True, but I’m not peddling Trey Gowdy conspiracy theories.

I must be going insane. Doesn’t that look interesting, flipping pages through a tremendously sized book in that context? I guess not.

I noticed this SW ref in Lord Buckethead’s feed…

(Non UK readers FYI: Theresa May’s slogan was (now somewhat ironically) “Strong and stable”)

Just read up on the DUP. Not sure any situation that increases their power can be considered a good thing. Hope their alliance with the Tories proves fragile, or at least ineffectual.

a shame Mr Buckethead ‘only’ managed 249 votes vs Theresa May in Maidenhead - though he is now free for panto and Dr Who appearances 😉

^ just for clarity - Lord Buckethead is in the black suit, just to the right of the emotionless robot with views from another world in the red suit.

Lord Buckethead looks like the Black Knight from Holy Grail and Darth Vader’s love child.

Oh Good God.

At least the UK isn’t stupid enough to elect such a clown, unlike my country *sigh*.

Most of us in the UK too mate.

this sums up how far the Tories have sunk to get in bed with the DUP… (despite her, her Party and the right wing media being very keen to try and incorrectly link with Corbyn have links with the IRA since he became leader of the Labour Party and throughout the Election)

https://twitter.com/liamyoung/status/873146824059760642

 

and some interesting comments from Jonathan Powell - former chief British negotiator on Northern Ireland - explaining how a Tory/DUP coalition cannot work in a Sky News interview, and also that John Major, when he was PM and struggling, refused to go ‘into an alliance’ with the DUP and why…

A question for you Ukers:

What would have happened if the Conservatives had won a majority of the seats of Parliament, but Theresa May lost her own seat?

I actually listened to some of his promises and his manifesto - it’s not the worst we’ve likely ever seen 😉

Found this image in oojason’s links that pretty much sums up the DUP (aka the Orange Order) for Americans:

And what is it with the color orange anyway? We’ve got an orange guy here too.

The Tories would then hold a leadership election - their MP’s vote for the leader of their party (IIRC). Usually the PM is in one of the safest seats in the country - can’t recall a PM ever losing their own seat - but could happen…

From 2010 (but still applies) - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8497014.stm#lose

Labour members (any member of the public who signs up to join the Labour Party can vote on the leader)

Sorry mate - I’ve no idea on the other parties’ leaders how how they elect them.

The real Elmo? I knew he was evil. It was a dark day on Sesame St. when he took over the show and stole the limelight away from my beloved Grover.

Cookie Monster and his British cousin, Biscuit Monster, hopefully have this covered mate 😃

 

of course Mr Fishfinger was there at the election too…

^ he got 309 votes 😃

Democracy is a good thing but you can have too much of a good thing…

September 2014 - Scottish independence referendum
May 2015 - United Kingdom general election
May 2015 - United Kingdom local elections
May 2016 - Scottish Parliament election
June 2016 - United Kingdom European Union membership referendum
May 2017 - United Kingdom local elections
June 2017 - United Kingdom general election

Only joking but seriously if there is another Indie-Ref, another Brexit vote and another GE this year, I’ll be like the famous Brenda from Bristol…

Never stops being funny. That lady summed up the feelings of the whole country in a few seconds.
