Ein Sexmonster posted:Seems like the opposite is happening. The PLP are all lining up now that their relevance is tied to Corbyn. yeah, Woodcock didn't go after him so no-one will. Labour should do what the Tories did after Brexit and come together while their opponents collapse into recriminations.

Pinterest Mom posted:Is there actually a credible source saying that she asked for multiple recounts, or just twitter jokes? During her victory speech she thanked the poll workers for having counted all the votes twice. I was wondering the same thing because how fast are these people that they could do 9 recounts in such short time?

Kaislioc posted:I loving guarantee there is some wanker in the PLP ready to break out "...now just imagine what we could have done with a more electable leader!". The ones who are most likely to do so have already kissed the ring. Corbyn is bullet proof now and even in this loss looks like a winner. Think about it this is an election where the party that won is going to lose their leader and the opposition is keeping theirs. When the gently caress has that ever happened.

Hm, maybe the Tories could dangle special immigration/trade/border stuff between the UK and Ireland to woo the Unionists? Actually poo poo, can you even do that? You have to negotiate with the EU as a bloc right?

All that talk of a coalition of chaos, but holy hell I don't envy the nob who has to try and make that particular arrangement work, especially when everyone in NI doesn't want a hard Brexit because closing the Ireland border will badly gently caress up Good Friday.

gently caress. I'm in Newcastle-under-lyme which is very similar to Stoke S (Slim Labour but no UKIP this year) and still hasn't declared and they hosed up the voting at Keele Uni and turned away lots of students

Murderion posted:Eeyup, they've just had a DUP talking head on discussing this exact thing. It is a Problem. Yeah that's what made me think of it. But then I realized "wait a second, the EU would never loving allow that, this dude is mad" The whole point of the EU is that the EU sets the border/trade/immigration policy for all EU members. You can't make a special deal with Ireland the same as you couldn't make one with France or Germany or whoever. It's all or nothing. And if you make that kind of deal then the UK basically lit their vote in the EU on fire in exchange for...staying in the EU?

BigRed0427 posted:Yeah. YOu guys are counting this as a win, right? Yes. In a sense. Labour haven't got an overall majority, but massively weakened the Tories, convinced the PM to resign, and managed to pull themselves out of a death spiral by increasing both their vote majority, and seats. All thanks to the "unelectable" Jam Grandad - who was fighting against both his own party, and under a very hostile media, and still is standing strong.

Thinking from a purely mercenary place, could this be the best possible outcome for Labour as a party, medium term? If the Conservatives end up with a feckless PM leading us into a disasterous Brexit, does that let Labour avoid any fallout from Brexit while avoiding a desperate lurch to the right?

If there is a Conservative government after all this, this is not a win and you're going to look like a right nana if you start trying to say it is. The actually sane position would be that Labour lost in a photo finish, did absolutely as well as possible given all their self-inflicted handicaps, and we're now in an ideal position to fight the next election, whenever it may be, as long as the PLP shuts the gently caress up and pulls on the same rope as everyone else, in the same way that Jeremy and the rest of the awkward squad pulled in 1997. What this does do is give a huge boost to the movement towards democratic policy-making and tweaking the leadership election rules to ensure we can get a continuity candidate on the ballot when we need them.
