Current Affairs The General Election

Re count in Blyth Valley

If they counted it properly instead of rushing maybe it would be accurate first time.

134,000 dead in the last ten years due to austerity and this Tory government.

The promise of hope and desire to help others is lost on so many right now. Our day will come.

Can't believe what I'm seeing tonight. How can some of these areas vote Tory, absolutely beggars belief. Theres only 2 types of Tory, rich and selfish or poor and thick as ****

 

[RomanReigns]

Blythe valley can do one the teasers

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.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read on this forum I read some really really really stupid things, firstly do you think anyone in their right mind be it a Conservative or not would vote for Boris Johnson just based based on if they like them or not? No, they do not vote on whether they like him or not they vote on for him because of his policies which enrich the richer.

Now to Corbyn do his party policies are to consider the poor, I honestly can’t believe anyone who claims to be form Liverpool would even make that comment.

Get out of the bubble and talk to people. That's all I can suggest - I'm not the minority here.

What's your golden solution? Which Labour candidate would've won this election?

 

[dandydan]

He is a nonce. He's been a nonce for years. He needs a shivving.

And here is a big part of Labours impending wipeout.

 

[nsno-chris]

Still stand by this... absolutely bizarre

social media buzz

 

[Zatara]

...like lots of others on here I voted Labour, but I‘ve been critical of this Labour Party for a very long time. Sadly, the bullying and harassment of those Labour MPs who don’t worship Corbyn is evident in this thread tonight.

Labour needs to change.

All of them need to change i think...

From the outside looking in, no leader or team who i would go for...you need a really strong front bench.

God knows what state the country will be in by the time that comes. Make no mistake, there are vultures absolutely licking their lips at this result tonight. They are going to make an absolute killing over the next 5 years at the expense of the most vulnerable.

Yeh, correct, simple answer. Surely Labour must have been acutely aware of its impact and tried best to wrangle people back regarding it.

Labour must have thought they could replace their brexit voters with remain ones, but there are a hell of a lot of Tory remainers out that that have still voted a Tory brexit.

 

[Blues Harp]

I find it amusing that a poster can call a large portion of the country "scum" because of who they voted for...




Theres a thread on prague you could introduce them to.

Feck off lad

Just go away lad...you have no fecking idea....or a say. Come to Liverpool and start spouting your right wing views face to face

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

I think Labour proposing yet another referendum after country had already spoken just really miffed a lot of people.

Really don't underestimate Brexit and immigration, I have been taken back a number of conversation recently with people who I would identify as liberal environmentalists, who see immigration as a huge issue, purely on the house build...

Yeh they’ve really not been so sharp with the math have they.

 

[dandydan]

The country had spoken in the 70s, too. How could we vote on something when we didn’t know all of the facts? It’s actuslly been proven that the leave campaign told lies.

The vote in the 70's that said we were joining a mere trade club? That one?
