    As an American, I always assumed Tories was the actual name of the Conservative Party, not their nickname… learn something new every day

        That still sounds accurate to the modus operandi of what I’m used to from a Conservative Party.

        Though it infuriates me that a party can literally call themselves and be regularly referred to as “The thieves who want to eat your baby!”, by EVEN THEIR SUPPORTERS, and still not only be considered a viable party, but have more or less become the majority party of their country…

        It’s got real “They call themselves Decepticons and you thought they’d honor a deal?” energy

          I mean, in Norway we have the Pirate Party (that’s their official name) and they seem like an alright bunch. It’s a political party trying to champion online privacy.
