goddamnedtwisto posted:Random question - does the party name on the ballot have to be the actual official name of the party? I ask because I assume it's set at registration time, when they were pushing the "Theresa May's Team" line really really hard, and having 40 million ballot papers with that on it would be hilarious given what's happened in the last month. You've got to register it as a description with the electoral commission - Looking at it this year the Tories added "The Conservative and Unionist Party" (which I guess they must have stopped using) "Conservatives" and "Scottish Conservative Party Candidate" The only thing labours added is "Aberdeen Labour, making it happen"...

Still could have been funny if they hadn't made such a cockup of the campaign and there'd been loads of "But where's Theresa May?" like the elderly neighbour someone mentioned though. And once again, lol forever at Scottish Labour.

Nick Clegg on BBC Breakfast repeating the claim that the Lib Dems will not make any deals whatsoever, and that if the Tories didn't win a majority then there would have to be a repeat of the polls until they did. What the lovely gently caress is the point of the Lib Dems? Surely the only relevance they could possibly have is as part of a coalition or other deal.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I never realised they were predicting Thurrock going red, that completely obliterates the model for me because that place is Daily Star - The Constituency. Thurrock has been competitive for a while and tbh it might flip red, seems like the sitting Tory MP has just this week confirmed the closure of a local hospital with the land being sold on to property developers... There are weirder things in the YouGov model, I think the one that's got the most head scratching is the Tories losing Devon East to an independent who trailed the Tories by 22% in 2015

If Labour won with the Labour movement in the state it's in it would be miraculous. Thinking positively though this is the third time a spontaneous grassroots movement has appeared out of nowhere to defend Corbyn just for advocating basic socialist ideas halfway decently. If we don't go d a way to turn that into some kind of lasting social force this time we absolutely do not deserve a fourth chance. Conditions are ripe for building a genuinely huge left-wing movement in this country. I'm on a tram with Alden Gillen. Who knew Carcetti lived in Croydon.

At least that's what I've told my family in order to get them to vote Labour.

Shittiest outcome would be: Significant Tory majority, May vindicated and praised for her campaign, Corbyn resigning and Labour launches into a year-long leadership contest that ends up with a robotic centre-right candidate, followed by a hard Brexit. So it'll likely be this.

Let's not forget that Clegg was also working for the Conservatives at the European Parliament, and at least according to some people that were at the College of Europe around the same time as he was, moved to the Lib Dems because he didn't think he had the contacts to rise to the top of the Conservative party.

I'll be voting labour aye, my MP is Mhairi Black though, it's purely a token vote as there is no way she's losing her seat.

The amusing thing about greens and lib Dems calling for tactical voting is that it's resulted in people looking at their constituency and realising they need to vote labour. All a repeat election means is that people get pissed off at the libdems and them losing seats imo

OrthoTrot posted:If Labour won with the Labour movement in the state it's in it would be miraculous. Yes. Do not despair comrades Attend to your barricade. 12 years after the Paris uprising there was a new France! In all seriousness though A lot of good has been done in the last few weeks. My political background isn't Labour but I'll be voting for them enthusiastically this time. The manifesto is hardly a work of art however it offers fantastic vision, something that has been lacking for years. People aren't going to be happy with Theres May's Brexit police state. Sometime soon something has got to change. Zalakwe fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Jun 7, 2017 |
