Congratulations on the results, Britain, well done! Also, does this mean that New Labour is dead for good?

NewMars posted:Reminder that one of the strongest candidates for PM when may is knifed is literally everything the DUP hates: a scottish lesbian. As funny as it would be to watch Ruth go for the UK leadership and face some actual scrutiny, I don't think she is ready or willing to do it any time soon.

Sad to report my constituency stayed Tory but it's been a stronghold for years (and full of inbreds) so I'm not surprised. The Labour candidate didn't do badly though, so maybe one day.

Huh, just defended Diane Abbott against lovely accusations of racism on another board and found out that quite a few of the posters on there hold surprisingly racist views, so that was 'nice'. Ms Abbott seems to have the ability to set anyone off.

Ok, thanks. I thought the PM was voted by a simple majority because it's so weird to me that a system would outright acknowledge political parties exist. I've been trying to make up for beign a hermit the past decade or so, but every couple of months I find out that the most powerful elected position in Australia is actually the royal sheepshearer or something equally strange.

For anyone who's trying to say Corbyn lost: can you really argue Labour's position is worse now than it was when he took the leadership? Back then we were facing a comfortable Tory majority until 2020. Now we have an extremely weak coalition that will almost certainly not last that long.

Jeherrin posted:Okay, I'm all ears: what's your take on it? I mean, I'd rather have a dialogue with people of differing views to me than just insist either person is flat-out wrong. In a general sense, those of us who gave up on Labour did so in sorrow rather than anger. The jam man has proved what Labour can do if it has principles: Scottish Labour sadly lags behind on this, and that's a lot of why it's the Tories and not them humping us right now. The SNP amusingly has been driven out of its own heartlands and into what was once Labour's. Labour's campaign up here hasn't been Corbyn's: it's been a competition with the Tories over who's more anti - SNP. Just like New Labour proved, you can't out Tory the Tories. Corbyn is unironically the greatest threat to Scottish nationalism because he could make the UK not poo poo. Run on that and not 'SNP bad' and tbh you could've wiped the floor with us. E: I'm in the bizarre situation where I'm incredibly pleased for UK Labour and yet deeply sceptical of the Scottish branch

My hope is in flux. While I understand a DUPCON coalition will be bad, I'm still not confident that 6 months in the political limelight will be kind to the Jam Man. The press will be out to get him and will be looking to invent even more stories about his love for terrorism and bombings. Can anyone sure me up with some fresh hope?

Ms Abbott seems to have the ability to set anyone off. I've had to revisit my opinion on Diane Abbott after seeing her stunning result in her constituency and the sheer quantity and obscenity of the racist and sexist abuse she puts up with. I hope she's making a list and checking it twice for when she's home secretary. (Would be nice if she could avoid being embarrassing in interviews though, come on)

I still reckon that if the SNP hadn't run on such a divisive platform we might not have been in a position whereby opposition parties could get away with campaigning on 'SNP bad' rather than concrete policy, but it's all water under the bridge now; Sturgeon has admitted Indeyref#2 influenced what went down in Scotland last night. Scottish Labour are in a pretty lamentable position (I still voted for 'em, though...) but it's kind of a moot point for me, at this juncture: I'm moving south of the border for work later in the year. I really hope that Scottish Labour recovers its credibility and becomes a meaningful asset to the jam man.

Corbyn trucking on until either the next GE, or until he's ~70 odd, then handing the reins to Clive Lewis seems like the best timeline

Unironically the same. I'm pro indy because I think the UK is beyond reform and that's the grassroots progressive option on the table. Make a better offer and indy dies.
