It was precisely because we DID get the message across that we find ourselves in this predicament. Quoting for next page. This is the poo poo.

Mainwaring posted:Technically pm can be in the house of lords so you could drop an emergency life peerage on them I suppose. Realistically any party leader losing their seat is unlikely to have just won an election. This actually happened in the second most recent British Columbian election. The BC Liberals won an unexpected majority government despite being unpopular incumbents but their widely reviled leader Christie Clark was defeated. She had to run in a bye-election in a safe seat before she was able to be seated in Parliament. Actually the BC Liberals fate is somewhat similar to that of the UK Conservatives. They also just failed to win a majority in their most recent election and are almost certainly going to be chucked out of office by an NDP-Green partnership whenever the legislature next sits. And much like May, Clarke is bitterly trying to cling to power.

i'm starting to think obama only got reelected through sheer luck edit: lol quote:In various roles he also advised the Conservative Party[5][6] in their unsuccessful 2017 campaign, the Prime Minister of Italy in the unsuccessful 2016 constitutional referendum and Hillary Clinton in her unsuccessful 2016 bid for the United States Presidency.

It played to his strengths as a candidate. Jim Messina thought that was a proven program for success that could work for anybody.

It's almost as if political campaigning in the US and UK are completely different beasts and trying to transfer strategies and skills across will often flop (didn't Nate Silver try and completely fail to do predictions for the 2010 election and give up on ever doing it again?)

whenever people talk after an election about how everything about the (perceived) winners did was good and everything the (percieved) losers did was bad i remind myself that if comey hadn't sent that letter last year clinton would likely have won and there'd be a bunch of articles about how amazing her 31st century hypercampaign was and how it left trump's bunglers no chance despite his 'surprisingly good' performance now a crinkly old social democrat and a fresh-faced centrist dipshit did well in elections within a week of each other so nobody will know what to think until another election result comes along to demonstrate the secret truth of political campaigns. this time it will be *rolls dice* making sure your slogans alliterate this is unfair to people who think seriously about elections, but i'm not convinced it's unfair to campaign professionals

That people think Corbyn is far left is really an indictment of how far right political thought has shifted. The fact that Lord Owen who split from the party over Foot endorsed Corbyn should be enough to show that without having to start comparing the Labour manifesto to Foot's suicide note.
