Tory panic...

....hopefully.

drawing straws HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

I don't but corbyn deserves a chance and he's the lesser of two evils ( even tho I think torys will stay in power.)

May couldn't run a bath never mind a country!! Corbyn is a people's man and only his campaigning will get it close in the GE but yeah have to agree the tories will just shade it!

 

[The binman chronicles]

I will be happy with anything that has the Tory majority down to about 50-55.

That would be an utter disaster for May and the Tories and strengthen the LP left tenfold.

Next parliament: let the Tories get on with overseeing the disaster and then a reinvigorated LP led by someone like Richard Burgon or Angela Rayner of the next left generation in the LP will be in good shape next election.

If the Tories only have a < 40 working majority then it would have been some campaign by Corbyn from where it started. However if the Labour left can't get in when up against let's face it the weakest conservative leader in my lifetime, then they are going to struggle to get in next time when they've replaced the strong and stable bot.

If Labour can take the best bits of this manifesto but also have policies that appeal to the current Tory voters whilst healing the divisons in the party then they could be on to something special next election. Keep moving left and the same thing will happen and if that means Boris getting in as PM then i'm leaving the UK and I'm blaming all the people that think a true far left party is the way to go.

You must be kidding mate. Corbyn and his team were left with the mess Miliband gave them - weak all over their heartlands. And the Brexit fever to deal with too.

It would be an enormous achievement for Labour's Left to get within striking distance of a party in such a good position and with the whole of the media and ruling class looking to destroy Corbyn.

Most of the polls were based on a 44% under 24 year old turnout. Reports so far is that is running at approx 66%.

No wonder the Tories are flapping.

Let's just hope it's in marginals.

I had to queue to vote and that never happens. Strongest Labour seat about like.

Youth Vote is out by me, at least. Fellow Millennials, please God.

I pointed that out in the first sentence mate that he would have done very well. But he has just re-energised the core support. The Labour party needs that and then start taking safe Tory seats.

You know what, Registered Voter Turnout could be pretty decent here. High 60s low 70s

Tory biffs

Pen is drawn.
Can now moan about whoever gets in until next time.

Come on young people, you can shape our future.

Dammit, I'm getting excited. I told myself I wouldn't get false hopes up, but this talk of high turnout is doing just that. It's like flipping transfer deadline day when you wait for 11pm and that striker we were definitely signing, only to discover you've got Southampton's 3rd choice right back.

I'm not part of the ruling class...or am I
