Seriously you would think after three successive elections in the UK and the major parties only getting progressively worse they would be open to trying something new.

Let's give Labour everything they want and demand nothing back, I'm sure it will work out this time.

I am convinced some of these people would suck off an MP if they were promised nothing would fundamentally change.

literally the joe biden promise. Comfortable liberals in the US were made uncomfortable not by trump's policies but by the unending media circus telling them to panic. It was so easy to sell them a return to the status quo

I might begin to take "tactical voting" seriously if it was - in fact - a tactical maneuver and not just a handful of Facebook Liberals announcing "I'm going to vote for Nikki Haley to cause chaos and confusion!" ThatsNotHowAnyOfThisWorks.jpg

Say what you will about Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" in 2008, but it had a nationally syndicated radio host behind it. The modern liberals only appear to have the ability to cope and seethe.
