    So - the constitution of the UK is unwritten and therefore takes some interpretation but as things stand unless and until a coalition can be formed the country is officially being run by the Queen, Hugh Grant and J K Rowling. Parliament has relocated to the beach front in Brighton and Fat Boy Slim is providing the tunes. Personally I hope this lasts.

            Well, stables are generally pretty full of of something, and most governments are full of the same stuff, if from a different species! :laugh:

              The problem with posting this in the Lounge is it quickly turns into a political debate, which isn't allowed here.

                Well at least the next few months (weeks?) will be interesting. Or more likely disastrous. I still find it hard to believe how many people can vote for Corbyn.

                  I can't help but think of that episode of The Young Ones where Rik repeatedly shouts "Hands up who likes me!" Never a good move ...

                      I think they voted for soft Brexit, not Corbyn.

                        I didn't vote for Jeremy Corbyn. I voted for my constituency candidate. Whatever Mrs. May might think, we don't have presidential elections here.

                            Yeah - you already saw how great that worked out for us/US when people voted for party instead of simply paying attention.

                              Don't worry - much more likely to break into a lexical debated as to why the parliament is "hung" and not "hanged". :)

                                        Let's never forget that one of us here ran off to become a politician, no matter with what success. Just a few days ago I contemplated doing the same.

                                        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
