That's not a result that says he's inherently hopeless and could never win, as claimed; that suggests short sighted idiots sabotaged a good thing. When has he been 'fighting his party' during this election?

That's not a result that says he's inherently hopeless and could never win, as claimed; that suggests short sighted idiots sabotaged a good thing. Plus his polls and favourability ratings have shot up since the election campaign, now the public have read the manifesto and seen what he actually stands for, and seen him give speeches and interviews which weren't edited into a 30-second hit piece for the BBC website. Imagine where he'd be now if he hadn't spent 18 months being portrayed as an unelectable, weak, indecisive, anti-Semitic Communist by members of the media and of his own party.

Sky News posted:The Tories are unleashing Boris Johnson to attack Jeremy Corbyn in the tense final days of the General Election campaign. gently caress guys, might as well pack it in. quote:On Brexit, the Prime Minister is also promising new trade structures to make sure all parts of the UK benefit from leaving the EU. Newsflash: Tories release boring policy on trade that no-one understands. quote:Labour is returning to another issue on which the Tories have looked vulnerable during the campaign, Mrs May's social care plans - branded a "dementia tax" by opponents. Meanwhile Labour continues to attack extremely unpopular plans on social care and accuse the Tories of trying to kill pensioners. It's hard to believe they are still being this poo poo even in the closing days of the campaign.

Piss flaps, I know that your currently tying your personal identity to the "Corbyn must lose" idea. I get it. We all get it. FFS, we all went into this knowing the liklihood of winning was remote. I've voted Corbyn twice for leader. I knew that when May called the election. I am personally amazed at the effort and progress made in the Campaign. It's been really inspirational. And I cling to that small hope that we will get the upset we all hope for. I kinda hope you want that upset too. I'm not blind to the challenge. I'm not blind as to the expectation that we will lose. Don't mistake the Hope expressed here as some sort of delusion. We knew it was an insurmountable challenge. You don't have to say the same stuff. It's okay, we get it. I get it. If it happens, it'll be amazing. But it probably won't. But I think how far we've come and I think that deserves some acknowledgement, don't you? Anyway, I'm going to try to pass that hope I have down again. I don't think I can deal with my own disappointment and the tears of my friends, people that see their life in risk. Take care.

Pissflaps posted:When has he been 'fighting his party' during this election? One example of many, although I will concede things have calmed down since the election was called. He's still 'fighting' his party in the sense they are not actively supporting the national campaign. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/01/labour-front-bench-not-says-former-corbyn-shadow-minister-michael/ On the plus side, Tom Watson has obviously decided he likes the way the wind is blowing and started laying into Theresa May: quote:In a speech to Labour supporters in Birmingham on Monday, the party's deputy leader will say Mrs May's track record proves she cannot be trusted.

Fairly sure it's always been on a Thursday. Which again, gives advantage to parties where: 1) Supporters are retired and can go and vote 2) Supporters work reasonably middle-class jobs where they can come in late or take a bit of time off

Righto. Is there a specific reason it's Thursday? I remember the US having Tuesday for some specific 19th century reason about farmer's market days being on Saturday.

If you want to poison your mind with some hope, remember how everyone keeps saying that leader rating is a good indicator on who wins the election? Here's the latest from yougov (a few days old): https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/871113524310925312

Fans posted:I think it's because that's the day people are least likely to be drunk. It is actually related to the likelihood of being drunk. quote:UNTIL 1918, polling at General Elections took place over several days and at one time different constituencies could complete polling on different days, thereby - it was alleged - creating a bandwagon effect for a successful political party. The 1918 Representation of the People Act restricted polling to one day (except for Orkney and Shetland until 1929). Since 1918 a General Election has always been on a Thursday, except for 1918, 1922, 1924 and 1931. The reason for choosing Thursday, it is said, was as follows. On Fridays the voters were paid their wages and if they went for a drink in a public house they would be subject to pressure from the Conservative brewing interests, while on Sundays they would be subject to influence by Free Church ministers who were generally Liberal in persuasion. Therefore choose the day furthest from influence by either publicans or Free Church clergymen, namely Thursday. Although these influences are much less significant today, the trend towards Thursday becoming a universal polling day has continued, because Urban District Councils and Rural District Councils all polled on a Saturday until they were abolished under the 1972 Local Government Act. Their successor District Councils poll on a Thursday and the Parish Council polling day was changed from Saturday to Thursday at the same time.

We live in the worst possible timeline. Labour will win just barely, and the PLP will promptly stab Corbyn in the back in favor of some Blairite shithead. Literally none of the Labour manifesto's proposals will come to pass. With the electorate soured on Labour's non-delivery on their promises, 3 decades of Tory rule is ushered in at the next election. There. Now whatever happens, I can go "it could've been worse"

Pissflaps posted:When Corbyn fails to defeat the worst Tory campaign in living memory it will take a brave person to continue insisting I am wrong. You already are wrong. Whether he wins or loses he should have had the support of his party. They chose to believe, like you, that it was impossible for him to win and set about making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Worst Conservative campaign in history? Meet most backstabbing party of imbeciles who have utterly betrayed their leader and the Labour membership. They cancel each other out.
