Current Affairs The General Election

So can we now say that a 2nd referendum is pointless? And it would be even further pro leave?

 

[GwladysBlue]

Had Johnson’s balls bouncing off it for the last 6 weeks, so she should be able to take it well.

Crying lol

Why?
1. The union movement not recovering and recapturing the ground after the Thatcher years
2. The legacy of Tony Blair - turned LP into a party representing the establishment elite; destroyed what the party stood for.

Exhibit A of why Labour are losing elections. The people supporting them actually believe these are factors here?

Nope

That actually cheered me up

Not necessarily - the polls still suggest remain ahead of leave.

However, it's now a moot point - a second referendum will never happen.

That's my hope - that the deluded Corbyn activists realise that they did the Tories more favours than the most ardent Tory campaigner could ever have done.

My fear is there is simply too many ideologists that have infiltrated the Labour rank and file to enable an electoral recovery. The electoral system also doesn't allow for a splinter party to do well, as seen by Change UK (albeit that was botched totally by some very egotistical and talentless MPs.)

I think a more realistic situation is that perhaps Momentum allow Keir Starmer to get in as leader as he's played a cute political game by being on the surface on side with Corbyn's nonsense but has retained an aura of being someone who is intelligent and has common sense. That's possible, but we could easily see the useless Thornberry or Long-Bailey in instead.

Would pro-Remain Keir Starmer have won Blyth?

 

[arminisgod]

Nope

I think we can

 

[Bungle]

Would it help if @Frang were at the wheel ?

He's to busy getting his Farage tattoo lasered off

Unbelievable isn’t he? He’s either winding people up, or just stupid.

I'm lucky I live in Edinburgh, we still have a chance of cutting ourselves loose from this. Time for nicola to come out fighting

 

[dandydan]

From the early reactions, it's going the opposite way.

Not their fault. Media all against Corbyn. Everyone's thick. Everyone's racist. Old people need to die.

Bang on, I'm sure carrying on with this tactic will reap dividends.
