On the one hand, this could (should) be popular, which is bad for Corbyn.
But, let's see if the biggest electoral gently caress-up in recent history can fight Corbyn on his own turf. You can't out-social the socialists!
Even if we lose, forcing the Tories to the left is a win for society.

This election taught us that the country wants us to be in government, but they don't want us to have a majority."

That seems like a really weird way to read the result to me. Surely the election tells you that half the electorate wanted to have you in government, and half wanted to have Labour in government.

You can't take two polar opposite electoral intentions and equate that to a desire for a minority Conservative government. Nobody voted Conservative with the end goal being a minority coalition.

oh, i'm sure. but challenge them on it until they either own up and get eviscerated for it or stay silent like colossal hypocrites (see Mrs Davison herself). they got elected because they never had to prove the nice noises they were making (or the nasty ones they were failing to make)

DD: Fondly regard abomination.

She can't really back off austerity in actual policy, though - too many Tories hunger for the blood of the poor, so she'd end up with massive rebellions. And the non-DUP parties have no reason to enable her government in exchange for anything short of complete surrender, since they all stand to profit from another election except maybe the SNP.

Yeah, I noticed that one popping up during the election coverage a few times too. There's been a lot of hilariously dumb poo poo said by pundits and politicians trying to resolve their cognitive dissonance after the election, but "people deliberately chose to vote for a hung parliament" is easily the most :catdrugs: take of them all.

So, Tories do a load of posturing on Corbyn's turf, giving him unlimited fodder to tear them down with and making him look even more honest and sincere by comparison, whilst (hopefully) giving the more egregiously bloodthirsty poo poo a rest and tearing themselves apart in the process? Sign me up. One nation!

This is such a relief; for a moment I actually thought the Conservatives might have a moment of self-reflection and realise they needed to get somebody personable like Ruth Davidson as leader and rebrand their FYGM branding to get under-50s to vote for them. It's good to see that they're just going to keep rehashing all their mistakes and failed talking points for another while yet.

Would a Tory --> Labour or Tory --> Lib Dem defection be inconceivable if someone felt they shackled their cart to the wrong horse?
From its inception in 1885 the constituency of Basingstoke has always been Tory with two exceptions. In the 1920s it went to the Liberals for one term, then in 2002 the Tory MP (Andrew Robert Frederick Ebenezer Hunter) first quit the party to be an 'independent conservative' before joining the DUP. It went back to Tory at the next general election when Hunter stood down.
