The 2024 UK Election EXPLAINED with WARHAMMER 40k Characters!

Ойындар

The UK Election can be confusing, especially for those outside the country, but don't worry. I'm gonna explain it all using the BEST ANALOGY for everything - Warhammer 40,000. Who will be the Warmasters and Servitors of the House of Commons? Find out here.

    I strongly object to Liz Truss as Magnus the Red. Magnus is a tragic and somewhat sympathetic character that wanted to do good. Liz Truss is a complete tool. I would suggest that Liz Truss is actually Herman von Strab, the Overlord of Amageddon during the Second War for Amageddon. Like Herman, she was massively and obviously underqualified for the job and her decisions brought ruin and destruction to the people she was supposed to oversee.

    ​@@lonewolf9578 More than 10% of their candidates are friends with the leader of the british fascist party, a literal blackshirt. Their candidates and activists frequently voice fascist views, their policies fit the profile of fascism to a T. Their leader has given speeches to the AFD in Germany, an openly fascist party founded by the yazi finance minister (his daughter was heavily involved with them too). Their events organiser and senior aide to farage speaks of replacing the police with paramilitaries. An actual published policy of theirs is to replace all police chiefs with military veterans. Their tax policies would massively disprortionately benefit the ultrawealthy as shown by the politically neutral IFS. Their entire immigration platform is predicated on the "great replacement" conspiracy theory which is rooted in white supremacism. There is very literal difference in their rhetoric to the yazi rhetoric in the late 20's, just insted of jews and gypsies they blame refugees and muslims (although many of their candidates blame jews too). There are many parties I don't like (e.g. the tories, the worker's party, the SDP), but that doesn't make them fascists. Reform are literal fascists and racists, which is why they've attracted such a large of them as candidates and activists.

In the early eighties my friends and I used to do a lot of roleplaying (it wasn't even called that then, but that's what it became in later years). We played monsters a lot, particularly Orcs, so we worked out basic orcish based on the bits of black speech in lord of the rings so we could communicate without the adventurers understanding what we said. In that framework Mag Uruk Thraka = big ork leader, Ghazghkull = metal skull (coincidentally the sun we called 'gash-kull' = fire-skull) No Maggie involved, we were doing our best to forget about the wicked witch,"

Being able to run at all is the statement, standing next to the incumbent PM on the election stage as an equal while wearing a bin costume is the point. It's to prove that anyone from anywhere can compete for the same position and that keeping that is important. Rishi did keep his seat sadly, but Binface's teensy tiny voteshare (which he doesn't even want!) did not affect that.
