This is not the fiasco we voted for, we voted for a completely different fiasco!

@cuch: Yes, the LibDems are really nice. So was my great aunt Nancy. A spinster, not much experience of life, wouldn’t have lasted ten minutes running a country.
Sounds like Liz Truss. 
In contrast to Jeremy Thorpe. They need a leader like him.

Paul,
What about PR instead of first past post. To give those nice Lib Dems a fighting chance.

Does the UK have voter suppression or gerrymandering like the US? I haven't witnessed it since (London)Derry in the 60s.

Not to be confused with the original meaning of fiasco.

S Fry is not what I'd call an "original thinker." Fantastic memory, moderately witty, appalling actor, and downhill from there.

But you know what the funniest thing about Europe is?

It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same sh*t over there that we got here, but it's just...it's just, there it's a little different.

It was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.
