Concerned Citizen posted:labour's base was overwhelmingly for remain. the difference between bernie and corbyn is that corbyn is only 1 point more popular than donald trump, and widely disliked by his own party. so i think maybe corbyn might be the one who isn't really anywhere near his base *Concerned Shitizen doing math* Brexit wins by 51.89 to 48.1% Brexit is very popular but not with Corbyn's base Corbyn wins by %59.5 and again %61.8 of his base so he is widely disliked

Remember when Napoleon tried to destroy Britain by creating a "continental system" of trade which locked it out of trade with mainland Europe? The British public is like "hold my beer." Except with no empire this time around.

rudatron posted:I hope brexit really, really hurts That's pretty much how I feel about it. The brits all deserve it, they voted for it. And it was a betrayal of the US and all their other allies. Im also pretty sure trump wouldn't be president if the brexit had gone the other way, so I blame them for all America's problems too. One of the many many reasons that Macron's triumphant victory is so cool is that as a finance pro he's going to put the screws to britain's financial industry which will wound their country badly.

I'm always amused by people trying to portray Corbyn as some kind of master Trotskyist revolutionary at the head of the personality cult because blairites can't accept that the reason he keeps beating them is because they loving suck and no-one likes them

Top City Homo posted:*Concerned Shitizen doing math* corbyn got 313k votes in 2016. 9.3 million people voted for labour in 2015. the relevance of the leadership election to actual popularity in the party is pretty much zero.

One of the rhetorical tricks that corbynistas think is clever is to claim he's popular and a winner because he won the leadership elections. They forget or willfully ignore that it isnt the Party Members who count, but the general public.
