Some Latin Democrats from LA city council were busted for racist remarks and swiftly resigned from office :lol: I assume that is their political careers over.

@GrassmarketI suppose the next elections will be moved forward since I can't believe this mess will be tolerated for two more years?

Ain't they all dead people walking at this stage anyway? Starmer appears to be a less polarising figure than Corbyn so all Labour needs is to lay low and watch Tory implode in the next two years? :p

And that is why Tories will try and delay the elections. The way they are imploding, it is not just a question of losing government, they could be looking at a historic wipeout in next elections.

Problem is that apart from Starmer, all the rest of Labour are Marxist loons, so I wouldn’t write off the Tories completely.

Wow, if Labour manages to lose the next election, they need to seriously introspect.

One of the polling organizations is predicting that Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister, has a 94% chance of losing his seat in parliament at the next general election.

1) That is exactly what I am expecting: Conservative leaders losing even their seats. Labour party getting huge majority.

 

2) I would be surprised if Boris Johnson contests the next election.

    • Germany also fell hard in this discipline, the same thing happened to Russia - in 2022 they were much weaker than before. Romania – similar levels for years. France – strong growth until 2024, and now a decline again. Georgia – growth, but a large number of naturalized people from the Balkans play there. Generally, I see Georgia has been naturalizing a lot in various sports lately: water polo, figure skating, etc. Could that local regime there be spending much more money to further promote the country through sports?

    • To be fair,  has been active in men's water polo for about a decade. I've been using them as a barometer for whether a European nation is relevant.   I'd love to see them face non-European nations some time to see how they'd stack up.
