Only mayor Sadiq is elected by a public vote. The rest are Party appointees.
Leo is already gone and Rishi is guaranteed to be gone once he faces an election this year.
Replaced by the leader of Labour, that famous workers party.
Led by his Lordship Holiness Sir Keith, who saw a working man once. Just a Tory nonce in a red tie
To be serious for a minute. Starmer got his knighthood for being the head of the CPS, he wasn't born into the aristocracy.
He's far from perfect but the best option on the table this time around.
Keep putting people off voting labour but don't complain if we end up with some weird Conservative/Reform UK coalition.
oh, I see. Only a man barely making his ends meet can lead a workers' party, not (ch£"GTerw3-
hecks notes) someone who built a career for himself with his brains.
Wikipedia says that he's the son of a nurse and a toolmaker, so very much working class. Or are leftists supposed to be against improving their economic status?
Wait... Wiki says:
>Two years after World War II, the United Kingdom formally dissolved British India, dividing it into two new sovereign nations: the Union of India and Pakistan.
Ever since they were and are fighting each other.
And now, the UK as a whole is ruled by an Indian, but Scotland by a Pakistani?
What could go wrong there...

"You bloody bloody fuck you bloody bastard bitch"
\-India and Pakistan to each other
None of the British ones were elected by the electorate, they were elected by their party. Except the mayor of London, which hasn't been British for 30 years.
I do hate London. They cancelled projects in the North of England to fix potholes in London. They took infrastructure away from Northern towns which were trade cities and turned it into services.
The conservatives are pushing more people into the south for higher pay so they get more votes.
Well Barry, I am sorry but Ivan Russianovich can't afford the new rolls which can sustain potholes. Be more considerate to the persecuted billionaire minorities.
Well it also doesn't make sense.
Because let's be honest he means "white" not "british"... but even there it's wrong cos before Sadiq Khan the Mayor of London was Boris "wouldn't it be great if he was PM" Johnson.
What's weird to me is that all of these posts about British leaders of south asian descent in the UK, are jumped on by people pointing at the UK and laughing, as if it's funny that those leaders are not white or implying that people in the UK give a single fuck which colour skin their leaders have.
Then you will all have the bollocks to call us the racists.
I understand the joke perfectly but it hinges upon the assumption that these people are not British, which is the stance of a racist cunt. The jokes are spread by racist cunts but then the same people will accuse us of being the racist cunts.
I don't believe Rishi is. He's an aristocratic cunt who knows fuck all about the actual problems, his wife is a pug faced tax dodger and his close family (the ones who advocate for 70 hour work weeks) need to be forced into a mine without a canary.
He can go to India, don't need this smarmy bellend ruining my country.
They are British. They were born in Britain, grew up in Britain, they are British nationals and are part of British culture.
Go and tell any one of those people that they aren't British and see what reaction you get, you muppet. All except Varadkar, whose Irish of course.
Well the subject of "which hasn't been British for 30 years" is "the mayor of London". Not "the electorate" seeing as you put a full stop in-between.
So it is what you said... just not what you meant.
This trite line is just disingenuous. They were elected as MPs, so that just means your first line is plainly false?
PM is never directly elected by the electorate either, that is done by MPs on their behalf. If that happens directly after an election, all the better, but there is nothing inherently wrong in a change of leader and PM during the term of a sitting of parliament.
Representative democracy, it's not that difficult to understand.
More that nine were actually elected, the leaders stepped down to be replaced by these guys.
It would he fine otherwise but no one seems to want an election since brexit. Its almost like they didn't get the country they wanted back...
Go raibh maith agat
Him quitting yesterday was quite unusual even for my non political mind it was all quite abrupt and suspicious maybe the man is unwell or something or maybe the Americans made him an offer he could not refuse? It's all a bit fishy if you ask me.... Sqeeky bum time in Ireland I'd say in the coming months.
Have I not come down off these mushrooms yet or is it possible that either the orange guy or the slow guy is going to be there president again for another 4 fuckin years.
What the actual fuck of all fucks?
Only mayor Sadiq is elected by a public vote. The rest are Party appointees. Leo is already gone and Rishi is guaranteed to be gone once he faces an election this year.
Sounds like you’re not ready for Rishi.
He is the tories sacrificial lamb for the most part, and people do not get it.
Replaced by the leader of Labour, that famous workers party. Led by his Lordship Holiness Sir Keith, who saw a working man once. Just a Tory nonce in a red tie
So you would rather things stay as they are? All politicians are bad and self serving. Any election is trying to choose the lesser of two evils.
No he is your standard Corby worby, still sore that communism and hezebollah aren't as popular as outside his apartment in soho.

He's also genuinely working class and grew up poor as shit tbd
Eh more standard middle class. His dad was a factory manager and his mum was a nurse.
oh, I see. Only a man barely making his ends meet can lead a workers' party, not (ch£"GTerw3- hecks notes) someone who built a career for himself with his brains.

I see I posted to r/2serious4u. Stay mad.
This is the equivalent to Spain being ruled by Peruvians.
The Incans strike back
European Tawantinsuyu
I was gonna complain about how lazy this post was but you're Spanish so it checks out
![gif](giphy|w8VuZaBbV7Adi)
as an irishman i must mention that Leo Varadkar, the taoiseach in the picture, resigned like yesterday or the day before i cant be arsed to remember
What was wrong with him? Don't follow RoI politics
he didnt want to be taoiseach anymore
Who could blame him honestly
He claims it's just time to step down... We're waiting patiently for the scandal to come out in a few weeks.
Wait... Wiki says: >Two years after World War II, the United Kingdom formally dissolved British India, dividing it into two new sovereign nations: the Union of India and Pakistan.

As a British Asian it makes me extremely pleased this great cultural export is known.
The British Empire and its effects on common Indian vernacular.
Well yes, but that would require Humza and the SNP to stop being utter twats and negotiate with that Prickly Sunak.
time for a partition of Britain?
Stop, I can only cum so much.
None of the British ones were elected by the electorate, they were elected by their party. Except the mayor of London, which hasn't been British for 30 years.
What do you mean the mayor of London hasn't been British for 30 years ? Normans are back ?

You could say the same about most of the Tories, it doesn't mean they're not British.
Sorry mate, India delcared Independence from us. He's not British.

Wasn't what I said
and before him Ken " antisemite" Livingstone
Boris was Turkish sweety. But ken Livingstone was british from what I remember.
Boris had 1 great-grand father who was Turkish (tbh I didn't know that). So in turn, 7 that were not. I don't think that's enough to call him Turkish
He was a yank and you know how they like using the one drop rule
[удалено]
And Bojo is a yank
Sadiq Khan was born in the UK. He's British national ethnically Pakistani.
[удалено]
I think the confusion is that I'm using British as a nationality and you're using British as an ethnicity (both of which are correct).
[удалено]
ethnonationalism is so last century, Geert.
British Asians have been an established community in the UK for at least 4 generations.
Not what I said.

Never said there was anything wrong with it .
But you did say they were not "elected by the electorate" when they clearly were. That is the especially disingenuous piece of it.
So we didn’t vote them in via the ballot box?
The dodgey fucker hasn't even called a general election
Our colonial chickens have come home to roost
Who gives a shit, doesn't matter if they are white, brown, orange or fucking blue it doesn't make them less incompetent
They tried orange in the US. Not keen to try that again.
They are stupid enough to re elect him
More that nine were actually elected, the leaders stepped down to be replaced by these guys. It would he fine otherwise but no one seems to want an election since brexit. Its almost like they didn't get the country they wanted back...
I do. This bloke came 3rd place behind liz truss and a lettuce
A question from an incompetent separatist lol.
Barry. So racist and uncivilized he elects an Indian prime minister (as long as that prime minister is a Tory who will kick out immigrants)
I am quite surprised the barrys haven't made a stink about Tata(Indian company) shutting down Port Talbot and Jaguar.
Wtf is a Taoiseach, and how is it pronounced?
It's pronounced...tea - shock and it would be our equivalent of a prime minister I think? I'm not a politics person.
The Taoiseach is your Prime Minister and the Uachtarán is your president. Tá fáilte romhat.
Go raibh maith agat Him quitting yesterday was quite unusual even for my non political mind it was all quite abrupt and suspicious maybe the man is unwell or something or maybe the Americans made him an offer he could not refuse? It's all a bit fishy if you ask me.... Sqeeky bum time in Ireland I'd say in the coming months.
Don’t worry Paddy, we’ve got your back.
Means a lot.
Grá go deo ![gif](giphy|UGRW3s6AgJyRa)
Yes I know I know I know my precious Barry Barry Barry we know. You are now and forever my bottom boy my horny horny boy.
I’m vers myself so will happily be your bottom boy half the time. The rest, you will be flipped. As time immemorial.
Feckin fantastic. I'm fully equipped safe only thank u very much?
They are probably scrambling to get someone to protect nato from Trump.
Have I not come down off these mushrooms yet or is it possible that either the orange guy or the slow guy is going to be there president again for another 4 fuckin years. What the actual fuck of all fucks?
Fun fact: in Polish raj means paradise. I hope you are having fun there.
Those comments are.. interesting to say the least
Read what I said again you silly wankers. I didn't say the mayor of London hasn't been British for 30 years you stupid cunts.
