The Off Topic Topic

Yep. 

Though he kinda misspelled "whoa".

[Habbaku]

I assumed the earthquake caused the typo.

Okay.  Giving him a mulligan on this one.

New budget deal finalised:

Wine, beer, and boats worth more than one million has their sales tax lowered
Immigrants are to be hosted on a small island formerly home to a virus test lab because of it's good isolation from the main land.
Something vague about better environment.
Something vague about more money for the elderly
Something vague about better policing in areas that have had headlines in 2018, among them better control with money laundering. Thanks, Danske Bank.

And that's about it. Ambitious stuff.

And thus, anti-immigration policies led to zombie apocalypse.

gee thanks asshole.

Strong showing from the far right in the Andalusian regional election. Beat all the polls and scored 11% for their best result ever in an election above local level since the 1970s.

The center/right parties have the chance to oust the socialists from the regional government for the first time ever (this is like the CSU losing Bavaria-level), if they deal with the far right.

Man, the world sucks.

I really don't get the rights obsession with those people into gender politics and non binary gender identity whatnot. You'd think they were running the world rather than being just a handful of harmless oddballs you're unlikely to ever run into.

Missing so much the PSOE rule in Andalusia?  Political patronage not working for once is really sad. 

[celedhring]

Getting PSOE out of Andalucía was necessary after 40 years of uninterrupted rule. With the far right? Not so much.

That doesn't seem a fair characterization. After all, it's the left that made "non-binary gender identity" a thing.

Far right at 11% is manageable, you would have somewhat of a point, had Vox assumed power.

Btw, somebody please tell PSOE Madrid to avoid doing a Merkel and recklessly open borders, this will help against the far-right, and/or listening to the Vox Populi (pun intended sorry) too.
I see these merry clowns fellows at Vox are Macron compatible, economics-wise, à la Jairzinho. At least, they are not obnoxious evangelicals, that has to count for something.
Their very conservative view of society (ahem) should make them popular with the average muslim voter too, this gives them a multiculti bonus. So not all is bad

At the risk of getting Grumbled again, because they are racist.

[garbon]

What do you think 'racist' means?
