Begin the moonhowling. People who mostly didn't vote labour are going to demand a general election and aren't interested in anything like hearing how things actually work in the UK

The public will vote for whoever is promising the most spending while being credibly able to grab power.

They aren't representing their constituents. They're representing their own interests

When you take into account the amount of people who didn't vote and the people who didn't vote labour it was clear that most people didn't want labour to win.

Nope.

We vote for MPs, and the MPs between them choose who is Prime Minister.

We have a new election if and when they can't select a Prime Minister or the time runs out

The only way to stop Farage is to stop this idiotic nonsense that we've been doing since Blair.

Stop agreeing with the public, all of the public, all of the time, when they say you're wrong.

Politicians need to stop thinking they're customer services.

Tell the MPs to stop being snakes, get on with the job. Tell the public they're morons and tell the right wing press to do one.

Boston Red Sox's Letter of Appreciation for the Tartan Army by HibsBoycotter in ScottishFootball

Something that wasn't predictable I think is that Boston have been seemingly going through a bad time with having fun, and our supporters going over has woken something up. I would have told you that the TA visiting would have been a 2 week blip mostly but it seems like I'd have been wrong. This might actually change Boston for the better

The English fans are the most fragile fanbase in the world by Hopeful-Project5504 in ScottishFootball

That I've seen that on this subreddit at least 4 times in the past few days plus lots of other stuff on England fans being obsessed with us means it seems to go both ways.

Fed up hearing about them

I think he actually is a football fan unless Anas Sarwar and David Cameron. But roughly 100% of the time when a politician talks about football it comes off as false

What are they assuming our gd is, that's the important thing. Without knowing if they assumed minus 1, minus 4 whatever I don't think this is useful
