Thinking about getting private health insurance lads, are NHS is only going to get worse over time.

Anyone got any experience of the companies, services and costs involved?

Can we have the fucking vote already?

Reminder that universal suffrage was a mistake.

What's Brit/pol/ currently listening to?

I'm not even ruling that out.

>mfw 200 majority

why haven't nationalists tried registering as MPs and saying they have globalist views to get into power

Yeah there were a lot of panfluid gender LGBTBBQ transracial Muslims in '70s Britain.

Everyone of they types is voting Labour next montj.

Most are too proud to do that sort of thing.

It's not cool to lie about your ideals. Especially since you'll get slaughtered by your party comerades.

*month

How do

Remember to fulfill your duty next month lads.

>'To vote is to wield authority; it is the supreme authority from which all other authority derives—such as mine to make your lives miserable once a day. Force if you will!—the franchise is force, naked and raw, the Power of the Rods and the Ax. Whether it is exerted by ten men or by ten billion, political authority is force.'

politicians lie about their true intentions as a rule

>>since the last time I applied OCD has gone from being classed as temporarily medically unfit condition to a permanently medically unfit condition
They include so many things in this category now, including depression.
Didn't seem like it stopped them scooping up millions of our young lads and sending them overseas to die, whenever the armed forces wanted to?
I'd sooner face a firing squad than agree to fight for these ungrateful unpatriotic bureaucratic bitches.

It's a different kettle of fish to the modern British army though mate. Proper old fashioned discipline and hard work. Pay is average as well but your basically getting €20k with all your housing and food costs already catered for.

pretty good OCsenpai...

Namefags and incessant anime posters are a cancer that needs to be eradicated.
>Not liking anime on an anime imageboard
This is not an anime board. This is a politics discussion board. Posting screenshots of your waifu and spamming shit about teacakes is not political discussion.

If you vote Conservative, you're voting for draconian legislation that attacks our already corroded freedom of speech. The Tories want to make it illegal to link to hate speech sources on social media.

Yeah I looked into, sounds pretty good apart from the fact that you spend more time away from home, and I'm not sure if there are as many transferable skills into civilian life.

i had 2 tunnocks teacakes with my lunch today, hope you're proud of me m8

Gay as fuck, apparently.

Someone explain to me how majorities work because I was under the impression it is 650/2 then whatever is added to 325 is your majority, 326 being a majority of 1, and so on.

I'm not voting Conservative. Does that balance out my animeposting?

Legit.

The armed forces are a joke these days, just wait for a war and sign up. It's shit being in the military in the current year.

When eternal russian hacker will strike our elections? Whom do you think will he support?

nu metal bruh

it's a troll account lads, obviously come on..

It is but Sinn Fein MPs don't count because they don't take their seats then you have the Speaker who is actually a Conservative but counted as neutral in his role.

>there are people who actually believe that account is run by a seven year old girl
Incredible

The krauts know who is in charge and it isn't Angela

It's not. is fake but that girl has met Erdogan and was featured on CNN denouncing Assad

Apparently it's not.

>1pbtid
I'm leaving for the evening anyway you boring cunt, some of us don't get all our meals cooked by our mams

You've actually mentioned politics, so it's fine. Also I'm not saying there's anyone better to vote for, just that the Conservatives are another authoritarian nightmare like all the other parties. The only benefit of voting Tory is that your taxes will be lower while they import Muslims and arrest you for speaking out against it.

I love the prime minister

>Tory landslide on June 8 will inspire creation of new centrist party to replace Labour, Vince Cable predicts

And thus Blair was welcomed back into the fold, backed with Anna Soubry and Nick Clegg.

anime website, fuck off to reddit.

>vote
who though, the system is a scam.

I don't understand how they got the working majority as 12 when the Conservatives won 330 seats out of 650

>not understanding that it's the internet, video games and anime that keeps you a virgin

Everyone got laid back then, user. If you wanted to do anything - literally anything - you had to actually leave the house and interact with people, which built social cache and developed interpersonal skills.

If you want to learn something new right now, you can stay where you are and go on Wikipedia. You can even do it without leaving your bed. Back then, you had to get up, go out and travel to the library. You would have to talk to the woman on the desk, you might meet someone you know there and you would have to talk to them, you might meet someone on the bus. And so on. It all adds up after a while.

Good lord...

>tony Blair will be PM again in your lifetime
t-thinggsss...

My dick is getting pretty hard lads

Question to foreigners: Why post in Brit/pol/?

Could a genuine right-wing party come out of this election lads?
Will the Tories go to the right?
Will UKIP bounce back?
Are there any other parties worth paying attention to?

>inb4 muh BNP.
national socialism isn't right wing

It was also a very popular period for serial killers. All that forced socialisation sounds maddening

Anyone saw the new McDonalds advert? Jarring...

It's a bit fucked because Sinn Fein boycott parliament so the Tories have more than they do on paper.

Any of you lads have that collage of all the awful guardian headlines saved?

Both Labour and Tories need to split into two but I don't think we will see it without PR.

To add to this, it's a 'real' account, i.e. the kid exists, but she is a figurehead, often retweeted by Rowling and her ilk. It is clearly propaganda.

It's the same deal with Harry Leslie Smith, who has no input on his tweets (his son curates his account) and instead is just a figurehead for a movement.

when WAS the last time we had a genuine right-wing party?

>THREE PER CENT
JUST
U
S
T

>centrist party to replace Labour

why? if you're a centrist faggot that loves dildos up your ass just vote for the fucking lib dems

it's likely to happen to labour within the year, but i don't see the tories splitting, although you could argue that it already happened with in the form of ukip.

How can it be forced? It's the natural order of things. If anything, now is abnormal as it's completely possible - thanks to the internet - for someone to basically stay at home and never speak to another person for months at a time.

>Could a genuine right-wing party come out of this election lads?
No. Normies don't want genuine right-wing, they want centre-right at most.

>Will the Tories go to the right?
Probably not, they're quite comfortable being Blairites, and they'll get more than a few more years out of 'my mum voted Tory' tribalism.

>Will UKIP bounce back?
Not until they get a new figurehead to stop the in-fighting and give them some clear direction.

>Are there any other parties worth paying attention to?
Nah.

>man who successfully forced the referendum of a lifetime and gave this country as hope in hell of unfucking its shit
yeah "just"

Hello we are nationalists but we don't believe our nation is competent or strong enough to prosper on it's own therefore we support parasitically attaching ourselves to England who we really love to attack whenever possible.

UKIP needs rebranding

bonus points if you can keep the anagram

It's more interesting than American politics for sure, and more interesting countries than the UK don't have these generals. Also the fact that Brit/pol/ held fast when Sup Forums went bonkers has earned my respect.
Sometimes there's a question asked that's not related to britain, so maybe I can answer that.
Lastly; I always enter threads that start with anime images. I can't explain why, it happens on instinct.

what does this means i dont know what this means

the closest (i stress that) we've had in my lifetime was thatcher's government, and then early ukip.

unfortunately the """""conservatives""""" will continue to head left towards the centre to occupy the ground left by new labour.

the public voting to leave the EU was the perfect opportunity/excuse for them to move to the right and they've failed to do it.

United Kingdom Imperial Party

un-kucking ingland party

Guess which soft fondant biscuit treat I had last night I ha last night Tunnocks-chan.

depressing reading there lad.

United Kingdom Improvement Party

Anyone got that Peter Hitchens tweet where he says "where's the bloody morals" or something like that. Also is it real?

Lads I'm starting to think Labour have a chance. I'm noticing a bubbling-under-the-surface vote, like with Brexit.

LABOUR IN SHOCK POLLING RISE*

*to a mere 18 points behind the conservativea

Union (of) Kang-ly Immigrants Party

Get off Facebook and Twitter. They are loony left echo chambers.

Only if Corbyn stays on.

As reported by The Times, the plan is for the Blairites, who will presumably still form a majority of the PLP, will form their own political grouping within the Commons thus entitling them to the position Official Opposition with all that that entails (shadow cabinet, first right of reply to ministers, office of the leader of the opposition etc.) thus making the "continuity Labour Party" (Corbyn's group of Labour MPs) the third or fourth largest political grouping thus side-lining them hugely from the political spotlight.

Once/if Corbyn resigns as leader of continuity labour the blairite grouping will reunite with continuity Labour, perhaps rebrand, and then fight the 2022 general election under one Labour banner with the blairites back in full control

The big question here is if the blairites can hope to hold onto continuity labour. Leaving the PLP will be grounds for automatic dismissal from the Labour Party, so the blairites must simultaneously remain in control of continuity labour's NEC (to ensure another Corbynite isn't elected and to allow the blairites back in after Corbyn goes) whilst also controlling what is essentially a different political party. Further, if continuity labour only allows PLP members to run for leader, (as are the rules) then some blairites will need to remain within continuity labour in order to run for leadership again, otherwise you're consigning continuity labour to nothing but a slate of Corbynite candidates for eternity.

Although the handling of the issue in the Commons will be straight-forward, this will be tricky for the BBC/Ofcom to manage, considering that all of those MPs in the new "progressive" faction will have been elected with Corbyn as leader and with a Corbyn manifesto, so how they'll handle equal air-time is anyone's guess. Regardless, say hello to Leader of the Opposition Yvette Cooper.

If Britain were divided into states like the USA, what state would you like your county to be in? For example N, E, S and W Yorkshire should become the state of Yorkshire. It already has a common history, heraldry, identity.

I'd stay in the State of Wessex. White as fuck.

Republic of Cornwall.
Annex Devon.
Emmets get out.
