Current Affairs 2017 General Election

What a powerful piece that is

Just horrific imagery. Nightmarish almost

Unbelievable

This deal is going to be such a powerful stick with which to beat the Tories come the next election.

This will cost them votes.

I'd like to think so.

I doubt we'll see much more then a reversal of roles at the very most with Labour being the senior partner with somebody like the Lib Dems propping up a minority government and even that I think unlikely. The reailty is we have people entrenched in their political view and unwilling to see anything else. Just as many Tory voters will be out in force to block Labour if they can't win much the same as Labour voters do when they know Labour can't win. I doubt we'll be seeing a government with an outright majority for a long while to come.

It won't happen mate. Millions of voters are just as loyal to the Conservative party as Labour party voters and won't stop voting as they always have. It's not what people want to hear but it's the truth, they had one of the worst possible leaders in the history of modern poltics and they still got the largest number of votes and seats. It's all very well Labour preaching to the alredy converted but they need to stop demonizing Conservative voters and convince them Labour is the way forward. Corbyn did a good job of mobilising the youth this time but now he not only needs to keep them interested but also needs to sway the floating voters if Labour are to stand any chance to winning the next election.

Thank Christ that at least one Labour supporter gets that.

I got pelters for voting for Liam Fox, based on a local issue, and quite frankly, it isnt the most endearing way to encourage a change of heart.

Haha, a double U-turn* in an hour or so, what a mess!


*some wonder whether that's an O-turn or a W-turn...

I get pelters off fellow Labour voters because I refuse to blindly tow the party line and hysterically applaud Corbyn every time he sneezes mate. I've voted for Labour most of my life but I simply can't see anything productive coming from slaughtering those who vote differently. If you can't logically sway them through rational debate it doesn't say much for your argument. You'll never change some people's view but in my experience most voters are at least open to having their mind changed if done the right way.

Quite surprised that he's labour. 'Likes' nigh on every right wing viewpoint I see on here.

Assuming that was aimed at me, in a way, why is voting for an MP who has actively supported and progressed probably one of the most pressing issues in his area , "Right Wing" ?

No, not you. @Gwladysstreetlad

But he liked my post about non Labour voters being vilified, when perhaps engagement would be more fruitful.

Ergo, a Right Wing view?

Didn't say he 'likes' exclusively right wing views.
