Not a chance.

Yeah, well, everyone said that about this fucknugget getting the Repub nom, or the presidency:

So it seems like nothing is beyond the pale these days.

We can't afford it.

Yossarian

My money is on an early election.

I'm sure the powers that be can find all kinds of ways to divert billions into some bombs and a flag-waving little war excursion, and when the bill comes we'll "all be in it together! We have to tighten our belts to support our troops! And also, we need more tax cuts for the wealthy so that more of the wealth can trickle down!".

Or resignation.

The best bet I think.
What the fuck kind of opposition is there?

If it's war, then there'd have been news of a break out all over the shop by now.

Vela

Wenger resigned?

Bollockoff

Churchill Land theme park.

GENERAL ELECTION ON THE 8th of JUNE!!?

Yossarian

GE, 8th of June. The results will be profoundly depressing.

She's always been a closet Birmingham fan so she's going to announce a block on Harry's appointment today.

Hypercunts. Burn them alive.

I suspect this will be one of the easiest electoral wins in history. All the more depressing because it really, really shouldn't be.

djchump

Well, at least it's not nuclear armageddon.

Brooks

Can we get Poots to rig this one too, I mean why the fuuuuuck not.

djchump

At least this election should see the final collapse of UKIP.
No doubt that gurning cunt will manage to weasel his way into the news broadcasts somehow though. sigh.

SNP, Labor and LibDems have nothing to lose. Unity on a no-Brexit platform for the common good. If they win, sanity prevails. If they lose and the tories win comfortably, then the country is finished and they might as well take the reigns during the inevitable crises to follow.

HawBawJaws

Bloody hell, snap GE.

Scotland will vote SNP, england will vote Tory, that'll be justification in their eyes to pursue the hardest of brexits, but not justification for SNP to pursue another indyref.

In Scotland, labour will desperately try to convince us to vote for them rather than SNP because they'll 'hold the Tories to account' or some other such bullshit, completely forgetting that to a large chunk of us up here, labour and Tory are indistinguishable.

Labour will probably take a doing in England as well, the Tories will laugh their arses off all the way to brexit.

Dark days..........

This is an opportunity...

Petey will be the party chairman.
Muzzy will be our Chancellor.

The leadership is up for grabs, but yourself, Gnozo and Stopharage are in the running.
Policy, barring one dissenter (BHD - ~.~) has already been determined.

We can clean up here, people...

Corbyn has already ruled out any sort of pact, plus he isn't actually anti-Brexit.

We're fucked.

I've got a lot of shit on Gonz.

Corbyn will run the most limp wristed campaign ever seen, and bang on about the will of the people. So if they vote in labour it'll be 'the people were right' then he'll probably get turfed out by his own party. If they vote Tory, it'll be 'not my fault guv, will of the people'. Then he'll likely get turfed out anyway.

Yossarian

If Corbyn has any sense he's shiteing himself.

cockbeard

Well then this is your chance to all vote for either a green or an indy candidate

But we know that won't happen, so hey

Stopharage

Jeez, this is going to be a truly awful couple of months. You can shout until you're Smurf-faced about the decimation of the public sector but Corbyn will still be in people's minds.

[Deleted User]

Don't worry lads, this is where Jeremy corbyn reveals that he's been pretending to be shit all along, and he pops his shirt off to reveal a buff superstar corbo max 2017

Kazuo

Bonus for Labour voters: at least you'll likely now be shot of Corbyn by the end of June, rather than by 2020 or whenever he was hoping to hang on until. Of course, there won't be much of a party for anyone to step up and lead afterwards, but every cloud etc.

Stopharage

Time for Emperor Attenborough and Field Marshall Fry to take over.

Yes. But the interesting thing here, is that there's a good chance that people will vote on ideology this time... Not personalities.

Brexit was so close, and so painful, that people may use Red vs Blue as a proxy for In vs Out... If the Labour party can actually look human come the time, the outcome may well be favourable...

He pays extra for that.

He'd make an exceptional Home Secretary...
