Current Affairs The General Election

[nsno-chris]

You dont vote for a leader, you vote for a party and their manifestos. There's no excuse for these scabs.

Shame on anyone who chose the Tories. And if they did I hope they get the sharp end of what's coming.

corbyn and momentum have taken Labour away from the working class person and focussed on free stuff, identity politics and London

he ignored the working class for 3 years and tried to buy their vote. And it backfired because he has no idea what the working class person wants

Say what you want about Liverpool but we’re a city with a conscience. We voted to stay in the EU and we’re a labour city.

For the many, not the few!

The party that had a shed load of leave constituencies and a manifesto promising a second referendum? That one? God knows why the poll looks so grim eh?

 

[thirdmantackle]

To be honest, the UK probably deserves everything they get for the next 5 years

 

[ramacca]

EU referendum exit poll remain 'won'.

 

[Toast]

First declaration seems to be taking a little while.. could be a sign of a high turnout

Could be a shout this.

All still dead busy counting it looks like.

100% spot on.

This and the constant confirmation bias from supporters. Labour need a drastic rethink over direction because the country has rejected it in its current guise for far too long

 

[catcherintherye]

There's lots of long term problems for Labour.

One is aware of them. You had hoped that a youthful vote, and increased turnout would have offset it.

It looks as it it hasn't.

Lots of things to say. To me Corbyn has had a radical manifesto, but it hasn't been matched with a radical rhetoric for most of the time. I think people struggled to believe it. It's hard to be insurgent one minute and quite cautious the next.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Honestly mate, if you´re not a member then you should join the party and help take the party in what you think is the right direction. Word of warning, it´s not good for the blood pressure.

I will never join any political party. I like to be a free spirit lol

But the country is better off when we have a sensible centre left option. I dont believe we did this election.

 

[ToffeeTim]

...it will have to change its governance. It’s run by the left, it’ll have to return to the centre ground and it’s hard to see how that can happen. Corbyn will be replaced by a Corbynist.

Well I sincerely hope not.

 

[Goat]

We are all gutted and when I say we, I mean the people with their dignity intact.

But honestly, spare a thought for the millions of non-white people in this country, the majority of this country has just voted an actual racist moron to lead their country.

I often thought, how did the German people vote for Hitler and here we are, voting for a low-grade Hitler.

And what honestly does a working person want? A stereotypical working class person? Please share your knowledge Delphi you oracle.

 

[efcste97]

95% chance of SNP gaining Jo Swinsons seat.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Labours own fault - Corbyn and momentum have utterly destroyed the party.

Sooner they bugger off to the Lib Dems where they belong the better.

Labour needs to get back to its centre position if it ever hopes to win an election again.

Labour just need to replace Corbyn, the policies are attractive.

 

[dandydan]

it's a fairly solid indication youre a throbbing [Poor language removed] mate

A solid indication that this thread is a mouthbreather echo chamber. But you carry on slagging off anyone who thinks different I'm sure it'll win the next election.
