UK Election Lose Rishi Sunak vs Trump 2020

[DLH]

Here is how you concede defeat with integrity and dignity!

Rishi Sunak apologized to the country after his catastrophic election loss and said he had heard voters’ “anger and disappointment” and desire for change.

Speaking outside 10 Downing Street after a disastrous night for the Conservative party, Sunak confirmed his resignation as prime minister and said: “To the country I would like to say first and foremost, I am sorry.”

“I have given this job my all, but you have sent a clear signal that the government of the United Kingdom must change. And yours is the only judgment that matters.

“I have heard your anger, your disappointment, and I take responsibility for this loss.”

He also said he would step down as Conservative leader once the arrangements for selecting his successor were in place. The party looks set to win just over 121 seats, its worst result in history.

He congratulated Keir Starmer on Labour’s landside victory, saying: “In this job his successes will be all our successes and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign he is a decent, public-spirited man who I respect.

“He and his family deserve the very best of our understanding as they make the huge transition to their new lives behind this door,” he added.

 

This is TRUMP!

Democrat Joe Biden has been declared the winner of the United States presidential election by several major national media outlets, defeating incumbent Donald Trump.

Reacting to the projections on Saturday, Trump immediately accused Biden of “rushing to falsely pose as the winner”. The Republican has made repeated claims of electoral fraud without providing evidence, and his campaign has pledged to challenge the result in some battleground states.

Here is Trump’s statement in full:

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

More people in England hate drama, and mock ourselves, not taking things too seriously. Not all, obviously, but more of us. We don't have the time for drama queens.

More people in America, Russia, etc love drama—again, not all, but enough to make it effective. Americans and Russians especially take themselves more seriously than we do. I sympathize, as I often do the same.

If the drama didn't hook their populations, it wouldn't, and it wouldn't get the air time it does. If the mockery here didn't work, we wouldn't do it. You wouldn't have picked up on Trump's words for example, and considered them important; the words would be fluff. The actions might still be important to us, but nobody here would give a damn what he said beyond a headline or two.  I would mock Trump a lot if he were my leader and not be able to take him seriously, (many of us did) and I hear the same about Biden often spoken about on the train, for example, just the other day.

So you understand it's not a right or left thing. It's a difference in the populations. Certainly, we've got plenty of flaws here, and maybe we take the mockery of systems and authority too far at times, but it gets us through the tough times.

I understand I may trigger people to say: But this or that was important, I understand it was to you, so please understand you'll just be highlighting the difference in people's temperament.
 

The American dream, as seen by some average English people, although the comedian knows exactly what he's doing.

We mock ourselves, so yes we would (and do) mock Trump relentlessly.
