 hour news cycle you can't ignore the other years between elections cycles. Oh great when they want your vote they pretend to not hate you as much but the rest of the time you are a bigot for only believing there are 2 genders.

These anti-semitism accusations are really going to hurt Labour. The Chief Rabbi has spoken out today, saying Jeremy Corbyn is not fit to run the country.
The Labour party is only the 2nd British party to be investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission for racism and prejudice after the far-right BNP (British National Party).

Just accept that it's going to be Conservative majority for Bojo already. Stop living in denial, maan
