Pidge is easily bored in class.

So have the UKsibs and... some colonies.


Aww, Bermuda's going to ask Iggy for more spells so she can sink more ships. Isn't that cuuute~?


Huge amounts of Irish immigrants essentially took over Montserrat in the late 1700s, making it British Empire territory by proxy even if most of the population was Irish in origin.


The Sheep Appreciation Club. Nena tells me Wales is looking very much like a dorky dad here over Falklands and New Zealand.

I know, I left out North and Scotland. I didn't have the time and every time I drew Scotty it came out... wrong.

And now.

England singing.


At the bottom, from left to right: England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.


The BBC is not allowed to pick any sort of side during the elections. Or ever. So they can't really express their opinion. However, radio presenters are sneaky. This song fits the Hung Parliament so well my mum and I were laughing when they stuck it on.

Oh yeah, and majority seperationist seats in Scotland and Northern Ireland = the guys leaving while England clears himself up. Wales hasn't got majority seats, but the vote to for separationist parties is second only to Labour.

Now watch as the custody battle over the colonies begins.

For those not up to date with British Politics;
-The first picture is Gordon Brown (the former PM) of the more left-wing Labour party. The second picture is David Cameron (shadow PM) of the right-wing Conservative party. The last picture is Nick Clegg (also known as "who?") leader of the Liberal Democrats, people who are pretty much in the middle of the political scale. Hence the joke.
- A hung parliament: when the election ends in an equal amount of seats between two parties with no clear winner. Last time we had a hung parliament was the 1970s, and it went to hell from there. Not looking forward to it.

LMAO! That is the most brilliant thing ever!! If you haven't already you totally need to post that to the Hetalia comm!! XD

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

I dunno, it's a bit OC loaded....

...

Aw, what the hell. It's funny. *does so*

[lovelylurker.livejournal.com]

Oh dear lord.

I laughed. Hard. xD

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Pleased to be of service.

England totally dances like a dad.

[maikichelorrain.livejournal.com]

I think England totally deserves to get drunk after these elections.
Cameron's awesome glare fits with the Joker!

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

He's probably still at the bar now. Sobbing. And recalling the horror of the 70s.

Cameron in that picture is like "I am going to rather cut a bitch, wot." or something. XDDDD

[maikichelorrain.livejournal.com]

I don't blame him.
I can offer him pop-corn if he wants.

*mwahahahahaha* (evil laugh)

[lizzlybonk.livejournal.com]

*hides from that picture of Cameron*

Poor England. I don't blame the others for leaving. XD Our politics are so much fail. ;.; I get the feeling England is going to be spending a lot of time in the pub from now on.

Also, I love the Sheep Appreciation Club! I always draw Wales with a sheep which I named Anglesey.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Looks like he's gonna kill someone. Also, I just noticed his eyebrows are invisible.

The hell, we're now the weakest political power in Europe with the most vulnerable government. The knowledge that France is the most powerful in Europe as well as the most stable is probably half the reason Ig's drinking from the tap.

Sheep! They're so fluffy (even if Wales does seem to like them a little too much) and cute. No wonder everyone likes them.

[lizzlybonk.livejournal.com]

And that is why I couldn't vote for him. Seriously, who wants to see that every time they turn on the news?

...France? Now I need a drink. Or five. I'll be in the pub.

_{The amount of sheep there are round here, Wales should be a sheep. :3}

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

I posted a message on my FB asking my UK friends who won, and the answers are HILARIOUS.

Everyone's basically like "...Hell if I know."

This was quite cute! XD I was waiting for someone to bring up the UK election at the Hetalia comm, haha. I don't really understand it since I'm not from the UK myself, buuuuut it's amusing nontheless. 8D

Also, fighting over the colonies? STILL? XD

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Well that's what it's like. There's no winner. We currently have no government.

"Take me to your leader" "alright, which one?"

Ahh I could go into explaining but it's all so convoluted I can't even. Basically it's who can get the most of their team into seats in Parliament. The one with the most seats gets to have their team's leader be Prime Minister.

If the UK splits, yeah. And we do still dispute over the ones we've kept (like the Falklands orz. It's on the other side of the world and serves no purpose WHY DO WE NOT JUST GIVE IT BACK TO ARGENTINA?!)

[helisse.livejournal.com]

I heard that there are some oil reserves under the sea. Like, really big reserves. Theoretically it cannot be exploited according to the Antartic Treaty, but this is now. Who knows what will happen in the future?

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

. . . Tony would be very confused if he invaded you guys right now, you know. ^^;

It's okay, I more or less figured it out with the help of my UK friends. @_@; I dislike party systems as much as the next person (oh ho ho, let's not go into how much fail AMERICAN politics are) but I didn't think you guys would be able to... "tie" like this (not the best word to describe it, but my brain doesn't work right now). OTZ Makes me kind of glad that you can't really tie in an election here.

Hahaha. Oh, Falkan Islands, right? xD I thought you meant fighting over America or Canada, and I was like "... @_@; I didn't know we were still considered colonies, but okay..." EDDIE IZZARD. <3

[renaika56.livejournal.com]

You didn't by any chance watch "Reservoir Dogs" and hear that song, did you? XD
Because that's the first place I heard it.
Joke joke joke...

I always though the Lib Dems were more center-left though.
I don't know much about UK Politics... however, I get the joke and it is funny.

I'm totally gonna have to call my cousins and see if they are gonna come again (they seem to insistent upon coming back to the States when there's a hung parliament - like in the 70s. I don't know, they're crazy).

Great now I wanna listen to the song.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Never seen that movie before in my life; first time I heard the song was on the radio this morning.

They are, but they're still more centre than Labour is.

Anyone with sense will flee a sinking ship. /melodrama. XD Though if it ends up as bad as the 70s, with strikes, unemployment and day-long black outs... yeah.

*indicates link in post :3*

[panicpancake.livejournal.com]

Ah, those colonies are adorable! *takes them home ;DD* And I don't think I can do anything right now apart from laugh at parliament. That song is definitely appriopriate. XD

Mm, I personally thought the Lib Dems were more Left wing? I don't know to be honest. XD If they betray me and form a coalition with the Torys I think I'm going to cry. D:

I don't think Scotland has left personally, I mean, the SNP only got 6 seats. xD But to be honest, I'd prefer SNP to a hung Tory parliament though. And a drunk England.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Profile post for all of them is here /shameless self pimping. There really is nothing we can do about it, just let anarchy reign until someone grows some balls and storms the House of Commons and Number 10.

Not as far left as Labor, but yeah. It's for the sake of the joke. >> Fuck no anything but Cameron, please. Please.

He hasn't left yet, but the amount of votes (not seats) the separation movement got is... well. Maybe it's me being paranoid.

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

Well damn, that sounds pretty headachey....

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

For the politicians. The rest of us are practicing the other great British pastime... apathy.

[tuulensisko.livejournal.com]

Aah. xD Sounds very familiar. We do the same here.

That said, about your earlier post: I'm scared of all these "nationalist" parties gaining popularity in all over Europe... It's happening here too, and in Sweden and... as far as I know, pretty much everywhere. And it's SCARY because those parties used to be a joke, but now... people are starting to take them seriously, and they are gaining seats in every new election not much but STILL. I've seen it happen here at least.

Oh and not talking about the separatists, idk much about those and that might be just a Britain thing, I mean the Nazis.

[coco-venus.livejournal.com]

Hee, I've already told you I love this, haven't I?

But that picture of Nick Clegg is stirring weird things in my loins. It's an oddly sexy picture.

Oh yeah, Nick, I'll be centre with you :P

(And SNP SNP WOOOOOOO!)

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

...

Sarah.

Sweetie.

He's old enough to be your dad.

(All fine and good for you, Miss Scottish. You can escape the sinking ship, being passenger not crew. >> And you have another boat to hop onto- this metaphor is getting out of hand.)

[coco-venus.livejournal.com]

... I know.

But hey, doesn't stop th perverse sexual love for Johnny Depp, does it?

(Yeah, I probably could, I guess Hee!)

[lily-winterwood.livejournal.com]

Nick Clegg is the Canada of Brit politics? OwO

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

... holy crap YOU'RE RIGHT

[enje-beatoriche.livejournal.com]

jokes XD. I think we have a hung parliament now. Who is in no.10? I don't know. Only a few more years till I get to vote, but it's very fun seeing politics going up and down at this age.The weeks watching the parties campaign were certainly very entertaining. XD

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

We do right now, though the Tories have offered to collaborate with the Lib Dems (don't do it Cleeeeeeeegg!). I had good timing in turning 18 this year. First time voting eh?

[franceismyhomie.livejournal.com]

Oh damn Scotland looking fine x]

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Mmmm yeah those muscles aren't just for caber tossing you know.~

[musubi7.livejournal.com]

At least with a hung Parliament, Mrs. Parliament will be very happy.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD MAKE THAT JOKE EVENTUALLY

[nenamoo.livejournal.com]

Yes! Someone else GOT that joke!

/dances with joy

[ihatesasuke.livejournal.com]

YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
ROFL.

[loupgaros.livejournal.com]

XD We had election coverage in work today on the news. All I could think of was 'I wonder if Arthur is trying to forget 1974 now.' With lashings of booze of course :P

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

He's probably not moved from the pub since 3am last night. Poor guy.

[loupgaros.livejournal.com]

Either that or fell asleep in front of his TV. I know I was getting bored with it, despite the lovely swingometer graphics.

[millesettecento.livejournal.com]

Elections. I don't really understand them, but I pretend I do.

And Class-Doodles! <3 Nena is right, Wales looks like mya dorky dad. AND THE SHEEP! <3!!
I can't draw during classes, because I like to sleep while the teacher speaks.

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

We all pretend we do, dear. >>

The best kind of doodles! Haha the more I look the more I see it. SHEEEEEEEEEP <3 they're so cute to draw.

My teacher carries a heavy book to drop next to people's heads if they're asleep in class. >>

[millesettecento.livejournal.com]

Is good to know I'm not the only one.

asjkas, yes they are.

Well, my teacher let me sleep because he know that I'll be the only one answering his questions the whole class. So yeah, is better if I'm asleep.

[gisho.livejournal.com]

I can't help but imagine England deciding that the only appropriate thing to do is get out of the country, and showing up on Australia's doorstep with a carry-on and a six-pack.

Nice sketches. Especially the last. I like his maddened expression in the first panel. XD

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha poor Aussie, having to put up with his dad again. >>

I couldn't resist. This whole election has got to have rendered him at least a little crazy.

[jienyap.livejournal.com]

funny, i lol'd~~ too loud

[reaperangelique.livejournal.com]

GENIUS. My dad's band used to cover that song... The idea that Iggy's off getting drunk makes me think maybe he's got something to do with our political screw-ups...like he was boozing on the job XD

[reaperangelique.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I love the Sheep Appreciation Club- we (Wales) apparently have the highest density of sheep in the world. Which is the most pathetic-sounding accolade ever orz XD (but they're cute at least)
