It's so hard for me to post this with a straight face. BBC: [URL="http://www.bbc.com/news/election-2017-40237813"]Jeremy Corbyn: 'I can still be prime minister'[/URL] [QUOTE]Mrs May is seeking a loose "confidence and supply" arrangement with the Democratic Unionist Party's 10 MPs that would allow her to press ahead with a minority government. This would give the Tories the numbers to pass a Queen's Speech on Monday 19 June, which will set out their legislative agenda. But Mr Corbyn said: "There's a possibility of voting the Queen's Speech down and we're going to push that all the way.[/QUOTE] Oh man, if May's brought down by a vote of no-confidence against the bloody Queen's Speech... :v: Defying the Good Friday Agreement just to hold onto power by getting DUP's cooperation should prompt a vote of no-confidence, especially considering the arrogance and hubris of the Tory campaign. Never mind all of the other problems, just threatening the stability of Ireland/NI out of desperate greed should be enough justification.

so, the BBC is [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/election-2017-40231623]constantly reporting[/url] in their shitty drop-down newspaper kinda way, but here's some highlights!: [quote]Former chancellor George Osborne tells Andrew Marr Theresa May is a 'a dead woman walking'[/quote] [quote][B]Jeremy Corbyn tells Marr Labour is ready to form a government[/B][/quote] [quote]Corbyn: Another election 'quite possible' in months The Andrew Marr Show Posted at 10:02 The UK could be heading for another election in months, says the Labour leader. He told Andrew Marr: "I think it’s quite possible there will be an election later this year or early next year, and that might be a good thing." And he said his party was "ready to fight another ready election campaign".

May really is a real-life Nicola Murray isn't she?

[media]https://twitter.com/ThatTimWalker/status/873828841688530944[/media] How does this keep getting worse?

So what is happening right now? is it basically just a race? how long do the tories have until there needs to be another election?

[QUOTE=josm;52340274]So what is happening right now? is it basically just a race? how long do the tories have until there needs to be another election?[/QUOTE] There will have to be a new election if the Tories can't pass the Queen's Speech or any other supply bill (spending bill).

I'm just waiting on May's resignation, which seems inevitable at this point, Brexit or not. Though I guess the Tories are scared to push it for fear of making themselves look even more fragmented and incompetent in the face of half a parliament who just want them to fuck off entirely.

[QUOTE=download;52340298]There will have to be a new election if the Tories can't pass the Queen's Speech or any other supply bill (spending bill).[/QUOTE] Which most likely isn't in the Tories favour

[QUOTE=Grizz;52340175] Going to need context for [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCBxBCEXoAAVB0A?format=jpg&name=large]this picture of Corbyn and Osborne[/url] also:[/QUOTE] They've done interviews on the BBC today, so they met up backstage. Osborne is going absolutely mental on May: [quote]Prime Minister Theresa May is "a dead woman walking" who will inevitably face a leadership challenge, former Tory Chancellor George Osborne has said.[/quote] This is a man who gives no fucks anymore. Did anyone see him on election night? When he saw that exit poll, his shiny little face lit up.

there's something deeply satisfying about watching the tories implode, the price of intense hubris.

[media]https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/873664576990179328[/media] It's unbelievable how many prominent Tories are trying to sweep this situation under the rug. This is the highest office in the country; you don't get to make a mistake of this magnitude and then just "get on with it" like nothing happened.

So what's the likelihood of some Tories defecting at this rate? Dosen't sound like many would need to to fuck up the party big time.

Labour has gained over 150,000 new members since election day :v: That's more than the Conservative Party overall.

[QUOTE=Mr Kotov;52340437]So what's the likelihood of some Tories defecting at this rate? Dosen't sound like many would need to to fuck up the party big time.[/QUOTE] Very unlikely, UKIP has imploded and the rest of them will bend over to the DUP to make sure they stay in power.

[QUOTE=Mr Kotov;52340437]So what's the likelihood of some Tories defecting at this rate? Dosen't sound like many would need to to fuck up the party big time.[/QUOTE] Why would people who only narrowly lost their seat vote in favour of risking their own jobs?

[QUOTE=download;52340298]There will have to be a new election if the Tories can't pass the Queen's Speech or any other supply bill (spending bill).[/QUOTE] But with the DUP support they will have the majority to pass a Queen's Speech and supply bills. If Labour wants to form a government then they also need the DUP's support - and the DUP hate Corbyn because they believe he has links to the IRA. The realistic mathematical options at this point is CON-DUP minority government or another election.

They wont defect ideally but it would still be mildly amusing if some did, you gotta consider a member defecting is destroying their job security, it'll be a gamble they'll only make if they know that the odds are in their favor. At the moment the CON-DUP fuckfest is likely going to happen or we're going down for another election which likely will see Labour gain more.

Jeremy Hunt remains as Health Secretary. Says it all, really.

So a friend of mine was out in Aberdeen and managed to ask a bunch of young Tory voters why they voted tory, their collective response: "don't know really, thought Theresa May hadn't done a bad job of running the country so just went fuck it." :suicide:

Ignorance kills politics, whether you're a voter or a politician introducing poorly thought out legislation. Only thing is, how can you fairly adjudicate something like that, especially for people from under privileged areas with poor access to education to begin with...

[QUOTE=CMB Unit 01;52341187] Ignorance kills politics[/QUOTE] I think this is a tricky one because before you even get to issues with fairness- You have the fact that an awful lot of politicians [i] rely on [/i]Ignorance to stay in power. It's not a problem that everyone want's to fix.

Gove is back as Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Andrea Leadsom is now the Commons leader.
