2016: the year the blonde mopheads took over the world.

[–]Die-EngelsmanCannock 53ポイント54ポイント  (9子コメント)

Geert Wilders, Boris Johnson and Donald Trump - the day the Earth stood blond.

[–]MrsCosmopilite 11ポイント12ポイント  (5子コメント)

To be fair, Geert's about as naturally blonde as Samuel L Jackson.

The man has the complexion of a bruised orange, I don't think there's anything natural left about him.

      Boris or Gove are the most popular among the grass root Conservatives.

      Gove is a non-starter. The party knew he was a liability with the electorate which is why he disappeared into the background for the last election.

      [–]apple_kicks 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Gove is free market and wants to privatise everything to shut down unions. Labour better shape up it'll be huge fight if he gets more power

      [–]BobsquddleFUWarrington 11ポイント12ポイント  (1子コメント)

      This is worse than the ref result. Cameron and Osborne are going to look positively centrist in comparison.

      [–]dvb70 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

      And it can't be Gove. Honestly there is no way he could win. So it's going to be fucking Boris. Oh fuck is all I can really think at the moment.

        On reddit, the general consensus seems to be:

        What an absolute blithering idiot. Why is this guy even remotely near anything to do with politics?

        In the real world, the general consensus seems to be:

        Wow. What a fun and quirky oddjob. We should just make him prime minister because he looks so random XDD

              With the amount of Remain-supporting MPs, I find that Boris would be a strange choice at this stage. Appointing someone so pro-Leave has the potential to trigger a vote of no confidence, one which would likely see many Conservatives cross the floor.

              Were that the case, a general election so soon could be a disaster for all parties (with the exception of UKIP).

                  He risked everything to pander to UKIP voters so he could beat Ed Miliband at the election.

                  Resigns one year later. Hope that one year of power was worth it Dave.

                  One of the hugest political blunders ever.

                  [–]Xzal 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

                  Exactly. He wanted to grab the Ukip and labour voters and gambled on the Eu referendum being a remain victory.

                  Now its gone tits up for him, hes running like the coward he is. The hall mark of a good leader is not one who runs from a problem pretending he is "atoning" for fucking up.

                  A good leader is one who admits he fucked up and stays and fixes it.

                      It is a giant tragedy this coincided with Corbyn, who has been truly useless. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he has been utterly woeful

                      Agreed. He's a wet blanket who doesn't seem to be pleasing anyone. His sensible ideas are bogged down with bad ones and he isn't charismatic - if he stays in charge of the Labour party until 2020 then we're going to have another Tory government until 2025.

                          Question from an outsider here. How much blame is Labour going to catch from this? I understand the Lions share rests with Cameron, but from what I have read, Labour/Corbyn did not exactly do a good job motivating its constituents either. Is there any truth to that?

                                        This is why political views are so flawed in general. People gripe about leadership, but never consider the alternatives until they actually get there.

                                        No one is just ever willing to be content and happy where they are at.

                                          People voted out because they didn't want to be ruled by people who weren't elected. End up with a PM no one voted for.

                                          They would be very, very brave. Corbyn could well pull the plug on the EU exit if he's elected, and that's a LOT of potential voters for him if true.

                                          Are you seriously suggesting that he would go against a democratic vote?

                                          That would be suicide.

                                          If he gets the democratic vote by running on a platform opposing it, then I would say he has a mandate to ignore the referendum.

                                                    Exactly. It's bad enough that Cameron became PM with just 37% of the vote. A new PM without even running in an election is so frustrating.

A lot of jobs could be lost now in my region (max 12.000 jobs) and a lot of exports (and therefore money) will be gone. The UK are one of our biggest export nation. The Leave Campaign not only fucked their own economy, the possible future of the EU and the UK but the economy of a lot of other countries. This will hurt a lot of families. I hope everything will be better than the predictions but I really fear for it.

The prick called this thing because he wanted to secure his legacy and appease his party, then when it backfires against him he runs away. I know he doesn't have a choice because Boris is waiting to rugby tackle him, but his vanity is going to cause the breakup of the UK so fuck him anyway.

                                                              Corbyn should resign as well.

                                                              Labour were an absolute joke in this refrendum and it was their voters who gifted this to the Brexiters.

                                                              Tim Farron:

                                                              It came as Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat leader, accused Mr Corbyn of "utter spinelessness" for not having done more to encourage Labour voters to reject a Brexit vote.

If Labour didn't have a soggy biscuit for a leader I honestly believe Remain could have swayed many of those Northern leave votes. Instead it was left to Cameron to convince people who despise him.

                                                                  I agree that Cameron should step down. I just think that Labour also need to put their hands up and admit they didn't do their part in convincing their voters to back remain.

                                                                  [–]ip_127_0_0_1 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

                                                                  Remember when Labour saved Cameron in the Scottish referendum and were then wiped out in the general election as their former voters took revenge?

                                                                  And it's particularly hilarious coming from Farron whose party has been reduced to an irrelevant rump for also saving the Tories by propping up their government for five years.

                                                                  Corbyn has been pretty smart for giving pro forma support to the remain campaign without permanently causing disaffection amongst working class and eurosceptic voters.

                                                                    "this isn't about party politics" then in the next sentence blamed Corbyn and Labour for the entire thing.

                                                                    He is right about one thing, it wasn't party politics. Both Labour and Conservatives were split, left and right was split, there was no real defining political characteristic of a leave or remain supporter.

                                                                    Blaming the leader of the party, whether it Corbyn or Cameron, is entirely unfair in my opinion. There was no way to rally their troops to vote because it wasn't an issue that either of their ideologies had control over.

                                                                    [–]LordAlpacaAustralia 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                    [–]zzonked7Greater Manchester 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

Considering that is how most of the stay people felt he did the right thing. Why should he go full throttle into something he's ambivalent about?

                                                                    [–]hollowcrown51Cambridge 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

                                                                      A straight swap after a leadership battle in the Tory party is an option. That didn't work well for Gordon Brown, many are calling for a snap election.

You don't vote not for David Cameron as PM in particular. The Conservatives will hold a vote, and select someone themselves.

Turns out telling people that want to leave are idiots / racists / stupid does not win them over. Hopefully USA learns from this and addresses the concerns of the trump supporters rather than righting them off and insulting them or it's not inconceivable the'll have an absolute nut job for a president.

Seriously look at my post history for the last few days (except for today, I've been pretty childish today because that's my only recourse), there's more than one post that is several paragraphs long explaining how the EU is as (if not more) democratic and how the economy will tank if we leave.

                                                                              But at this point it's all academic so all I can do now is call them idiots.

                                                                              Meh. It is all moot now, but I do feel sympathy for the remainers even though I know if the roles were reversed I'd get nothing but crowing of how wonderful it is they voted for the status quo.

                                                                              At the very least Scotland is going to leave. I think we can all agree that's a given. So the UK will already be dimished regardless.
