    Bollocks! Before said elections, there was a resignation. Politics 101.

    Just like Corbyn, those expressing that a 2nd referendum is the best next step are not Socialist but Communist. Communism and Nazism have much more in common then we think, hence why Sturgeon is head of the Scottish Nazi Party. Labour and the SNP are the same cancerous Communist UK parties.

    You should hear Corbyn sing "The Red Flag".

    Hysterical...

    Good ideal.

    I’m going to see if we can play the 2018 ALCS again..pretty sure the Astros could beat the Red Sox if we got a second chance...

    If not then third times the charm as they say!

    Are you British? I hope not, to be so unaware of the politics of the UK and so aggressive when you do not know what you are talking about!

    Could you show what in the Labour or SNP manifestos were communist policies, or is this more rhetoric without understanding?

    EDIT. and it a third referendum being called for, not second.

    How you getting on with my leave question?

    Pfft. You don't understand the American constitutional process. Trump could finish serving out two terms in 2025 before a Constitutional Amendment passed to change how often we vote. And it still wouldn't pass because it takes a 3/4 majority.

    With all due respect that’s unrealistic and counter productive to a functional government.

    The No confidence vote has been won by May by 19 votes. There is talk about asking for an extension of leave past March and of trying to get a definite policy of no No deal. A couple of days ago it was announced that around £1 trillion had gone from our banks to Europe.

    Never known a country in such suicide mode.

    Mays must have worked up a really bad deal that was rejected. Probably took even more sovereignty away in the process.

    Why have you just proved yourself incorrect?
    In July 2016, following the resignation of David Cameron, May was elected unopposed as Conservative Party Leader, becoming the second female Prime Minister after Margaret Thatcher. As Prime Minister, May began the process of withdrawing the UK from the European Union, triggering Article 50 in March 2017 then, the following month, announcing a snap general election in June, with the aim of strengthening her hand in Brexit negotiations.[4][5] This resulted in a hung parliament, in which the number of Conservative seats fell from 330 to 317, despite the party winning their highest vote share since 1983, prompting her to broker a confidence and supply deal with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) to support a minority government.

    So May called a snap election to strengthen her hand, she screwed it up.

    Feel free to contribute, but if you need help with facts, best to check them before showing your ignorance!

    Just wait...the next thing that starts coming out in the media will be how Russia basically cheated for trump to win the US election.

    I'm not saying Hillary was without flaws...i'm saying trump conspired with Russia to win. Just keep watching the news.

    We've got a lot of the same squeaky Communist wheels here in the States - they organized a lot of the anti-Trump rallies you may have seen on TV (their prefab signs are always a dead giveaway).

    As for Communism and Nazism they do have a lot in common, most notably their common socialist roots. Same thing with fascism. As Benito Mussolini confessed, "in the great river of Fascism one can trace currents which had their source in Sorel, Peguy, Lagardelle of the Movement Socialists..."

    Trump and Clinton were the worst two nominees I can remember. It was not an election of voting for someone, it was a election of voting against someone. Clinton lost that race to Trump, which should embarrass her to no end..

    That is not the fault of the Russians..that’s all on her...

    If she screwed up, how come she is a Prime Minister? And didn't she become Prime Minister after Mr. Cameron resigned?

    American college campuses are full of socialist and communist. All they are missing are the brown shirts from the 1930s....

    The only referendums that should be considered is one with a clear question and adjoining process description voted with a clear majority, read supermajority, of at least 60% when such votes will have such an important impact.

    As for the uk surviving, they were barely making it by themselves in the 70's. Post WW2 UK is a broken shell of what it once was. They don't have access to the commonwealth ressources anymore. And frankly, personnaly, I can't find a single made in the UK product in my house...

    She was re-ellected. She botch it up by losing some of the seats.

    :roflol::roflol::roflol:

    Well as Paul Mason was saying on Real News today, the Labour Party unlike the Democratic Party in the US does not have the support of Corporate Power. It has to rely on working and middle class people. Now fascism which you appear to be fascinated by does work well with Corporate Power so I suspect you need to find a less bias source for learning.
