A slim Tory majority is more likely to lead to hard brexit since May will be at the mercy of her backbenchers. A Tory landslide or a labour coalition will likely mean a softer deal.

Didn't the markets rise a little bit on brexit night because it was obvious we were staying in and then lol

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?

Jeremy is going to win round my way. 100%. Copper-bottomed. Take it to the bank. Jeremy Hunt, in South West Surrey

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."


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.

I don't understand voting Tory in general but just imagine voting for loving Jeremy Hunt. Surely the pen would rebel when you tried?

Hard Brexit is happening no matter what the election result is. (Except a comedy Lib Dem landslide I guess).

He doesn't have a lot of baggage, he has a lot of good things that the right wing can smear him over because people are idiots, and he's had to climb back up from a difficult position after his own party desperately tried to oust him. Look at this drat comeback, the personal popularity, the spontaneous outbursts of energy and hope from people. Imagine if he had time to connect with people and push his agenda over the long term instead of having to rush it out in a few weeks

He does need to do what he set out to do, reforming the party so this surge in leftism can continue and grow, because you don't want the whole movement to be centred around one person, and I really doubt he wants a cult of personality anyway. But any successor will face the same treatment

I know we had this discussion a little while ago and I took your position to be 'Labour haven't been clear so let's assume the worst' which I can understand but are you really so sure that all their desires for economic stability and europeans rights are going to be cast aside? Corbyns Euroskeptism is historically accurate but I can't see him looking at the terms of a hard Brexit and the obvious damage it'll do to everyone and still take 'the will of the people' forward? There's so many partners on all sides of the negotiation which would welcome any attempt at backing down that I can't see it reaching that point if Labour is open to an alternative.

Was that not partially because Farage conceded defeat (despite Leave being in possession of a secret poll showing they had a 4 point lead) so the markets rose and his chums could make a quick profit off the markets?

Zephro posted:

A hard Brexit is one that involves leaving the single market, which, remember, even the Vote Leave campaign mocked as crazy and silly and self-destructive and said no-one was advocating that. Soft Brexit is some EEA-type arrangement. No-one's proposing that now, it's just different flavours of hard Brexit. I can believe Labour will be marginally less head-bangy then the c Tories, absolutely. But it's a good hard Brexit either way.

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.
