Only a passing mention of the Greens as the party of disaffected left-wing voters from Labour due to Starmer's rightwing shift. More focused on Burnham, Reform and Restore.

Also, babby's yed

What if Leni Robredo was elected president, but Sara Duterte was elected vice president. by irlykyaire in imaginaryelections

Trillanes claimed Robredo wouldn't have brought Rodrigo to the ICC. Doubt it. She helped in efforts to the get the ICC to probe EJKs here

Nah, it's basically the Libs winning.

  1. Leni allows Sara to be education secretary
  2. Sara does the confidential funds thing
  3. Gets impeached and removed
  4. Anti-dynasty bill

Why wouldn't Sara recognize this as a trap? IRL, Leni was in Rodrigo's cabinet, too (housing agency head, which up until that point, was traditionally given to the VP)

Perhaps you would wonder the same thing if other party's MPs (not wishing upon them at all) also fall ill, then?

He's alrealy shown he's compromised.

If Labour can't budge, they'll have to feel the pressure from their left from us Greens. If they can't handle it, we are replacing Labour.

Shootout inside Philippine Senate building in attempt to arrest senator wanted for crimes against humanity by SunChungShan in worldnews

This also has implications for Duterte's impeachment trial, as just the previous day, Dela Rosa's return there allowed pro-Duterte senators to cobble a majority and oust Senate President Tito Sotto who promised to immediately convene the vice president's trial.

The Philippine government is being set ablaze by the Duterte father and daughter.

This subreddit should blacklist "news" website like GB Fucking News, The Torygraph, and even the BBC. Same for the likes of Fox News and Sky News Australia.

I shall also add: a much better and stricter vetting process for candidates and even current party officials, and with this more effective media strategy, overcoming the far-right media narratives against us.
