Thank you, Laura, for explaining the UK situation to us Americans and making us feel a tiny bit better that we’re not the only corrupt failing lying rotting plutocracy on the planet pretending to be a democracy. And send more photos of the little sweet hope for the future!

Well actually we didn't vote for Labour in record numbers Laura and the turnout was the lowest since WWII. If you include Farage's neo-fascist party vote along with the near Fascist Tory Party, they actually had more votes than Labour. There can never be a truly democratic election in the UK as the system is geared to keep one of the two parties, in power, forever. It's been this way for over a century.
