Seaside Loafer posted:No it wasn't, it was cheap and the government got the ticket money as opposed to random international hedge funds and foreign companies. Now it's so over complicated that far from the magic free market introducing efficiencies by some power of faith its hosed it up so hard its made it worse. In the train thread there's is a diagram you really need to look at. Also it was a great provider of state-funded outdoor bathrooms for the working man on the go. Edit: I do remember British Rail, in its declining years even. I don't remember it being any worse than now.

The trouble this year is that I think the increase in labour polling over the last 4 weeks means despite losing, the party will stick with Corbyn. That would be fine, and I can get on board with him. But the moderates just can't, the majority of the young can't be arsed to vote, and there'll be Tory victories until he goes.

Loving Africa Chaps posted:Also me, my dad and brothers went to go vote for jezza to remain the MP for Islington north. Felt good. I have done the same. Islington North seems to have a few UKMTers. I feel a bit better about voting for J-Corbz now Abbott is out of the picture.

mediadave posted:Oxford and Cambridge are some of the only red spots in southeast England. Don't forget, Oxford and Cambridge are both university cities, and with more than one university to boot. Oxford also has a fairly large working class area in Cowley, there's a car plant there. And even within the ancient universities - it's not wall to wall Tory toffos, you know. Maybe a third are posh and I assume Tory voters, who tend to keep to their own kind; the other two thirds are pretty much just normal students, which means they vote Labour if they vote at all. Source: I went to New College, Oxford 1995-98 and I remember the 1997 election. The JCR had about 50 of us watching the election on satellite cheering on every Labour gain and like two sad little twats in the back half heartedly cheering the occasional Tory hold.

Law is weird and can go either way. Or has massive internal frictions.

Ideal outcome (barring a Labour coalition:) He is unable to make a coalition by <10 seats, PLP tries to topple him (again,) he is reelected with an even larger margin and through pure osmosis of people hearing snippets of what he says, the fact that he isn't as bad as media/PLP is trying to paint him will get through.

Even if he stays it's still highly unlikely he's leader at the next election, unless it's another snap election later this year (lol). He's 68.

Just back from doing a democracy, woo. Voted SNP, because the local labour chap was not one of the cool socialists and is on record calling for King Jam to resign, and the SNP candidate is Okay I Guess, so. +1 for Coalition of Chaos. while this might not be the most difficult thread to troll, doing so while sporting a pepe avatar and calling yourself "African AIDS cum" might be showing your hand just a little bit

minema posted:The megaphone I heard before is actually a car with labour flags all over it and four old blokes taking it in turns on the megaphone, they look like they're having a great time. Every time I've been out and about this week I've seen labour activists and nothing from Tory, I'm hoping we can flip it this year. My Labour MP in my old constituency used to do this, for every election. Absolute legend. Glad it's spreading - nothing is more  than walking down the street and having a car drive by broadcasting "VOTE LABOUR." Pesmerga posted:Here at Warwick we're all communists, socialists and closet anarchists As a current Warwick student, this is bollocks. This university is a neoliberal shithole with more Tories than I care to count. Fortunately they are still outnumbered, but still.

Funso Banjo posted:The trouble this year is that I think the increase in labour polling over the last 4 weeks means despite losing, the party will stick with Corbyn. I'm personally hoping the labour left can wrest control over the leader nominating process like they're trying to and put up someone decent and younger to replace Corbyn. I like corbyn but he does have a lot of baggage and is getting on in years, so him stepping down in a year or two for a chosen successor would be ideal. At the very least, I'd hope that everyone but the hardline labour right has at least recognised that the manifesto presented by the party in this election was popular with lots of people. Like, if you're a centrist careerist, surely you should look at the approval numbers and run on something similar?
