The Official UK Election Thread! 6th May it is!

How is Galloway any more unpleasant than the rest of the bunch of tossers who get into power?

Think about it. It'll come.

 

[jimbob]

No. She jumped ship specifically because the UUP got into bed with the Tories.

Thanks...

But... I thought that the Conservative and Unionist Party historically didn't stand in NI because of an agreement with the UUP.

I think this was a more official tie-up than gentlemen's agreement, and she seems to have been a more left-leaning unionist.

I've only just managed to check the results in my home constituency (has a rather stressful day helping my Mum move house yesterday, mostly waiting for the chain to complete). No great surprises, John Redwood held on to Wokingham with an increased share of the vote, though one ward out of the twenty (not mine) did go from Conservative to Lib-Dem in the local council election, but that had no effect overall.

Anyone know if Kelvin McKenzie has left the country yet (apparently he promised to go to Belize if there were a hung parliament)?

That filthy piece of sub-human slime?

I hope he leaves soon. On his own. Auto-piloted plane. Set to fly via Iceland....

I think that is too kind

Yep

With Piers Morgan alongside him...

So far, so good for Britain.

1). Idiotic Islamist buffoon (George Galloway) tossed out.
2). Idiotic Islamist buffoon's protege (Salma Yaqoob) lost.
3). Neo-fascists (BNP) won not a single seat.
4). Isolationist cranks (UKIP) cut down to their natural size.
5). Self-important Lib-dem know-it-alls get less than 10%.

There is some sanity in Britain after all.

And yet they polled 24% of the popular vote. Sanity... not so much.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

With Piers Morgan alongside him...

I would say yes, but I actually found myself agreeing with Piers on the election program...

 

[Skeptic]

The Jerusalem post's reaction -- "Divided electorate? Post-election confusion? Sounds familiar..."

Don't encourage him.

1)You mean the idiotic Islamist buffoon who was the only Labour MP with the courage to oppose the Iraq war?
4)It's isolationist crankery to want to withdraw from an unelected government(EU)? Go isolationist crankery, if so.
5)A real triumph for democracy

1)You mean the idiotic Islamist buffoon who was the only Labour MP with the courage to oppose the Iraq war?

Well, he was paid very good money by Saddam to do so, and was a good friend of the the mass-murdering thug Saddam for a long while, so it's not so much "courage" as "being bought".

He also had the "courage" to give Hamas tons of money, thus making him and the British taxpayer supporters of Hamas' goal to genocide the Jews, the "courage" to practically never show up to votes in Parliament, etc., etc., etc.

But I can't say he lacks courage. Anybody who will show up like this in public has balls.

As the photo clearly shows, too.

The only one? Do you believe that?

 

[funk de fino]

The only one? Do you believe that?

Sadly, I think he probably does.

Galloway, the only Labour MP to oppose the war? Don't make me laugh.
There were far more notable MPs to take a stance against the invasion of Iraq.

Robin Cook, anyone?

 

[Rolfe]

First name I thought of, certainly. (Cook, I mean.)

Rolfe.
