These two are not mutually exclusive.

Nor did anyone else. Nobody won the last election outright and we ended up with a coalition government nobody voted for.

John Oliver gives his take on the Vote.

Quote:Explaining that most American’s only know Scotland from Shrek movies and the Mel Gibson film Braveheart, Oliver explained that “nothing screams freedom quite like a millionaire Australian anti-Semite.”

Oliver detailed Scotland’s contentious relationship with England by first explaining that it is currently a member of the United Kingdom — which is not a country, but a “complicated political and complicated union”– formed in 1707.

“So Scotland and England have been involved in something of a 300-year-old arranged marriage,” he explained, “And look, I will be the first one to acknowledge, England has been a little bit of a dick since the honeymoon.
