My preferred candidate would in fact be Jo Swinson. Would you care to find something nasty to say about her?And I do prefer Johnson to Corbyn or Farage, but that is not a compliment to Johnson. |

IAWTP.Also, Johnson has his Trumpish qualities, but he is smarter than Trump and not quite as willing to sell out his country for minor personal gain. |

I agree that he's smarter, but he's using those smarts to undermine the foundation of the govt, meaning that he has a better chance than Trump of doing it. Once you undermine that, the damage will be worse than the socialistic tendencies of the others, IMO, not only because he'll wreck the balance of the govt, but because he will also have freer reign to do damage in other areas. That includes persecuting minorities, even when considering the racist and anti-Semitic tendencies of the others. Those tendencies are by no means good, but I don't think they've reached the level of militant (I hope). |

I see Johnson being at least as dangerous. Trump is more amoral, but he's almost completely impulsive - it's harder for him to create and follow a strategy, so it will take longer to achieve a malicious objective, if at all. Johnson is smarter, wilier, and more focused - he's more knowledgeable about his govt's weaknesses and loopholes, and he's willing to exploit them for his own gain, even if he doesn't throw his country under the bus. |

The difference is that while I think Trump is pathologically incapable of serving anything but his own interest, Johnson is doing what he feels is best for the UK. |

It will be interesting to see what happens to Ireland.Johnson doesn't seem to give a shit about Ireland, and will probably let Northern Ireland stay in the EU Customs Union, causing a customs boundary down the middle of the Irish Sea. That will push Northern Ireland into the arms of the Irish Republic as soon as Catholic voters are 50.01%. Or even well before, because quite a few Protestants will realize their future lies with the Republic, which doesn't really have an established church any more. |

I don't think he's doing it for the best of the UK, but, yeah, it seems unlikely he'll sell his country out. I think he was just being a rabble rouser who got chosen for prime minister as "punishment" for pushing Brexit. |

Hmm.Sinn Fein got 47% of the vote in Northern Ireland, DUP 43%, and non-sectarian parties who very much want to stay in the EU got 10%. Looks like a solid majority supporting the closest possible ties with the Republic. Doesn't look good for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland even before considering what might happen with Scotland. |

"Would you care to find something nasty to say about her?"Sorry, I don't do work for arrogant dipshits for free. And considering I made two errors, and this isn't even the right thread, it's telling that you folks are all on a rampage here instad of where the facts are. |

At least they don't need Term Limits.If we had this system, I wouldn't be seeing the same people change their positions in a 360, and break precident, due to all of them becoming senile. All of them should've resigned 30 years ago. |

Yeah, so while everyone breaths happy that little Corbyn is gone (and I couldn't stand that guy before him either), don't let anyone forget that leaked memo that came out that lays out how the bulk of the UK Democrats are all nazi's. |

Labour is not the sole contingent of such people; there is also the Liberal Democratic Party or LibDems. There are also fringe parties like the British National Party (BNP), Scottish National Party (SNP), and others. |

I'm not even going to get into the fringe groups. Canada has a lot of fringe parties, but it's really a two party system, now with some small liberal group that is called the neo-democrats I think. That's fitting since they go around defacing Jewish made products in chain stores and advertising in hate newspapers.Otherwise, if you go that road, I'm not sure about the states you vote in, but the list every Presidential election cycle, especially in Florida and Texas, is MASSIVE. Did you know we had about a dozen communist running on the ballot every 4 years? |
