Current Affairs The General Election

Can't really disagree with this to be honest

He hung on for far too long and it's cost his party big time

Nice one Corbyn. Successfully managing to guide his party to their worst defeat since before the second world war.

Perhaps this is why members of his own party made several attempts at getting rid of him in recent years? His determination to cling on like a limpet at all costs really has cost his party imo.

It says a lot for current Labour party when this minging Tory lot can win by such a huge margin against them.

I don´t get this ´hung on´ idea. He won 40% of the vote in 2017. Even if you loathe him that earned him the right to take the party into the next election.

Sorry? Please remind me when Johnson demanded revoke/remain?

He didn't demand to revoke or remain. I'm suggesting he may have famously held more that one position with respect to remaining or leaving the EU. And prevented Brexit happening by virtue of his own actions on more than one occasion, including while as PM.

Seriously, the forum is much better if you put that white supremacist P.O.S. on ignore.

yikes...is that accurate? maybe i missed some previous.

i agree gloating is as poisonous as any other form of division. fine in football as it's just a game. in politics it's a bit ugly.

pipe it down a tad @dandydan

He was demonised in the same way and was accused of anti-semitism in the same was in 2017 though. The variable was the position on Brexit.

It was ramped up to a new high this time and the leaked "my mate the Tory activist" tapes put the top hat on it.

Once the vote was called for and the decision of that referendum was made clear, he’s not been ambiguous.

Contrast that with the preposterous idea of Starmer - a remain ideologue - performing a u turn of the magnitude you are suggesting.

The two issues simply aren’t in the same stratosphere.

just wanted to pop in to emphasise what a horrendous little shithead that dandydan is, what kind of sad case watches his party win an election and then goes on a forum where said party are despised and then spends two hours trying to wind everyone up ? It’s like supporting Liverpool, wining the league and then going and celebrating on an Everton forum.

Next level shittheadery from a confirmed incel

Aye, @dandydan a grim little dweeb. I've seen his output on 4Chan too, he actually tones it down here

...not for me, Billy. Somebody new, somebody fresh, somebody with a huge intellect.

I’ll do it.

I’ll do it.

he said somebody with a huge intellect.

Labour lost because they failed to follow the wishes of the country regarding Brexit....

Have to admit I never realised just how much people wanted to leave Europe but you are indeed spot on. Spoke to a few people earlier on and for them Brexit offers them hope when for me it's just giving more power to the people who have divided and conquered. Guess we all get to see what exactly Brexit means over the next few years, I just really hope the people that wanted it so bad and yet don't really know why aren't going to regret this for the rest of their lives because it's all of us who have to live with it.

We are basically at the point of hoping Boris Johnson isn't the absolute clown he presents himself as.

And yet, on more than one occasion Johnson has prevented Brexit from happening. Including pulling his own bill from Parliament after it had been voted to a second reading.

Brexit will happen, Starmers position could be reasonably expected given the parliamentary deadlock and a number of possible options. Those aren't available anymore. All the opposition can do from here is warn and seek to limit damage.

And if all else fails my advice to anyone like Starmer would be, just lie. Just lie or avoid it then throw something else to the fish to distract them.

I was surprised they did so well. I didn't a single Conservative leaflet through the post even, and I didn't see a single Tory poster during the entire campaign. I suspect a lot of Conservative voters are English people who've moved into the county - I believe something like 30% of Ceredigion's population was born outside Wales.

Btw I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Tories came second here in 1983.

Do you mind me asking whereabouts are you?

Johnson pulled his own bill because the remainer parliament would have tagged revoke/remain conditions such as second referendum and customs union on to it.

Even now, in remainers most humiliating hour, more embarrassing for them than the actual referendum, for this reinforces and doubles down on the people’s view - they seem to think spouting nonsense like the above will be taken seriously by the electorate. You’ve failed twice now - time to think about your own arguments instead of banging your head against a wall.

I know. I read it with my huge intellect.

While London mayor he advocated at every opportunity to further the deregulating of the Banking sector right up to his defeat in May 2008...
