Im sure they wont go to that level, all this talk of civil war is probobly not going to happen.

2019-10-16 10:40:13 UTC  

A police state is quite likely

2019-10-16 10:45:25 UTC  

Potato gun?

2019-10-16 10:46:25 UTC  

You don’t really do civil wars anymore.
It’s civil unrest now

2019-10-16 11:06:02 UTC  

gbp jumping up again

2019-10-16 11:06:37 UTC  

was hoping for a little selloff so I could get back in and short the euro

2019-10-16 11:07:48 UTC  

our inflation is down as well

2019-10-16 11:07:57 UTC  

or... not down.. below target...

2019-10-16 11:08:03 UTC  

up 1.7%

2019-10-16 11:08:23 UTC  

signifies less chance of a rate hike

2019-10-16 11:10:02 UTC  

That sounds OK to me

2019-10-16 11:10:25 UTC  

And Con's still short by those polls

2019-10-16 11:19:58 UTC  

The Brexit party is only 11% at the poles?, WHAT!

2019-10-16 11:20:24 UTC  

Sounds about right

2019-10-16 11:20:57 UTC  

I thought they would be well ahead of everyone else.

2019-10-16 11:21:09 UTC  

Why?

2019-10-16 11:21:44 UTC  

Look at what both labour and the conservitives are doing, they are a laughing stock.

2019-10-16 11:22:07 UTC  

Cons kind of pulled the rug out from under them @Great Britain with BoJo's recent drive to do what people voted for.

2019-10-16 11:22:08 UTC  

Boris is the figure that everyone is watching.
And he is getting the sympathy when parliament and the opposition screw him over

2019-10-16 11:22:33 UTC  

Also, the first past the post system kinda guarantees hegemony for the 2-party system

2019-10-16 11:22:54 UTC  

Boris is doing ok, I like how he is fighting for his position and trying to get brexit done right

2019-10-16 11:23:49 UTC  

But he isnt one of us

2019-10-16 11:24:25 UTC  

parties are gay anyways

2019-10-16 11:24:33 UTC  

but inevitable

2019-10-16 11:24:51 UTC  

@Great Britain maybe not, but he's walking like a duck and quacking like a duck so he's duck enough for most people

2019-10-16 11:25:03 UTC  

inevitable in this sort of system

2019-10-16 11:25:11 UTC  

He isnt addressing the bigger issues such as the cause of all this knife crime, the male suicide rates and our low birth rates as well as the issue of mass immigration.

2019-10-16 11:27:05 UTC  

He has addressed mass immigration

2019-10-16 11:27:21 UTC  

He has proposed in the queens speech a move to a points-based system

2019-10-16 11:27:27 UTC  

With FPTP is all tactical voting and voting for people with “close enough goals”
I want to vote for UKIP but if I do it’s very likely that my vote will just go to waste

2019-10-16 11:27:49 UTC  

I live in an area where the Tories polled >50% last election, so I have some fredom

2019-10-16 11:28:05 UTC  

Didnt have time to watch the queens speech

2019-10-16 11:28:17 UTC  

You don't need to, you can read the transcript

2019-10-16 11:28:38 UTC  

What is this points based system?

2019-10-16 11:29:02 UTC  

I don't know the details and likely it hasn't been published yet

2019-10-16 11:29:11 UTC  

But they were using Australia as a model

2019-10-16 11:29:37 UTC  

I would imagine the idea is that you require x-points to qualify, and points are given for desired skills, language etc

2019-10-16 11:29:42 UTC  

I know the immigration is pretty bad over there as well

2019-10-16 11:30:48 UTC  

I guess the idea is to only allow the immigrants with skills in.
Rather then having a accept **everyone** and hope they are doctors and scientists in there

2019-10-16 11:31:27 UTC  

Basically
