the lib dems are basically the starks at the red wedding
pew pew pew

wait so which houses represent the other parties?
Tories = Lannisters. Strongest and most based party. Losing some of their momentum though.

Labour = Targaryens. Once a great dynasty but lost it spectacularly. Lead by an inbred.

SNP = Greyjoys. Always moaning about what's rightfully theirs without actually fucking doing anything.

Greens = Martells. Delusional and le progressive :^) niggers.

UKIP = Baratheons. Both lead by a man who will save the country.

Regardless of the outcome of this election, I at least hope it gives some momentum towards getting FPTP scrapped. Kind of sucks that my vote got wasted and that I actually considered voting for a party I despised just to keep out a party that I despised even more. Politics in Britain has pretty much become Game Of Thrones at this point.

I mean, a tory victory is probably a good thing for the economy to not get crashed into the ground (austerity is a bitch but it looks like it's actually worked) but I just hope they keep their filthy paws off the NHS >_>
Attempting to even think about scrapping the NHS would be both literal and political suicide for the Tories. Hell, UKIP of all parties, have pledged to increase NHS spending by an extra £3 billion. All parties pretty much know that maintaining the NHS is absolutely paramount for winning votes.

Still, I don't think it's wrong to cut down on bureaucracy and tweak PFI contracts, because right now the NHS is far from perfect. Unfortunately the left tend to misconstrue that as "FOK PRIVATIZATION" which immediately shuts down any kind of conversation about the possibility of improving the NHS.

I'd hopefully like to see more competition within the NHS and adopt a dual funded system (like pretty much the majority of Europe has at this point) in my lifetime.

If anyone is finding it difficult to keep up with the news (especially flicking back between NI/Welsh/Scottish/English channels) here's a nifty little website to keep you succinctly updated.

So how will the results work? Will we get individual polling results from each constituency over the night, or will it be announced first thing in the morning?

>tfw SNP has completely monopolized your constituency
Nationalist scumbags.

I have to say, I find the leader of the Scottish Conservatives quite likeable. Shame the Tories are fucking dead in Scotland.
I voted Tories anyway, despite probably being the only one in Edinburgh South to do so. Integrity and all that.

Fuck the lefties.

Basically I only have a choice between Sturgeon and Shiliband if I want to vote tactically. Anything else is a wasted vote.

Scotland has failed Farage. Scotland has failed freedom.

There is only one option.

In all seriousness I may have to vote Lablol simply because of FPTP. I would've voted UKIP otherwise.

"Games journalism" is bullshit.  To be honest, I couldn't give a shit about the personal lives of game developers/"journalists".  All this talk of "muh journalistic integrity" and "muh ethics" has become just as mind-numbing as the SJWs complaining about "muh tropes" and "muh sexism".

In the grand scheme of things, video games aren't that important, and people who say otherwise are lying to themselves.
That's not really the crux of our argument though. We recognise that in the wider scope of social issues, ethical journalistic practices isn't going to be at the top of the list. Still, it was an underlying problem that had been niggling gamers for a while, and GG was the tipping point.
So why did GG become a thing after Zoe Quinn and not before when we all knew IGN, Activsion and EA etc were doing it for the best part of a decade?
Idk, I guess the Sarkeesian scandal and the dissatisfaction with censorious third wave tumblr feminism had a part to play. Whatever happened, happened, and now we're here. The controversy with Quinn was the precipice for a variety of reasons.
Yet none of those were as bad as what the triple A industry gets away with. Funny.
GG takes issue with them as well. You would know this if you took the time to research GG and not what the leftist groupthink spoonfeed you.
Again you're assuming that I'm from the SJW anti-gamergate.
I tend to avoid insufferable identity politics, but whatever you classify yourself as, you're simply incorrect either way.
Again you're still assuming.
What exactly am I assuming?

You've made it perfectly clear that you haven't the foggiest idea about the GG movement or its motives as well as displaying a clear partisan bias against it. Not once in this thread have I called you a SJW or an anti GG member.
I never said I did follow GG events. The question of this thread was if Zoe's ex was right to dox her.
I know enough about GG and anti GG not to take that issue seriously.
Well again, there are several discrepancies within her story, most notably that the numbers implicated in the tumblr dox post were found to have no connection to Quinn, and the fact that tumblr's security features don't actually allow multiple people to sign in to one account at once. The number that was listed as "zoe’s Cellphone" connected to a text to land line phone located in Hawaii.

It takes Olympian levels of mental gymnastics to try and convince yourself that Quinn isn't a duplicitous character.
I'm talking about the post her ex made about all the alleged cheating she did.
You specified the doxxing controversy so I illustrated the inconsistencies in the doxxing accusation?

But anyway, Gjoni's post wasn't harassment. What was originally "hey, she can't do this, this is ethically dubious journalism" got misconstrued as "ZOMG SLOOTSHAMING SHE JUST A STRONK INDIEPENDONT WOMYN WHO CAN FUCK WHOEVER SHE WANTS." The Zoe Post is perfectly credible and amiably highlights the conflicts of interest she was involved in.
I was semi aware of things after zoepost but for right now I only care about the beginning ( for the moment). His post might not be considered harassment but the videos etc that came out soon after kinda were.
Well she did file a restraining order against him effectively restricting him from commenting on anything to do with Quinn and violating his First Amendment Rights.

I've never heard of these videos, but I'm sure they're probably not overly pernicious (certainly not to any normal person's standard anyway). Got a link to them?
IA's videos were taken down and MundaneMatts is still there.
Okay, mind clarifying the content of these videos with other evidence to back it up?
