Absolutely. May and the Tories need to GTFO.

It's about to happen. It's about to become official. Cons about to lose their majority.

I did vote for the Liberal Democrats but anything to keep May's hands off my government. She's a melt, she is going to abuse our human rights in the name of counter-terrorism (a job she should have done something about whilst Home Secretary), she would have pushed for hard Brexit, increased austerity, etc.

The Democratic Unionist Party? Eh, I dunno man, there's been no reason for it before and it was probably piss off the SNP, I think best-case scenario is May will resign and Corbyn will work with a new leader and hopefully keep them in check. But as far as I know it is unheard of, I've never seen that being suggested.

Oh, I'm not a fan either. Even though I lean slightly right (as much as a fairly moderate libertarian can), I still can't fathom her awfulness continuing. I hoped for a Tory minority with the Lib Dems to create a coalition government, but with May doing the honourable thing and resigning because she very clearly didn't get what she had hoped for by calling the election.

I asked about the DUP because everyone was talking about a coalition with the Lib Dems being a possibility, but also the SNP which seemed strange given the Tory-SNP priorities. As they had nearly the same amount of seats as the Lib Dems, I was wondering if the Tories would ever consider a coalition with them to hang onto power. Or, at the furtherest, a Tory-Lib Dem-DUP coalition if it became necessary.

I'm just not used to so many parties! In Canada, we have the big three; four if you count our token Green seat.

I think what I am going to do is have the PLR be a Hermit Empire of some sorts similar to that of the NK. I want it to appear as though the outside has little to no information as to what life is like in the inside of the PLR and for those that wish to visit and tour must do a government sanctioned and sponsored program that you only see what we allow for you to see. Yeah this means I will probably have little to no allies but that is okay. So yeah, I think the PLR internationally will be a hermit

A disappointing night for the SNP, especially since they lost 2 bigwigs (Salmond and Robertson) but they still have a majority. I think this will give the party a kick up the backside to up its game and get more aggressive with its rivals.

The Tories won their cluster of Scottish seats because of sheepshaggers in the North East and southern snobs who might as well be English given their proximity to the border and their general attitude. I hope they are proud of themselves. I just hope they are the first and longest to suffer under Kim Jong May's regime.

Okay Cersei, dial it back :P

But I hear you- not a strong election for the SNP. And May should resign. Cameron resigned because a referendum passed that he did not support, which I thought was honourable save for the fact that it allowed May to come to power. If that were the precedent in Canada, Mulroney would have had to have resigned in 1992 with the failure of the Charlottetown Accord.

Anyways, if you call an election to garner a stronger majority to implement a foreign policy initiative but end up with a minority government and a much stronger opposition as a result, I'd say that it's the right thing to do to step aside.

May is too arrogant to stand down. Thinks too highly of herself. Although she looks like a right stupid bitch going from a Tory majority to a minority government propped up by unionist arselickers in Britain's unwanted appendage, Northern Ireland.

Your government now depends on a bunch of bigots stuck in 1690, Theresa. Well done. Very strong and stable.

Oh, is she entering a coalition with the DUP, or a supply and confidence agreement? Or just informally relying on them not to shoot her down given that the alternative is Corben?

The less contentious choice, I would think, would be the Lib Dems. But they tried that back in 2010 and, I believe my boyo told me, May referred to that as the "coalition of chaos" or something.

Informal agreement. The DUP will demand some concessions in exchange for them keeping the government afloat. Labour, SNP and Lib Dems joining together could not have stopped the Tory-DUP alliance.

What could have stopped it would have been if Sinn Fein decided to take their seats and sided with the progressive alliance of Labour, SNP and Lib Dems. But they wont take their Westminster seats under any circumstances.

This is why the UK needs rid of Northern Ireland. Half the province sends unionist c*nts who lick the Tory anus and the other half vote in MPs who wont even sit in the damn Parliament.

Oh, Sinn Fein refuses to attend the legislature. Interesting. There was a time back in the 90s when the Bloc Quebecois, our Quebec separatist party who at the time attended legislature only sporadically and with the purpose of trying to stir up mayhem, was elected as Canada's official opposition.

Oh, how it must have killed their party leader to swear allegiance to the English (language, not country) Queen so as to become leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition.

Do they not need to meet a minimum attendance record? In Canada our MPs and Senators have to be present for at least one day per session. Which is a ridiculously low standard, given that a single session can last years.

No, I mean they speak with such Anglicised accents that they sound more English than Scottish. They tend to be affluent and Tory so vote more like the English. Many English also settle in the south. They are also very unionist and generally just behave more like English people than Scots. That's why I say they might as well just declare themselves part of England.

How May is going to please both the ultra right fringes of her party and a solid Labour opposition is beyond me.

I'm really excited to get involved in aspects of this region that aren't existent in Libertatem, especially the aspects of Direct Democracy and Roleplay. Hopefully, you guys can welcome me and show the ropes.

Oh, so you resigned? Even though you could prove that it was because you and a classmate both using your school's broadband and that's why you were booted from the WA and had the mods get kinda inappropriately involved in your region's politics?

Kind of a shame. But, glad you're here!

Yeah, cleared my name, but when I got to thinking about it there's no way to really clear your name after something like that.

Thought maybe it was best that I start over in the politics of another region, so here I am.

Penguania And Antarctica

This is what irony looks like.

Hope you have fun in our region.

I mean, you can have some depending on exactly what our criteria is.

If you mean those Hyper-Sonic missiles....no, but if you mean regular ICBMs, than I think that you could produce a somewhat limited number.

By the power invested in me as President of the Confederacy of Free Nations, I hereby sign the Sister Region Treaty, and authorize my delegate, [nation=short+noflag]Baxten[/nation], to do the same.

Oh no I was talking about this:

[spoiler]"After much consideration the Christian Theocracy of the Cross and Davids Star has reluctantly decided to give up on its chemical weapons program and is sending chemical weapons to plants to await destruction. However, in doing so TCaDS has turned its eyes towards other means of defending itself and has now shifted and modified all factories which originally created chemical weapons to now create missiles ranging from short-range ballistic missiles to intercontinental ballistic missiles, giving the idea that TCaDS is now attempting to create a massive missile program. While nations such as Andromitus can breathe a sigh of relief due to the removal of chemical weapons they they may also face the threat of intercontinental ballistic missiles, though this is very much unlikely as TCaDS is currently undergoing major changes to its military. Relating news the Christian Theocracy is becoming more isolationist than before, communicating directly to nations in its inner circle, such as Magnatronia."[/spoiler]

When I said he didn't have ICBM's I meant that they were not physically present yet and will not be present for a long time :D

What could have stopped it would have been if Sinn Fein decided to take their seats and sided with the progressive alliance of Labour, SNP and Lib Dems. But they wont take their Westminster seats under any circumstances.

This is why the UK needs rid of Northern Ireland. Half the province sends unionist c*nts who lick the Tory anus and the other half vote in MPs who wont even sit in the damn Parliament.

This is just my two cents as an American who has studied a lot of The Troubles: Northern Ireland needs to stay British purely for the fact that if it goes to Ireland, you will see a rise in the IRA and PIRA again and you will see much, much bloodshed. Red Hand Commandos would turn into what the IRA was. It wouldn't be good for anyone.

Why would the IRA rise after a united Ireland? That was their aim. What you might see in a united Ireland is a hysterical unionist cohort resorting to violence because democracy has dared to go against them. If they do become violent, they will be swiftly dealt with. Ireland's future should not be held hostage by a bunch of bigoted Orange thugs.

It wasn't just about a United Ireland, it was Protestants vs. Catholics. That's where you'd see the rise again. An Irish version of the Black and Tans.

So NI is to remain the UK's last colony because some unionists might shoot people? What a convincing argument. Just shows what a disgusting situation it really is.

I don't think it's really considered a colony, and also the Northern Irish still want to be apart of the U.K. Yes, it is a bad situation. It has been for a very long time. If they want to be there, then what's the issue with having them? It's like the one place that actually wants to be British.

Lol they are deluded. They want to be British yet they live in another island in another country. (I know NI is part of the UK but you know what I mean.) They of course want to remain "British" because they know where their bread is buttered. They are spoon-fed by Westminster and don't want to cut the umbilical cord. So long as they have their wee union jack, Queen and Orange marches (plus plenty of British taxpayer cash) they are content to remain unwanted afterthoughts of the British state.

More power to them I say. As a Scots nationalist, I'm all for self-determination.

Well jokes on you, William Wallace, this Sassenach has 5 quick tricks on how to become rich quick and it involves setting up a colony in this place called New Caledonia. Although it might look like a pyramid scheme it is actually a loch scheme, very different.
