I mean Obama." Thankfully, when this one guy did that, the audience booed extremely loudly. Turns out some Americans aren't stupid enough to fall for that shit, so there is hope. |

But he only got 17% of the vote, the seat was one by Anas Sarwar of the Labour party. His dad was the old MP here and he was the first ever muslim MP in the UK. |

It's weird how the Muslim area overlaps with the Orange area. Right here is like the intersection of both. |

There's a fair chance of them winning the election, and that makes me a happy little Dutchie. If you're not a Christian democrat, pseudo socialist, fundamentalist Calvinist nutjob, uneducated xenophobic fool or dumbass treehugger, that's pretty much the only way to go.

Fortunately British politics is on the whole rather secular.
Unfortunately it is also entirely useless if you aren't cool with the status quo. |
