Hail Trump, hail victory!
here’s an interesting question………you got 70 million people in the U.K or there abouts. Why do you only have 2 main political party’s?
There are a lot more than two parties.
SNP is very influential in Scotish politics.
Sinn Fein and DUP dominate politics in Northern Ireland.
And it wasn’t that long ago that the Lib Dems were in power under a coalition with the Tories.
It’s going to come to the point when men won’t approach women at all for fear of being branded a sexual pest/predator.
That is already a thing, it’s called MGTOW.
Now some are saying that the Commons is to be relocated to an Adult Peep Shop in Soho while repairs are being made.
Of course it is, according to progressives.
They have set themselves up as the ‘anti-sexist’ group in society.
The ‘sexists’ must be removed from power, who better to replace them than people who are ‘anti-sexist’.
He apparently made lewd comments to Andrea Ledsom
That doesn’t seem very belivable to me.

It’s a tool of political power.
Fallon upset someone that he shouldn’t have, this is the easist way to punish him. Not many people will question it, or defend him against such accusations, it is social suicide to do so.

If you did it on the internet, then it wasn’t an IQ test.
IQ testing is an academic dicipline that is performed in a controlled environment with a suite of different tests over the course of several months, preferably years.
When done properly in this way then they are very accurate measures of intelligence.
Neo-liberalism is much more extreme than this, it seeks to undermine state powers in many or all areas, not just the ecconomy. This is why TTIP had clauses about corperations being able to sue governments, and to have their own private enforcement with powers to seize private property, similar to what police officers have.
It’s probably one of the reasons that the EU is against neo-liberalism, it wants those powers itself.
commitment to market forces
Lol wut?
The EU is highly protectionist.
competition rules that favor private enterprise and corporatism (TTIP etc)
The EU voted against TTIP.
The Growth and Stability Pact that forbids governments from borrowing over a certain % to boost economic growth, leading to prolonged “austerity” across Europe and longer recessions, decimated public services and which ultimately has feathered the nest of corporatism as it moves in to fill the void.
Make you best argument as to why borrowing money is good.
“Well, I think there are probably three different elements to it. As a general principal, it’s based on the idea of reducing the role of the state in the economy.”

It’s not a very well defined concept, but two constants of it are international free trade and corporatism.
It also has a trend towards being post-nation state, where individual states have little power and are overruled by corperate courts. Which is why TTIP ws so bad.
You could try and make that argument about the EU, but they are not anti-state, they just want to be a nation state. See Guy Verhofstadt’s comments about the EU becomming ‘an Empire, but of good not of evil’ for an example of their delusions of nationhood. Also Marcon playing the EU’s anthem during his victory announcement, ect.
I have no idea what neo-liberalism is. It’s a very vague idea which sounds terribly clever – it was first used by semi-Stalinist French intellectuals to make them sound like Mandarins.

The EU has a lot of corperate lobbying, but it is unwilling to negotiate trade seemingly at all. The only reason that CETA happened was because we pushed for it internally, and Canada has a small ecconomy that would affect internal trade within Europe very much.
The EU is protectionist to the outside world,
Which is precicely why it can’t be neo-liberal.
