Current Affairs 2017 General Election

Has anyone reminded Corbyn he lost yet? All this talk of how the Tories should step aside and let him exert 'the will of the people' is utterly crackers.

Disagree really - it's smart politics. He's emphasising the positives and pressuring May to look desperate and power-grasping by comparison.

It looks like TM is doing her best to make the Tories unelectable for a long long time once she's out of office. She's spent the last couple of months severely tarnishing them.

I see the pressure on May part and calling for her resignation I entirely get. But when you've run a campaign based on 'For the Many, Not the Few' it seems a tad hypocritical to be calling for Labour to get a crack at government when they are the few in this case (if even by a small percent.)

It's time for proportional representation.

Unless they went into a progressive coalition

Problem with that analogy is that Obi Wan Corbyn will be decapitated via lightsaber when the Empire Strikes Back.

Pipe down, Jar Jar.

In his mind he did win. He didn't actually want to win the overall election and then have to deal with real issues, he just wanted to get in a position where his internal Labour adversaries couldn't touch him, and he's done it. He won.......

Remember your predictions from last year that Corbyn was going to destroy the Labour party and the Tories would be in for the next 20 years. The only Tory with less credibility than you is leading the party.

...the Brexit vote was a protest vote...

How many times? NO IT WASN'T!!!

It was a vote by the country to get out of a corrupt and overpowering organisation...

Premature mate. Massively premature.

If I were Pete I'd be bookmarking that post, because Labour aren't in power, the Tories still are and they can't run a campaign as bad as that again.

Corbyn still has a huge job to do to get Labour in power.

Not borne out by the results of a 'Brexit' election, no matter how large and bold the text you use says otherwise.

Well, you continue to live in your bubble world of 'Remain' and keep lobbing accusations about the vote. Absolutely hilarious.

And you get that medication sorted for your crippling anger issues, yeah?

Didn't 82% of the population vote for a party that supports Brexit?
