You, on the 13th of May: quote:If Corbyn equals are slightly betters the vote share of Miliband or Brown then I hope he follows their example and resigns as party leader immediately after it becomes apparent he has been unable to deliver a Labour government.

Happily it looks like Abbott has been replaced by Thornberry for the BBC Womens' Hour debate. Also, it seems that her appearance on Sky last night was organised by her directly, without the authorisation of the party. Also ffs everyone stop engaging with Pissflaps.

It's getting pretty old. It's a fair question to ask because it addresses the biggest concern the electorate have with the Labour party. If Labour want to win they need to be able to answer it in a way that convinces people.

The recent trend of one lost election => immediate resignation destabilises individual parties and our entire parliamentary system. I don't doubt that the Lange messer would be out immediately following a loss, but, considering most of the criticism against Corbyn is about his electability, it's pretty much unjustifiable to call for his resignation if he makes any ground at all after a decade of waning support. e: ^ I'd really like to hear the Tory response to having economics explained to them like they're 5, I'm genuinely disappointed that people aren't firmly rebuking the whole "but you see it's good to give rich people all the money because they'll put a small amount of it back into the economy unlike ordinary people who put all of it back into the economy" thing Borrovan fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Jun 6, 2017 |

Pissflaps posted:Yes that's also me sharing my opinion that the Tories will win with a large majority. While governing strength isn't radically affected between 80 and 150+ that is practically 50% of the earlier claim. If you previously believed Corbyn was going to lose in a landslide and now think he might lose you have shifted your expectations of performance without shifting your assessment of ability. It's like hearing someone say the England manager is poo poo and they're going to lose 5-0 in their next match and then half way through the match, when they seem to be doing much better than expected they go, 'see I always said they were poo poo, I predict a 2-1 drubbing.'

I'm sure if Labour lose by 80+ seats you can all take great moral comfort from the fact that Pissflaps was technically wrong and therefore Corbyn can stay as leader forever and ever amen.

Pissflaps posted:Milliband improved on Brown's result. He lost seats against an incumbent government, and one that was implementing a policy of literally grinding up the poor and using them as fuel at that. Plus, a dead cat could have improved on Brown. A trend is a trend.

No it's like saying England will lose 6-0 and they actually lose 3-0. It would take an odd person to think the important part was letting in three fewer goals than expected.

Pissflaps posted:What result are you anticipating ? At this point I'm expecting the Tories to win with a ~20 seat majority. But I think there's a ~25% chance of a hung parliament. It's worth pointing out that taking the worst poll for Labour (11 point Tory lead) and plugging it into the worst model (uniform swing) yields a Tory majority of 84 seats.
