People hate Indians too much rn
I genuinely think Indians have tanked their international reputation
Trump wins if he wins one of the following 3 states: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
So he should probably just pick one and pick a popular centrist from one of those states
Knowing Trump, he's going to pick a woman though
More interesting is the UK election tomorrow
Nigel Farage is back in politics (again)
he's taking the Reform Party, and is trying to be the death blow to the conservatives
Labour was always going to win, because the Conservative supermajority has done nothing for 4+ years
complete waste of a mandate
Reform + LD could potentially win more seats than the Tories
and force them out of the opposition
which would be an historic embarrassment (that they probably deserve)
Labour was also forced to move right, and become more anti-immigrant because people hate immigrants now

He's in
they're still coooooonting,
Reform will win 15 according to the exit poll, and somewhere 15-20% of the vote
libdems+reform+independents+welsh might be the minority coalition
probably, idk if they do recounts or military ballots or what
but he's ahead
it's going to be bigger, likely most ever
~420 total
so +250ish
conservatives had 365 last election
and will be at <100 this time

Nigel farage is trump
not in policy or anything, but he was backed by Sargon of Akkad during 2016, so it counts
the indian guy currently in charge is jeb bush
Labour is left, conservative is right
they have fun parties, and the whole strategic voting thing is kind of accepted as gay so they don't do that (mostly)
their system only works because people don't vote for the "lesser of two evils" like in America
SNP probably (scotish party)
there are like 10 other semi-regional parties
Wales, N.Ireland, and SNP are the big 3 regional ones
SNP also lost all their seats this time
I want an independent Gibraltar and Falkland Islands first
