baka kaba posted:The Tories could lose their majority here, but it's still a bit much to hope that Labour will actually win outright - there's a good chance we'll end up with a coalition government I do like the idea of Lib Dem providing political cover for A50 revocation, that in itself would make for a worthwhile coalition, and go maybe 1% of the way to redeeming their betrayal of party principles and voters in 2010

I guess I don't have enough faith in the average British idiot to be emboldened by the recent polling. I fully expect many of the people who say they're leaning towards Labour again to bottle it come voting day and deliver the nation again to Tory bastards. It'll more than likely be a repeat of the previous election where fence-sitters take the "safe" choice.

I wonder, I suspect a lot of people who've been vocally don't-know or against lately are doing it to try and frighten Corbyn out. They know it's a two-horse race and they're not massively swinging lib dem, which you'd expect if they weren't going to vote labour.

Just going to post this excellent profile on Theresa May again, including a section on why she and Osborne hate each other:quote:There has been much speculation about whether May, who nominally campaigned for Remain, was secretly a Leaver all along. The evidence for her supposed duplicity lies not just in the way she has behaved since the vote but also in the very muted way she conducted herself during the campaign, to the point where she became known inside Downing Street as ‘submarine May’. But there is a more straightforward explanation. In 2013 May was slapped down by Cameron’s team for straying outside her remit by delivering a speech entitled ‘Vision for Britain’, which was seen as a transparent leadership pitch. She responded with a self-denying ordinance pledging she would never again as home secretary stray beyond her brief. She stuck to it during the EU referendum, limiting herself to a few half-hearted remarks about the security implications, where the case for Remain was always going to be a little muddy. If Cameron had wanted more from her then he should have allowed more from her earlier on. Whether or not May believes in Brexit is really a secondary issue. For her politics is all about following through.
