"this UK election tho"


  

          

I thought the Comey testimony would be the political highlight of the week, but now I'm not so sure it's even the craziest event of the day. To recap: on Apr 18 British PM Teresa May decides to call an early election, with the idea that her Conservative party would get a decisive majority in the parliament and thus reinforce her position ahead of Brexit talks. She then proceeds to make bungle after bungle and somehow lets Labour (think UK Dems, loserish leaders and all), who was 20/25% behind at the time, creep back in.

Now it seems after today's vote (final results are still not int), that the Tories are NOT gonna get the majority, and have no real prospects of coalition. This is turning into Monty Python-levels of incompetent self-own. And this is with a Labour leader who, while seeming to be a decent human being and pretty attuned to problems of vast parts of the population, is faaaar from being unanimous in his own party's ranks.

The best news is probably UKIP getting the shaft, though that was predicted.
