Current Affairs The Conservative Party

[Aqui1a]

Spearheaded by pretty right wing nationalists.

Nice bed fellows for a Socialist. If thats what you are.

Wait what?

As a socialist Joe, there must be something inside you that thinks "this is wrong" when so many people you must absolutely detest think that Brexit is the way ahead for this country.

There's definitely a Leftist case to be made for Brexit, to be fair.

Wait what?

The main leaders of the Leave campaign were not Socialists. Joey says he is one, so the Q was asked why he believed and agreed with them

If there was, it wasnt very well made.

And most people kinda suspect Corbyn is in that camp too. He just doesn't want to admit it.

After meeting with a raft of leading Tories such as Gove Rees Mogg its Boris that is Bannons pivot in the 'national populist revolt' here in the UK and the Tory party is the choice of American altright in promoting nationalism, only a matter of time now before Boris stands against May..

He might well be, but he is concerned first and foremost with winning the next election, and frustrating though it may be, his clearly deliberate ambiguity on Brexit derives from his political calculations rather than his private views. These are a red-herring, as far as Brexit is concerned.

Remainer fixation on Corbyn reflects an emotional reaction to his public image, and reveals a misunderstanding of the underlying political dynamics (not commenting about you here, @Bruce Wayne!).

What Corbyn understands - and what centrist Labour Remainers don't want to admit - is that a significant minority of Labour voters still support Brexit, and they are concentrated in marginal constituencies like Mansfield which Labour must recover in order to win.

Having yet another moan about Corbyn has a palliative effect on liberal Remainers - and is certainly much easier than coming to terms with led alone addressing Britain's mass political disaffection - but it is not really relevant to the pointless self-induced crisis that the Tories have delivered us.

Well no, because he is representing Labours position rather than his own (which is the of Bennite one about the EU being a bosses club first and foremost, run in the interests of capital).

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Another of American Altright stooges Farage backs Boris to be next Tory leader, no doubt the endorsement from the UKIP messiah will shore up Tory grass roots.

A third of Labour voters voted Out ...
Talking of beds how's your bamboo-
As for nationalist we may have never won World War Two..."

Excuse me two of Labour MPs were in the Out campain how come Brexit has progressed in a hung Parliment......

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Bruce I am a democrat the vote was for out - by a high turn out........
Labour to renationalise will need to out of the EU properly .......
A deal will get done imo WTO will hurt them also.......

Why do you keep repeating this untruth? We could renationalise our railways and utilities whilst being a member of the EU. Most EU countries have national owned railways.

If you think the spivs and charlatans leading the charge for a no deal Brexit are somehow patriots, then you’ve been done up like a kipper

Is it the East Coast Mainline that was nationalised recently?
