A Political Thread

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Yes all of that.

This BBC article goes some way to explaining it

The biggest issue boils down to FPTP system and how it disenfranchises voters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2015#Results the key thing to look at is how votes does not equal seats and huge disparity between the two. couple with the fact our media like to pretend we have two party politics and those two parties have been the Center-Right Conserveratives and the Center-Left Labor felling like there is a lot of choice. Successive governments have not made it feel like they listen to concern of little man and there is a feeling to sticking it to them. For example a lot of people are still angry that the bankers got bailed out it global recession whilst many people lost their jobs.

There is a also strong streak of people feeling we are loosing out identity and fear that immigration is diluting us down.

oh yes, the good old argument of eugenics

The biggest difference between now and our Golden Age: we have no empire anymore.

We've never let that sort of thing put us off before.
Probably start with Ireland - seems the traditional place for us to look towards. After tha... do we know anywhere rich in natural resources and completely incapable of defending itself?

There's a chance Ireland are going to take territory from us if anything!

Nah, I got a 6 and a 3 last time - I'm feeling confident

That's more like it - plenty of cabbages; and we can mint a celebratory coin! Besides - just 1 cavalry charge would do it.

My god 800 years and you're back again? You lot are like a Windows 10 update. Won't take no for an answer. Besides you couldn't afford the helium you'd need to keep our huge heads afloat whenever we do moderately well in a sporting event.

oh oh oh the Saudi's are likely to give us a good punch up!

I mean the last few crusades went badly, but to be fair they can't use their ability to handle castle siege to defend against Predator missiles.

But... we're English. Why would we keep your heads afloat? let e'em drown I say!

Mind you - we might let you get away this time; we've moved on from Catholicism, it's Islam that needs to be rooted out now. Starve the infidel!

Mate don't listen to him, honestly, most of us are trying to give you bits back

Trump grew up on the mean streets man, he's hard as ****

Ah! Should have been clearer.

Very frowned upon by countries that are bigger and richer than us.

A good plan to take over Ireland would be to send in secret agents and litter the entire country in the space of a night, when the Irish awake their good guy nature will take over and will start cleaning whilst no doubt serenading a women tourist from some place with the potato song in a manner that is cringey and borders on harassment.

That is when we strike.



I mean if done correctly then this could big huge for the UK, get experts of the industry to handle the laws for said industry etc etc, look to other trade markets.

But that would require logic which Governments tend to always lack in.

Basically we have prob 2 years roughly to make us look more appealing to Scotland than the EU, Although with the Oil being the price it is ATM they are not in as strong a position that they thought they where last time.

Sod Ireland! Place has more rain than here, we need a nice unstable African country with nice weather and a decent coastline for fishing. Sierra Leone looks good and they have diamonds too. Win win

Sounds good we can show the **** out these how to behave like civilised people as well.

Absolutely! I'm happy to provide the locals with tourist jobs etc think we need someone like Mike Ashley as head of enforced labour. Now Cameron's without a job we could make him or Blair high commissioner (no real difference) and George Osborne could be a parking velvet at the local big knobs country club.
