[Elong]

As long as I get to wave my St George flag and kick der Muslims out of der country so dey stop stealing der jobs I'm 'appy!

Mandleson has already started the ball rolling.....

haha, who just knew he would pop up at some point!

Our entire economy is based around a financial services industry that now has no reason to be based here.

We export nothing and our productivity is abysmal.

These Brexiters have one hell of a job on their hands

I don't think at any point of casually promising the referendum before having to set a date for it that He thought it would lose. That is what i find amusing about it, it is clear he thought it was a given and therefore could just hold it whenever.

There's nothing amusing about it. Some truly dumb Labour voters would have voted out to give him a kicking, without thinking for a second they were essentially electing Gove and Johnson.

Insane decision. The lower classes have fell for it hook, line and sinker. I always believed the working classes had more common sense than the upper classes; I was wrong.

I think you are right on this. Sadly there is no way Labour could win a GE especially given the situation in Scotland with SNP.

Potentially this is the end of the Labour Party, the final nail in the only party that could ever have represented the poor, the sick or the needy.

UK politics are weird. Tories are beset by scandal, loss of public confidence, internal strife so naturally that's the end of...Labour?

They'll all be relocated to Frankfurt by the new year. If only someone could've predicted this!?

 

[Elong]

Hahaha, self sustained country. Just absolute lol. All for a bit of flag waving and posting some Churchill quotes around the joint.

Also, Corbyn should resign immediately. Absolutely woeful performance.

Arguably Mandelson is one of those who should bear some responsibility for the result. The Labour communities were lost in 90s/00s when the effects of deindustrialisation weren't mitigated.

Tony Pulis for PM?

 

[peteblue]

I wonder how many years of EU membership that £250 billion would get you? Again though, none of this was actually predicted at all.

This was never about money....it's about democracy.......and democracy, like it or not, has just been seen in action......

Wouldn't surprise me if he voted out, he's been anti EU his whole backbench career

 

[The Esk]

Could change Esk if they change leader sharpish, they are drifting away anyway under the last two leaders.
A new leader that engaged with the public could save it.
They could uses the turmoil to there advantage ,
I have always voted labour in the general elections but other than habit and they are better than the other lot I dont really feel strongly about them anymore.

Perhaps this is Andy Burnham's chance once more. Can't think of another Labour MP whose reputation has been enhanced in the last year or so by the public.

Of course it has but it doesn't mean it's not a complete financial disaster that we all have to live with .

I wouldn't even call it a performance....it was an abrogation of leadership and responsibility....
