I habitually refrain from commenting on politics in other countries, but it looks to me as if the Republicans in US are in fact no longer one party, but rather two smaller parties, and therefore do not have a majority actually

@ancientsounds Political parties in #USPolitics at the federal level are rather looser than they are in the U.K., but that's a rough approximation to what is going on.

It bodes ill for what's going to happen for the next two years, as a deadlock _within_ the House majority party will block lots of stuff. Either there is going to be some bipartisanship, or the party-within-a-party will hold everything to ransom.
