The majority of people doesn't care for his leftist rhetoric. We can witness the same effect here in Germany with our Socialdemocratic party drifting ever more to the left and losing ever more relevance.

I like how you're lying about your own country to create a false narrative about this wider popular rejection of the """extreme""" left.  SPD lost a vast swath of the angry poor East German voters to Die Linke and the Hitlerites, a dash towards even more extremism. And in recent two years mostly young voters have abandoned SPD for the Green Party, hardly a centrist force.

 

Reason? SPD's long-running betrayal of the left by propping up Merkel's government yet again, even after they swore on their mother's grave they weren't going to.

 

Please stop trying to bamboozle the Anglosphere users here just because they don't follow politics in non-English speaking countries.

As foreigner, it's funny to watch people discuss UK politics like it means a jackcrap.

 

Whenever I check UK policies, I find more and more amusing nonsensical clownery, up to the fact that having pencil outside is now forbidden. A few months ago when I got bored, I just randomly checking the UK news once in a while just to find out that they just ban a fucking plastic tubules, wow such an social improvement by removing these life threatening weapons of mass destruction.

 

But knowing that the UK cares more about making rallies with a huge balloon against foreign president of foreign country that has ZERO relevance to their country, instead of caring about their OWN country and actually do something to prevent their once world supreme ruling Empire in to a third world shithole. You can't care about politics if you can't put your ass out of your comfort zone to make them happen and actually FIGHT for them to happen, or brits truly believe that a authoritarian government will do everything for them and give it on a silver platter? 

 

It would make sense if people actually do protest or mere do a rally for something is related to their own life and country, like the Brexit, DESPITE Brexit winning legal election but yet seem to be completely forgotten about like it never happened. But in all honesty, this is destination of any nation where majority of people have the least self-awareness and government lean more and more to the left with bigger government. And I haven't even put a word about immigrants there, yet.

Sound like hypocritical projecting, ain't ya, kid? Never did I said it's a solid facts or "truth", it was just my observation from some "official" UK medias and experience with actual people who live in there.

Quote

The Conservatives are set to win an overall majority of 86 in the general election, according to an exit poll for the BBC, ITV and Sky News.

The survey taken at UK polling stations suggests the Tories will get 368 MPs - 50 more than at the 2017 election - when all the results have been counted.

Labour would get 191, the Lib Dems 13, the Brexit Party none and the SNP 55.

The Green Party will still have one MP and Plaid Cymru will lose one seat for a total of three, the survey suggests.

 

Ouch.

If you mean plastic drinking straws, we banned them because they normally end up in the sea.

Never knew DooM world had a lotta labour voters. Hello!

 

Personally I voted for the conservatives. Don't care if that makes me wrong, I felt like in the end they had better policies compared to what Labour was promising. I DID want to vote BP but I was out of luck. :l

Hope you like getting your NHS slowly sold piece-by-piece to American Healthcare companies because that's what Boris Johnson and the Tories are currently doing in your country.

 

Meanwhile, I'll be over here voting to make those same "Healthcare companies" no longer exist, because they shouldn't. They're monsters! They're the equivalent of the fucking Mafia!

Do you sincerely believe Corbyn would turn the UK into the USSR? I legitimately can't comprehend why "I don't want to live under socialism" is even a complaint, the most left wing leaders of the labour party ruled the UK efficiently in the post-war era and they led the anti-stalinist coalition in Europe. What's the perceived danger here?

Let's leave the political arguments for other websites in the name of holiday spirit before things start to descend and the thread is inevitably closed anyway.
