Sounds to me like Italy - just the food* and the weather** is worse ...
"Right royal" - an expression with which you are unfamiliar?
"schadenfreude" at the UK's current travails would be unsurprising amongst Continental Europhiles.
A few years ago, Belgium did not have a government for over a year...but the Belgians were not stepping out of line in the EU at the time.
*Depends if the old stereotype is still true. I have had great food from a wide range of cuisines in the UK; awful food in Italy. I love fish and chips, yorkshire pudding, cornish pasties and devonshire teas. An individual and cultural taste?
** What is bad weather? Mediterranean sun on a pale skin is always good?

Yep...May back in for now. However is she sacrificing NI peace to remain in office? Her NI secretary may be given little respect by Sinn Fein and the republican side as the Conservative government will be relying on the Democratic Unionist Party in order to govern.

Hey EZ, love this bit from the media - Australia’s election guru Lynton Crosby has been blamed for the Conservative Party’s disastrous performance.
No doubt Labour NZ take heart from the UK election?

They need to transform Little into more of a Jeremy Corbyn/Bernie Sanders type of character

Yes, good to see that Crosby-Textor don't always provide the best advice. That youth vote is generally missing in NZ, looks very leftie in the UK, so we need to get them voting here. I would think the youth of today know about global warming, and can see that in a future of limited resources, a winner-takes-all approach won't be good for the majority. The younger vote rate was 74% in the UK, much higher than generally seen here.

Winner I saw that too, but the article I read said Sir Lynton Crosby, Felt like I knew him from EZ's frequent mentioning of him :-)

EZ - ues big increase in turnout if under 35s .......but maybe as both Labour and National seem neither left or right (economically or culturally) the under 25s won't turn out in any greater numbers than before.
Here's an interesting article on how Labour UK (successfully) used social media to engage with the younger ones (which no doubt helped their cause)
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...me-of-the-best
But I can't see Little fitting the mould of Absolute Boy or coming out and saying 'yes, I collect manhole covers'
