No one did. Glad I was just channel flicking to find something to fall asleep to. Lots of madness.

Lol, Lina uses the political madness as a lullaby. No wonder she's so good as a WHM under pressure!

What does his resignation mean? I'm out of the loop really, for across the pond and all.

David Cameron will remain Prime Minister until the Conservative Party Conference in October, at which stage 'a new leader' will be elected by the party.

Logically though, a general election should be called. People will not tolerate UKIP or Johnson taking power without an election.

What we need to do is say, *** the results of the referendum because half the people who voted to leave are going to be dead within the next 5 years.
Age is irrelevant. Democracy is still democracy, right?

It's only Democracy if their side wins, otherwise it should be changed "for their own good".

Not strange to me, but there were quite a few people heavy on the bern-train who were still wide-eyed for him to run independent.

The reactions should be interesting.

Oh come on. It was two at most.

Sadly he had to lose my home state to really be screwed, and he did.

He's like Brett Michaels. You think he's gone but he's actually still touring, getting more money and women than you ever will.

...okay, look. Bernie preaches some great ideals, but he's still a politician. You know he's got like six lovers in every state to relieve stress.

Well, like I said. He's got some principles. But that just means he knows to keep it to a minimum and maybe feel a little guilty about it.

Besides... I'm still waiting for you to say something about trump that makes him worthy of anyone's vote beyond hey the guys I don't like like him!

I've been trying to have an actual conversation with you and you've proven time and time again that all you actually have to go on is the rhetoric provided to you by other people and shitty media outlets... Then try to accuse others of being low information voters... You don't even know anything about your own candidate...

Funny, coming from the crowd that can barely give any reason whatsoever to vote for Clinton without going on some diatribe against Trump.
So your response is... Hey you can't say nothing so it's ok I'm stupid too! Cuz you don't seem to have much respect for liberals... Not to mention that I said I wasn't voting for Hillary and quite honestly can't come up with a good reason why she'd be good hence the fact I won't be voting for her I think she's terrible and I don't even think she should be representing the Dems.

On the other hand you guys are actually supporting trump and you got ***... Literally nothing... I came out actually asking for some real reasons and I've been met with vitriol and just nonsense...

If your only response now is that liberals can't come up with anything better than how could you consider trump any better than her? Or worthy of your vote? This shot is ridiculous

You'll have to find where I said that I actually support Donald Trump. I begrudgingly tolerate him and present his candidacy in a more realistic way than the opposition with all its hyperbole, but that's about the extent of my "support". If you can't think of one reason why Trump would be a better candidate than Hillary, though, you're a biased hack. They're both abysmal and their cons far outweigh their pros, but it's clearly just a matter of subjective opinion since neither really outshines the other. Honestly the threat of a liberal Supreme Court is enough to force me to vote Trump or, better yet, Johnson if he actually shows some promise.
Are you not voting for him? If you aren't I apologize and you can just let this go back to being a conversation between Nausi and myself... Why should I be expected to come up with reasons why trump would be better? It makes me a biased hack if I can't? Lol hell his own supporters don't even know why they support him... More rhetoric from you on that front... At least it's honest of you to say one large motivating factor is the Supreme Court...

Congrats on getting rid of Cameron but couldn't you have picked a less drastic way to do it?

Multiculturalism is indeed an epic failure.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with multiculturalism.

Denial of the obvious. Does being a member state of the EU permit one to travel and live anywhere in he EU? Would not being a member of the EU change that. Do you all think the us is the only place where native citizens resent the flood of poor unskilled workers from 2nd and 3rd world countries?
