here's the best map/tracker I could find
polls close in a few hours
lol?
that is such a french thing to do
These were the cases that led to this
first one is more in line with polygamy, the other two are just weird edge cases
The conservative guy is being asked how it feels to be assfucked as a party
him having a 🇺🇦 pin is so poetic

thats crazy
massive swing
like I said yesterday, the places with a supermajority of labour or conservatives, decided to cancel elections
because they thought they'd lose
so it's not quite as dramatic a sweep as it looks
ok Dialga, I read a little more into this
this is the most British thing I've ever read
so, the conservatives felt bad that they were gaming the system and canceling elections, and put forward a "regret motion" to note that everyone felt really bad about circumventing democracy, but it's SUPER important not to let people vote
but then they failed to pass that regret motion
they tried to cancel elections in 15 of the 21 regions of England, but were defeated in some of them
so 14/21 regions voted, 7/21 canceled
approx 50% of the country by population
these are (mostly) local/regional elections, they just have to happen sometime before the next general I'm pretty sure
oh you mean call a general election
imo, you have to give Labour more time, because their government hasn't fallen apart
Replying to legorhin #jazardly I would hope a monarch would force elections, but does Chuck even have that authority?
its a meaningless power if so
the second the monarchy tries to do anything like that is the day it is codified the monarchy has no power
they have that power elsewhere in Europe and it's fine
it's just the ability to call elections, if they abuse it they'll lose it I agree though
This was sort of almost tested in Canada but in reverse
PM King promised he would not call a snap election over an issue if he was granted something, then immediately called a snap election and there was almost a moment where it was overruled by the govonour general
iirc, its been a bit since I have done Canadian history
nothing came of it, but we almost could have an answer for that
Its about the love of the game, not the money
I don't think anyone watches ethan live
I will see how it went later
I clicked it, they are screaming at eachother
>click back an hour and they are still screaming at eachother
I think it is going quite well for us, the viewers
I look forward to us all watching it, seeing Hasan made a fool of himself, and mint posting that he nailed it and Ethan is on coke or something
"Do you think that this is an apt comparison"
"yes"
