The General Political Thread

[StevenChilton]

Hey, so, we have a brexit agreement. How are we all feeling about it?

Not quite yet, both sides want a bit more drama first. Also Johnson is going to launch a leadership challenge so it might not even go through on the UK side.

I really hope Brazil ends up electing Haddad.. I get that there is severe dismay in the country but Bolsonaro have been speaking out as pro dictatorship pro torture and very anti LGBTQ rights.
"the error of the dictatorship was that it tortured, but did not kill." - Bolsonaro regarding the military dictatorship Brazil had from the 1960's to 1980's.

Haddad would stand a better chance if half his party wasn't behind bars. 
Bolsonaro is a crazed motherfucker but the PT is despised all across the board, no thanks to Lula of course. Oh and that knife incident really didn't help.

I'd rather have a corrupt fucker than a lunatic that could destroy muh democracy.

If the Dems can't capture the House after all this, then they are truly uninspired brats.

Oh god, Bolsonaro won..

Favelas and a good fourth of the Brazilian population gonna go pop.

I think giving the police more power to kill will probably help but then again Brazil is already the leader in terms of police kill ratio.

I'm personally more interested to see how Brazil will do if they bring back gun ownership rights to citizens and whether it will lower or raise the crime rate.

Edit:

Oh god, Bolsonaro won..

Yeah, let Brazil reelect the party that totally fucking destroyed the country. Good one m8

Merkel quitting as CDU leader in December, thank god, but says she wants to remain as Chancellor until 2021...unlikely they'd allow that surely?

Unfortunately her legacy will continue to haunt Europe for many more years yet

So the Republican nominee for governor of Georgia is not only running but also oversees the election? Nice meme.
