Gambia - Dictator holds elections. The people tell him to p*ss off and elect a former Argos security guard instead.

Turns out the Gambian dictator is a remainer after all

All failed school prefects, that sort of thing can really cause damage in a young persons life

I lost my prefects badge before I even got it, due to the Biology trip away drinking "incident"

Actually...........................maybe I would make ideal mod material

Hmmmmmmmm always be wary of those who seek to rule you, rarely do they have your best interests at heart.

looks like that genius has just read the Robert Mugabe book of winning elections.

Probably the same one that the EU bought for dealing with recalcitrant voters: "we don't like the result so vote again until we get the result we wanted".

Hope the former Argos security guard and mates have means to get out of Gambia right now, to avoid them disappearing.

To be fair its not real power being a mod, it's more like being a traffic warden. Obviously, takes a different type of person to be a traffic warden but still not real power.

To want power, you have to be an unpleasant thick moron.

It holds true for CUK too....

That would explain why MF regularly begs to come back onto the mod team.

I thought this was going to be about the rise of the far right nationalists parties all over Europe and the States but the political elite haven't twigged what the people want.

Nah that means I wouldn't be able to DA style rant.

So..... going to the people and losing is stupid? I thought it was called democracy.

Yes if the reason is for your vanity.

[northernladuk]

People vote. Sometimes those in power change? You list 5 examples but there will be many more that don't. Isn't that just how it is always worked?
