Current Affairs The General Election

[nsno-chris]

So 50 swing seats is 3 polling stations per constituency.

its a sample size to determine. It’s obviously not correct but it’s an indication

Way to miss the point by a country mile.

I said millions, I didnt say all.

For the many, not the few.

You got exact numbers of the racial make up of each parties voters? Or are you making a wild assumption?

This thread is going to get proper messy

Need us to announce Moyes after the press embargo to save it.

Hopefully we get a proper labour party back with sensible leadership and sensible policies.

Next election very winnable with the right decisions. I doubt Boris will be popular in 4/5 years time.

I don't think that's going to happen unless there is a fundamental change of direction. That will only happen with an influx of people with different ideas and beliefs. If you want a proper Labour party back join it and help change it. I'm assuming here that you are not already a member.

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

It would be like if we American Democrats actually nominated Tulsi Gabbard for President.

You really had a shocking candidate. I don’t understand why he wasn’t replaced, was that just not an option? I’m obviously sorry this has happened to you, but to me it wasn’t much of a surprise.

lol poor you

Even more people likely to suffer due to this projected result. Children starving in poverty and you think it's funny? [Poor language removed] of the highest order you, lad.

The use of the swear filter says volumes.

I'm sure it does if you extrapolate hard enough.

Farage spoiled his ballot paper.

Really ?

Probably dribbled on it and they couldn't make out his vote.

Youre a child [Poor language removed] nonce and I hope you're stabbed in an alley you actual filth.

Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend, you have been the one, you have been the one for me....

Sarcastic rather than condescending but carry on you absolute salt of the earth worky workman. It's easy to say he didn't appeal to your mythical working man but you aren't telling me what EVERY working class person wants.

dafuq is a worky workman you utter clown

if the exit poll is correct, then your answer is there

Yes, no.

SNP and Libs should have never let fresh elections, kept saying it was a terrible mistake.

Take it from someone who didn't want a Tory win but definitely didn't want a Corbyn win.

It isn't just the leader. It's the policies too. "NATIONALISE EVERYTHING!" has zero appeal; nationalise some things as part of a moderate, evolutionary, fully costed centre-left manifesto would have massive appeal.

The answer isn't to find a 'radical' leader - the answer is to appeal to people; pragmatism over ideology. Play the game that exists, not the one you wish existed.

Johnson plowing hard right was an opportunity for Labour to appeal to normal people horrified by it. Instead, they went harder in the opposite direction. In a country that is centre-right and has no socialist history whatsoever. Suicidal.

It is all about creating the right narrative and that will be very difficult to achieve regardless of who is Labour leader. The press will find something wrong and it will played out again and again over the next 5 years.
