It's then that I shut that shit right down by saying that in my opinion, Margaret Thatcher was the greatest Prime Minister this country has ever seen, and as a nation the UK has missed her leadership, her pride in Britain, and her general socialist bashing.
Shitlibs can't process that. She's a woman so naturally she should be in charge, but...she was a conservative...

Eh, I won't go so far as to say that *no* woman should be president. Hillary definitely should not.
Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria were solid monarchs for the brits. Hell, there was actually talk on this board that Ivanka could be a decent VP pick, and if Trump died in office, either of assassination or heart attack(he is looking like he is putting on some weight), we would have a female president that would actually be potentially good, honestly would you have a problem with Ivanka or someone of her caliber intellect(and the rest of her) in the oval office?

Quote:In 1839, Melbourne resigned after Radicals and Tories (both of whom Victoria detested) voted against a bill to suspend the constitution of Jamaica. The bill removed political power from plantation owners who were resisting measures associated with the abolition of slavery. The Queen commissioned a Tory, Sir Robert Peel, to form a new ministry. At the time, it was customary for the prime minister to appoint members of the Royal Household, who were usually his political allies and their spouses. Many of the Queen's ladies of the bedchamber were wives of Whigs, and Peel expected to replace them with wives of Tories. In what became known as the bedchamber crisis, Victoria, advised by Melbourne, objected to their removal. Peel refused to govern under the restrictions imposed by the Queen, and consequently resigned his commission, allowing Melbourne to return to office.

Elizabeth II has never played a hand in Parliamentary politics.

Yes, I was talking about Elizabeth I. Margaret Thatcher was PM and didn't cause the end of the world, popular with some, unpopular with others, though the brits sang "ding dong the witch is dead" when she died.
But what on earth is going on with the Democratic presidential primary? It is really looking like Bernie will win the delegate battle but lose because of the superdelegates that will vote for Hillary? Or if he really gets the majority of the delegates, will some of the superdelegates recognize that he is the people's choice and not support Hillary, and thus give Bernie the nomination? The remaining states are very white(like New york, California, the northeast, Oregon) and likely very pro Bernie.
This election season will be VERY interesting, I think Bernie gets more delegates, but gets screwed at the convention and loses the nomination because of the super delegates, and I think Trump gets enough delegates for a nomination, but gets screwed at the convention by some back room deal and we see someone like Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan become the nominee and Trump runs 3rd party. Then what happens? Chaos?
