    Just so folks here know how the UK election is related to “Climate Change”…

    December 2014:
    Ed Miliband lambasts PM for ‘ignoring advice on climate change’

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ed-miliband-lambasts-pm-for-ignoring-advice-on-climate-change-9908487.html

    The Labour leader, who was climate change secretary of state in the last government, adds: “The leadership and political consensus we once offered the world have been replaced by dither and denial.”

    May 2015:

    The Labour leader quits after a shock election drubbing, and tells supporters he is “truly sorry” he did not succeed.

    The strongest voice against the warmist mongering in England is the UK Independence Party. They took 12% of this vote which a respectable %, but they held only one seat. They are in a difficult position because that England geographically is even more RED vs BLUE than the U.S. In places where Labour is strong, the UK Independence Party is the second party of choice. In places where the Tories are strong, the UK Independence Party is the second party of choice. So they often come in second and win no seats.

      However UKIP is still having an influence because the Labour and Tory parties know UKIP is nipping at their heels so they do not dare to anything too outrageous.

      Given Rotherham I do have to agree: Labour’s PCC Victory In the Rape-Gang Regions of the North Is Proof that Turkeys Do Vote for Christmas

      We’re not talking about the odd rotten apple here. We’re talking about an entrenched system of what you might call “institutional child rape apologism” or even “institutional child rape endorsement,” extending all the way from the so-called “Muslim community” through to the local councils, the childcare charities such as Barnardos and even the police. This was one of the things that made that Keith Vaz hearing so compelling: first the bravura stonewalling from the guilty parties (“I cannot recollect” was the phrase you kept hearing); second the evident lack of guilt; third, the almost indignant reluctance to admit that they’d done anything wrong. I wonder if this was how it felt during the Nuremberg trials: watching people who inhabit an entirely different moral universe.

      Well in the weeks since I’ve been reflecting on this strange phenomenon and I’ve come up with various theories as to how such things can have come to pass in a modern, civilised society which prides itself on the attention and effort it devotes to the protection of children.

      One of these theories can be summed up in a word: Labour.

      We can see that here in the USA too. To Progs, placating a minority voting block is much much more important than the Rule of Law.

      Fabian cofounder George Bernard Shaw summed up the Fabian Socialist/Progressive attitude towards the Rule of Law.

      “A government with the policy to rob Peter to pay Paul can be assured of the support of Paul.”

      Only the actions that benefit those in power will be followed even if it is ruinous to the citizens and even the country.

    The greens got nowhere in this election, retaining their single seat (out of 650), and the greenish lib dems got absolutely hammered, but it would be a terrible mistake to think that climate change was an issue in this election.
    The issue barely got a mention and it registered bottom of peoples concerns. It was never debated and all the main parties seemed to agree to leave it off the agenda.
    We may have gotten the right result but it was more to do with a total plonker being in charge of labour. Unfortunately, you in the US only have a massive plonker, O’bummer, and not a total one in charge of the Democrats

    • Frank K. says:

      I’m surprised that Climate Change didn’t get more traction on the left in the UK. After all, Miliband was the Climate Change Czar for several years – you would think he would have made that issue one of the cornerstones of his campaign.

    • swordfishtrombone says:

      I completely agree that climate change wasn’t an issue at all in this election. I didn’t even hear about Labour’s crazy “de-carbonise by 2030” manifesto pledge until two days before the election. The Conservative swing was in my view due to people being appalled at the prospect of a Labour-SNP coalition.

  4. Timo Soren says:

    I am glad for the political swing. But am not Enlish. However, ‘the best statistician’ who predicts these thing, Nate Silverman, didn’t see this coming. The great lesson to be learned is we can’t nor will we ever be able to predict the future well, ESPECIALLY with climate models.

    • Mike D says:

      I really wonder if the polls weren’t intentionally biased, like some state races were in 2014. I recall a couple that were many points off where they ended. One or two that were going to be landslides turned out almost even, and some dead heats were runaways.

  5. Timo Soren says:

    So sorry, have no idea why I wrote Silverman, when it is Nate Silver!

  6. Ted says:

    What I’m still trying to figure out is the absolute massacre north of Hadrian’s wall. SNP picked up 50 seats, to 56. Scotland only has 59 seats. Aren’t the Scottish Nationalists the ones pushing for, you know, Scottish nationalism? Weren’t they supposedly beaten by 11%, just seven months ago?

    It’s been overshadowed by the apparently fraudulent exit polling in England. But I can’t be the only one thinking there’s something rotten in Scotland. I’m starting to wonder if, just maybe, that independence referendum might have had an irregularity or two. I know. That’s crazy talk.
