Shes not Jeremy Corbyn. Thats all.
Elijah Reed
they didn't.
They voted for nige, and "They" chased him out and put this harpy in charge.
She's basically the british angela merckel.
She wants remain, desperately, but can't actually SAY it... but she will continue sabotaging leave every chance she gets.... just watch her.
David Ramirez
i honestly dont know why anyone would, other than to keep comrade corbyn away. She's just a robot with no connection to normal people, tries to be "strong and stable" but just looks weak and unsure.
Owen Morris
This Bitch got in on a default.
Alexander Walker
Wait, you guys don’t vote for a singular person? How is that fair?
Andrew Gomez
Why does she wear the chain?
Jonathan Cox
Maybe Im worng but Im almost certain she was appointed and not elected.
Also Im almost certain that she is pro Remain. I know Ive seen pictures of her waving meme euro union flags
Aiden Phillips
She's kinda qt ngl
Elijah Lewis
non country electing a non PM
Logan Garcia
we didnt lol
Camden Foster
We have parlamentary democracies in europe. Parties elect their own leaders, you just vote for the parties. That and 10+ parties make real change impossible, all the other parties just band together to block out all non-PC ones.
Jaxson Carter
shes not corbyn.
Evan Nguyen

You don't know much about the british electoral system don't you

Everyone I know who voted for her voted to keep corbyn out.

Is this real?

because she's a slave to the globalists

She won a leadership contest for the Tory party, but she was getting so much criticism for being shit that she called an early general election. The election destroyed the Tory party majority (only still in power as a coalition with DUP) thus confirming that everyone thinks she's shit.
Brits tend to vote tactically rather than on principle; they may not like someone, but with vote for the party just to stop the others form winning. I want AV in this country so people actually can vote based on principle, but the government doesn't want to risk smaller "fringe" parties getting MPs.

This isn't about Belgium though.
We didn't elect her, her party appointed her you dimdim.
She got in after losing seats and formed a coalition deal (supply and confidence thing) with the DUP.
The DUP being the anti gay marriage, anti Islam and anti nigger party in Northern Ireland who we all really do secretly love and want to rule this planet because they make American conservatives look like communists.
Suck on my cock you faggot.

>Why exactly did the Brits vote for her? What’s her appeal?
Brexit.
We don't vote for our country's leader by the way. In a parliamentary democracy you vote for MPs individually. The PM has only existed on the legal statute books since the 1930s. It's essentially a constitutional oddity that only exists by virtue of the leading party in the House of Commons traditionally picking a leader that ends up running the country by virtue of being First Lord of the Treasury.
Jose Rodriguez
Bongs don't elect their prime minister. Parliament elects them from within their own number because bongs don't believe in Republican democracy
Anthony Richardson
Probably because we're not a republic.
Samuel Butler
>Parliament elects them from within their own number because bongs don't believe in Republican democracy
It's because of history. We got all of our bumfuck civil wars and shit out of the way in the 1600s before republicanism and autistic constitutionalism became vogue in the Revolutionary period in the late 1700s. We were too busy plundering India to go in for all that new vogue crypto-socialist stuff.
Adam Wood
This. Corbyn is unironically /ourguy/.

We don't directly vote for Prime Ministers, we vote for MPs and whichever party returns the majority of MPs can then go on to form a government with a PM of the party's choosing (providing that their choice is also an MP or in rare circumstances a member of the House of Lords).
Brayden Cox
>Probably because we're not a republic
Literally what I said. You cucks invented the language one would presume you would have above average reading comprehension.
You say this as if civil rights and representative government would not be a positive change for bongistan
Tyler Howard
She's not very bright. That said most politicians aren't - I don't know why we bother fucking talking about them given they aren't the actual power structure we should be hacking at.
Camden Roberts
You said "don't believe in republican democracy". We are not a fucking republic, so it's a given that we don't believe in your SPQR bullshit senate and over inflated state which you proclaim to be against but you're not against it at all.
Faggot.
Angel Stewart
Wot?
She was elected by the party after Cameron stepped down and re elected in a snap general election.
Angel Morgan
It would - and recent events have made it quite clear we need an update, however it's got to actually be up to date with the forces which are operative in this world and the new battlefields illegitimate power can be acquired on.

There are many things we could learn from the U.S on stuff like constitutionally enshrined free speech laws, but the idea that your government is more representative is absolutely laughable. The electoral college, ridiculously overbearing power of your executive and the fucked up bureaucracy created by the federal system means your country is somehow even less democratic than ours - even with our fucked up first past the post system. Plus we have nowhere near the malignant swamp of D.C, replete with hordes of lobbyists and revolving door lawyers and economists. We're bad, just not quite that bad.
Ayden Rogers
She was elected to lead the Conservative party by a majority of MP's we actually voted for.
Technically we don't vote for our PM, the party majority chooses who leads it.
Brayden Long
Didn't Boris Johnson have more support from party members?
David Johnson
>Didn't Boris Johnson have more support from party members?
He did. Now he's been sullied.
Now it's all about Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Luke Lopez
I unironically agree with this.
Landon Hughes
You don’t vote for a PM. You vote for your local MP.
Also Corbyn is a fucking joke, so anything is better than him.
Levi Collins
Technically we didn't vote for her. Us britbongs vote for our own member of parliament in our constituency who gets a seat in parliament. As the Tories won the most seats (without getting a majorityv hence the deal with DUP this time and the deal with the libdems in 2010) they become the government. As she is the leader of the Tories she become the defacto leader of the country. BTW the man who I voted for in my constituency lost, so I'm with a Prime Minister I didn't vote into parliament ( her constituency did) and also an MP I didn't vote for representing my area
Ryan Lewis
Because it was either her or a literal commie.
Jackson Torres
Virtue signalling, look she's a woman after all so she knows what's best.
Lincoln Sanders
may may was elected to kill weebs
Parker Davis
She gives me wood. Sorry guys.
James Fisher
Better leader. Horrendous policies.
This nation would nosedive so hard into such an economic mess that people would go crazy and turn to Islam for salvation.
Maybe it'd force people to go full 14/88 but I'm really not wanting a Wiemar 3.0
Jaxon Bailey
We didn’t vote for her, she just got top job when Cameron chucked his dummy out the pram when he didn’t get his own way about Brexit

Colton Moore
>I can buy plastic cutlery without needing to show an ID
Re-read my post. You're mistaking civil liberties for democratic representation.
Also, you're shitposting.
Lucas Gomez
Aye pretty much, still hate the bitch though.
Elijah Kelly
The electoral college goes by what the state votes for. The point is so that California can't just brute force their beliefs on Nebraska. The executive has little real power, otherwise obongo would have actually accomplished something. Your queen has more power.
Ill give you the bureaucracy but we also vote for the actual people who will hold office. If we dont like a law we can sue the government to the supreme court to get it overturned if the government goes to far.
What is your recourse if your government decides to ban you from voting if you're nonislamic? Gonna go and fight for your rights with your plastic cutlery? Bin that knife bong
Thomas Perry
i know, it's about a real non country. Tough to admit it, but you'll get over it, just don't do it in public or you'll get arrested for hate speech
Brandon Kelly
>vote
We didn't. We voted for Cameron, he left and we got her. Then we voted for an EU exit. Then every party started to shill for a re-vote.
We voted for the only party except for UKIP that would respect the will of the people.
Levi Sullivan
>The electoral college goes by what the state votes for. The point is so that California can't just brute force their beliefs on Nebraska
It essentially means that one person doesn't have one vote. Obviously it makes perfect sense from a stable nation perspective, but not from a democratic perspective. It's a futile exercise to try and argue against that.
>Your queen has more power.
Only theoretically. Constitutional convention means that no British monarch has had any real power on UK soil since the Bill of Rights in 1689. The last time a monarch vetoed legislation was Queen Anne in 1707. The Federal Government is very powerful by the standards of most governments, even with all the attempts at checks and balances.
>we also vote for the actual people who will hold office
So do we. Ministers are elected MPs. Part of the reason we voted for Brexit is because the primary leaders of the EU in the Commission are unelected.
>If we dont like a law we can sue the government to the supreme court to get it overturned if the government goes to far.
So can we. See Gina Miller just last year.
>What is your recourse if your government decides to ban you from voting if you're nonislamic?
Judicial review, same as in your country. Parliamentary sovereignty is a powerful constitutional force, and theoretically limitless. In practical application judges have been willing, just like in the U.S, to interpret law against the will of Parliament - and in particular the Government. The UK Government and its organs pretty regularly get fucked in court.
Brody Bailey
>Seppo doesn't understand Westminster system
Jackson Hughes
Exactly this.
Also the last time labour were in power they managed to fuck up everything and everyone by the time they were done. We have long memories here...
Until we come out of the EU entirely we can't hold all these cucks and cunts responsible and when we do now they reflect and direct back on brexit.
Its just a shame there is no new parties emerging as its unlikely the tories will lose until there is at least barely competition.
Cameron Cooper

Julian Morgan
disgusting, parties should be illegal
Ryan Robinson
you dont vote for the prime minister in the UK. you vote for a person to represent your local constituency in parilament.
more often than not these candidates will be members of a political party, and collectively the party with a majority will generally be the party which is accepted by the queen/king to form a government. who leads this party, and subsequently the government, is the parties concern.
Blake Anderson
Do you think Corbyn was a beta when he was young?

He was banging Abbott. What do you think?

Jeremiah Phillips
I didn't. I voted for UKIP in 2014, 15, 16, then voted Leave. When she became prime minister and called the election I refused to vote for her. She seemed way too polite, bland, boring, appeasing, pc, soft, cowardly, totally establishment and eerily similar to Merkel. The fact that an overwhelming amount of MP's supported her was, and is, a real insight into the horrors that lurk inside their minds. I'm glad I didn't vote for her.
