BREXIT Crunch time (part 38) WTF is going to happen next?

[killer b]

This is interesting (I didn't know this about En Marche, but it makes total sense)

 

[quimcunx]

If we have a GE I'm going to have to vote Labour for the 2nd time in my life. It will be worth it if it ousts Chuka Umunna. If he wins I might cry.

the Brexit karaoke party is banging :

shouldn't it be CUK?

Yeah, I've seen a lot of people gleefully calling them cucks this morning, like it's just fine to appropriate the language of the far right as long as it's us saying it.

To that end, TIG have just announced they're registering as a political party, 'Change' with a view to running in them.

Is that because the only votes they’ll get is from a few coppers?

I think they might do ok tbh - and it would be a great launch for a general election campaign if they did. Everything to play for.

I’ve never heard the term before, and so looked it up in Urban Dictionary. Not much wiser. Is it a widely-used truncation? What is it’s association with the far right? (Aside from stemming from an objectionable sexual politics).

I am seriously considering sticking an insurance bet on May to resign today at 25/1.

Those are decent odds, imo. You'll be annoyed when she resigns on Sunday instead.

Yeah if Euro elections happen before a GE - bearing in mind it's a PR system based on regions - they'd do very well. Sadly.

Need to make sure we have a GE first!

very popular in the alt-right swamp.

yes, cuck is now shorthand for cuckold among the alt right. And a king insult for them to use

I am agonising. Agonising. Fiver at 25/1 returns £130.

Thanks.

 

[DotCommunist]

Change. I can here the theme tune already. Something you can drive to, leather gloves

They sound delightful.

That’s Chain, isn’t it?

It is used by the same people who use the term 'cultural marxism', but with an added twist of misogyny. There are strangely horrible groups of people in the world.

Fuck it. It's done.

RESIGN YOU HEINOUS TORY SCUMBAG.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

RESIGN YOU HEINOUS TORY SCUMBAG.

I reckon that's a good bet, especially given your other one. You might be sweating over the weekend, though.

Nah as long as she's gone by end of April I'm £50 up whatever but will be delighted if she goes early!

Tomorrow is still March.

Surely that's a massively short-sighted name? Once you've changed things, what, you're going to change them again, and just keep changing and changing and changing. Or, once you've changed things, you'll then become Status Quo?

(I can imagine them putting some kind of "constant evolution, politics/life is never static" argument, but I'm almost certain that would be reactionary post-justification rather than thought-out policy)

 

[killer b]

I don't think they necessarily see themselves as a long-term project tbh

It's more of a stupid name in that if they believe in anything, it's not too much change. Careful now.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Moderate sensible change for all.

 

[Crispy]

When's the vote today?

 

[andysays]

Something about a crash out.

On penalties...

...to Germany
