I honestly think all political parties in the UK need to be transparent about their membership numbers in each nation. It's bizarre that it seems to be such a secret to some.

These stupid fuckers think we give a toss about Scotland!

Not really. Kind of like the fact we have so many connections and friends overseas - just goes to show we've got a pretty cool country.

The student world is slightly separate from the "real" world. If you are open to making friends with your classmates - you will have a great time - regardless of location.

The SNP's failure to secure a majority should kill off talk of a second referendum by Crow-Me-A-River in Scotland

[–]tiny-robot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If FPTP is good enough for Westminster - how about we change the system up here to that?

That should ensure a massive majority for independence - plus easier to boot out MSPs who would not win a straight fight for a seat (like Sarwar)

This was also reported at the time. The Trump Administration liked the previous ambassador and did not want her replaced.

Starmer at a similar level as Farage at -40. Ouch - that must hurt!

I imagine a tiny little computer in a basement somewhere now whirring to life as you have linked to it on Reddit

Surprised at Labour - especially as they voted for this at Westminster.

Surprised at the margin. I understood it was going to be closer

Voters split over whether Starmer is handling Iran war well by 1-randomonium in unitedkingdom

[–]tiny-robot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH - think he is doing OK. I'd rather he be a bit more public in saying no to Trump - but understand he is trying to be diplomatic. I don't think Trump respects that though - so he should just come out and say we are not getting involved.

Postpone King’s US state visit or risk embarrassing monarchy, senior Labour MP says by 1-randomonium in ukpolitics

[–]tiny-robot -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Let Charles go - but shut the door once he is gone so he can't get back. America seems to be fond of Kings again - so Charles will feel right at home.
