that's a closed-minded people thing, not inherent to the left nor right
That's the thing in general, too many people aren't able to grasp how someone could be liberal on some things but staunchly conservative in others.....there's far too much typecasting as one or the other, when in reality most people are 'grey' on many issues.
As I have said SNP would be in exactly the same shoes as UK now had they left in 2014, the problem with the SNP is they don't understand the concept of UK elections, the referendum was a UK wide vote the results of individual areas should never have been published should just have been the final result. She claims Westminster has no right to dictate to Scotland because the SNP won 48 seats it was a UK election and the electorate of the whole UK chose a Conservative government under the first past the post system, the Scottish parliament elections are in 2021.
These are the very people who were trying to lobby to get 16 year olds to vote pot calling kettle black ffs..
It will change even more when Nicola has not option but to resign if her x boss is found guilty remember everything is not as it seems...
Emily Thornberry threatening Flint with legal action over her comments.
I'm getting worried about Chopley, no sign of him for days; if Trump loses the 2020 I might have to lie low too having predicted he'll win it, so I can understand how he might be feeling, what with brexit as well, it got a little bit heated here in the last few months.
But I would much rather he was back in the CM fold, there's a difference between banter and stick and it probably never pays to gloat too much about winning elections in this land as mp's of all colours have shafted the country in different ways.
Look what theresa may was up to with brexit and she's made sure she's still in the HOC representing conservatives.
Peter Hitchen's in the mail today was pretty much of the opinion that boris is a london bohemian and his govt will be similar to new labour, so lots of stuff about climate change, political correctness, brainwashing children in school to be 'liberal and progressive' rather than traditional, it won't be very conservative, no bobbys on the beat etc... we'll have to wait and see though

That may well be, but the satirical posters in here aren't wallflowers, and generally gave as good as they got.
Yeah I think Chop has probably had a gutfull of toxic political debate, they were just saying today though how wrong the media had got it [the bbc in particular] with their prediction of it being a close election, a lot of people from the liberal and labour side had their hopes falsely raised, not sure what odds the bookies were offering on such a majority for boris.
I just know though if Trump loses the 2020, even though I have no horse in the race so to speak, I will have to lie low and still in the NK thread for quite some time while Harry celebrates in jubilant mood

LOL mate. I'm getting a bit old for arguments and stuff. I can only handle a maximum of one per week.
NK thread sounds too much like a full-time debating job, one where the pay really sucks.
And how could you all gang up on mack? Have you lot no shame at all?
Hopefully they'll be some more trump volunteers appear next year although I think if you're american and a republican voter it can be harder to take the criticism heaped on your president, whereas I have a bit more distance so it doesn't become as personal and involved

It may surprise you, but it doesn't surprise me. The election is over. The result is clear. A resounding win for the Conservatives, who (if they play their cards right) may well be in government for the next decade and possibly even into the 2030s.
Why would you expect the Labour supporters who commented in this thread to "stick around" and read a load of posts from folk, some of whom are 1. wanting nothing more than to have a good gloat about the result and 2. seem to want to continue bringing Chopley's name up, nearly one month after his last post in this thread?
Me personally, I think it's time to move on and to focus on what happens next. - the eventual outcome of Brexit (whatever that actually is) and what happens on the domestic agenda front for the next 5 years.
Those things are, in my humble opinion, something that should be discussed in a new thread, not this one.
Oh and I should mention that I am speaking as someone who is actually HAPPY with the election result.
And erm....correct me if I am wrong, but last time I checked, any CM member can leave a thread that he/she has participated in at any time of their choosing. I was merely assuming (perhaps incorrectly) Choppers chose to exercise that right, because he had had enough of this thread a long time ago.
That was the point I was trying to make. Obviously I made the mistake of stepping out of line by having the audacity to state that political threads on this forum generally turn toxic. That'll teach me to be Captain Obvious
I disagree to agree to agree to disagree just to be contentious
I was just adding 2 and 2 together and getting 5. An absence from the forum for a few days/weeks isn't necessarily a search and rescue situation [ I have got 25% scottish ancestry, so I'm not being anti scottish]
Are you stalking Diane Abbott by any chance?
50%!!! Well, the rest are just a fractious, withered bunch of remainers. What does one expect? Dinosaurs to tend to find extinction. Plus Boris seems to have pulled a few branches off Corbyn's magic money tree, blank cheque for the NHS amongst other things.
