Current Affairs The Labour Party

[edge]

I think it's a two-horse race now, and Labour may win. I can see a chunk of middle, comfortable England not voting for May because of her abhorrent neglect of the environment and Corporate dependency biting.

Don't think they will win, only way the might have a bit of a chance is tap into the British. Love of the underdog taking on the bigger beast.
Turn it into its us the people against them, the press barons, the multi national a, the super rich and the corrupted and we don't fall for the propaganda machine they command, get people out in numbers every time corbyn is on chanting the mantra, a sort of UK drain the swamp movement, sadly I don't think those running labour have the brains or gumption to pull it off.
Corbyn the last week ,to me anyway seems to be doing quite well, but every other person they put up isn't up to the job in front of the cameras, constantly not knowing there figures for there brief, and not savvy enough to just repeat a mantra like the Tories do.
Sadly I expect. Them to get picked to bits over the coming weeks and wilt under the spotlight, big win for the Tories to follow.

Please don't put your money where your mouth is!

The @dandydan meltdown in here at anything which even hints at being something other than right-wing is hilarious.

Talk about being precious.

..the worst thing that can happen is that Labour suffer a heavy defeat but not the landslide being forecast. Some will see it as a victory meaning the Party will remain a shop front for the Momentum movement for at least 5 more years. It's no good for anybody to have one party politics, especially under a Conservative government.

I can see a new centre left Party being formed if Labour continue under this governance.

So can I, but the party wouldn't be centre-left - it would be a sort of anti-UKIP, formed up of the Progress tendency, what remains of the Cameroons and the odd Lib Dem, brought together to "fight against" Brexit. It would have loads of media time but rather less popular support.

 

[tsubaki]

We need a strong opposition and Corbyn and his merry band of lightweights are not it.........

Corbyn represents the strongest opposition we have had for decades - between 2001 and 2015, both main parties agreed on almost every area of policy, only differing on the degree to which something should be done.

yep, and it would campaign on the rousing cry of "we will strive to settle for just 85% of the Tory austerity agenda! and we promise to feel really bad about it!"

Is it just me or does this election feel like it's taking an age. God only knows how the Yanks put up with theirs........

The only way Labour will win is because the Tory campaign is so obviously full of lies, and has been right from the start - she wasn't forced in to the election, it isn't in the national interest, a huge mandate will be worth nothing in Brexit negotiations, she isn't strong and stable, she didn't refuse to take part in debates in order to meet with the people, they aren't going to do anything good for the working man, and you aren't being asked to vote for Theresa May's Team.

And yet they are still way ahead in the polls......go figure......

@dandydan, can you do one? You offer nothing substantial to the debate, and you exist purely to wind people up.

He's like my brother from another mother.

Leave him alone you monsters.

..they let the Russians run theirs.

..they let the Russians run theirs.

Whilst ours is half inspired by one of their most brutal regimes!

Polls are statistically invalid, because of their sample size. They can at best provide a general idea OF THOSE SAMPLED. The Referendum is a classic example of polling samples being wide of the mark...

I bet Theresa May is strong and stable in the bedroom. Magnificent figure of a woman.
