UK Election 8th of June

[Steely Glint]

Anyway. Loki's belief in the magical powers of placing potentially corrupt politicians on a different place on the org. chart of government and Hazir's, uh, unique view of history aside:

Labour has closed the gap to 10 points. This is largely being attributed to public reaction the parties manifestos, because the conservatives decided to fill theirs with spiteful nonsense. Labour seem to be a little more optimistic, but a) 10 points is still a very large lead and b) polls tend to underestimate the Tories c) It is likely that the Conservatives took this opportunity of a weak Labour leader to get away with some more unpopular policies, knowing they'd be elected anyway, a decent Labour leader would have had a real shot at this election even without that: a priceless opportunity wasted because certain members of the Labour party decided they'd rather play leftier than thou than govern.

You're denying the vast majority of the subjects of the British Empire did not even have the hope of having a say in how they were governed by London? Democracy and civil rights aren't real if they only exist for a tiny minority. The ones who are off on their history here are the people who try to sell plutocracy under the guise of British democracy as a shining example.
