The history of democracy is littered with the detritus of (almost exclusively male) egos bending truth and thriving on short-term fixes, seeing nothing except the next election.

The Caneries are in Africa.
Ceuta and Melilla are in Africa.
Guyana is in S America
Gaudeloupe is in the Caribbean.
New Caledonia is much nearer to Queensland than Paris
Tahiti, last time I was there, was in the South Pacific.
All of these places are within the European Union.

And it won't be over until the fat lady sings!

We could be heading for our sixth PM in twelve years, and then next year we actually have an election so the door may keep revolving.

Anybody who thinks that the UK parliament has descended into farce and chaos has not been keeping up with our friends (?) down under.
