It's all nice and jolly where I'm sitting. Here's a Blower cartoon (from The Telegraph) to lighten the mood:

Is that Biggus Dickus?

Hush. The adults are talking. Here's a ball. Go and play with it.

you want OPM to play with your balls?

How continental!

His Mum says, can you make sure it's sized so he chokes when he puts it in his mouth.

Your mother does when she puts in her mouth

Well, the going rate in the UK is £1bn for 10 MPs (or is it £1.5bn?). That means to buy a majority in Westminster would cost £32bn.
UK Population is 70 million, Europe is about 5x that.
5x32 = £160bn, so getting it for £100bn is a bargain! :lol:

I was wrong, he's clearly a genius...

Given how utterly crap he is at the job, I wonder how much he had to bribe the idiots who voted for him. Guess we'll probably never know, but it would explain their sudden need for £100bn...

I know things are getting tough in the UK, but no need to give up on reality completely.

Unelected?

Let's start off with the UK...
Theresa May wasn't elected to be prime minister, she was leader of the Conservative party.
She wasn't elected by the public to be prime minister. She wasn't elected by all of the UK parliament to be prime minister. There was no vote in the House of Commons that made her Prime Minister. The UK public only get to vote for their individual local MP.

Junker is the leader of the EPP (a political party). He was elected my the European Parliament. There was a vote in the European Parliament in 2014 that made him president for 5 years. The European Parliament consists of MEPs who are voted for by the European public.

You, as an individual did not vote for Theresa May to be Prime Minister (even in her constituency that is not what is on the ballot) in the same way that you as an individual did not vote for J-C Junker to be President of the EU.

So if he is "unelected" as you've chosen to believe, then so is Theresa May.

Have you read Scooterscot's posts?

I don't side with him He just occasionally blunders into a position where he sides with me.

Whereas siding with originalPM really shows you're onto a dead cert.

They seem to be far too easy to wind up. It's as if they have backed the wrong pony or something.
