Russel Brand.png
(630.3KB, 1024x513)
Here is one of Russel Brands ex Girlfriends. 
 Her name is Jemima Goldsmith, of the Goldsmith finance Dynasty. The Goldsmiths were at one point the main major rival to the Rothschild family. She has two younger brothers, one a financier, the other Zach Goldsmith, a former Tory MP, London Mayoral Candidate and now Life Peer. 
 Jemima her self used to be married to Imran Kahn, the recently couped Pakistani prime minister. 
 She was also a friend of Princes Diana. 
 On top of that, at one point she was going to post bail for Julian Assange, but didn't, because she didn't like how he dealt with the questions of sexual abuse. 
 She is a filmmaker, and at one point spoke at a stop the war coalition rally. She was opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Interesting stuff.

I'm surprised that it's not just two federal parties left with seats, like in US federal elections.

This might sound a bit stupid, but It essentially is in my opinion. If we ignore places outside of England, there’s only really 4 options. The tories if you’re right wing, and labour if you’re left wing. If you don’t like those parties, you go to the 2 smaller, but well established parties, so Reform if you think the tories aren’t right wing enough and the Greens if you think labour aren’t left wing enough. So it’s only SLIGHTLY better than the American system of there only being 2 parties. It’s better in the sense that there’s 4 instead of 2. 
There are obviously even smaller parties but you’d be wasting your vote.

It's not stupid at all, one could even consider Libertarian and Greens as the equivalent parties in the US. The two 'alternatives' have a spoiler effect, so it just can't be compared to other systems where one can vote for any candidate without practically wasting it.

I know polls aren’t really a good representation of where things are going but if the general election ends up being like the polls it’s going to be insane. The 2 party system would essentially be completely demolished. Basically, there’s a possibility that the tories could end up becoming a third party, and the Liberal Democrats (who are the “official” opposition, but honestly I have no idea who votes for them) would end up becoming the opposition party. 
It would be like the libertarians replacing the republicans as the opposition to the democrats, insane stuff.

The tories are ridiculous, and that kind of shift is possible looking back at history. I wonder what effect it would have if the whole 2-party system moved to social liberalism, LibDems on the 'right' and Labour on the 'left'.

Well, the elections been called now and it’s definitely 100% over for the tories
