Rigel posted:Just an ignorant guess, but is the reason why UK polls are notoriously bad because on the phone a voter will tell them their preference in a perfect world where their party is actually viable, but on voting day they go "welp, my guy is dead in the water in my district, time to vote for the least-bad option" yeah you're describing constituency level polling - going to each place there is an election and polling how people will vote in said election. only one polling company does this and it's run by the arch conservative literal lord ashcroft.

Rarity posted:Just had a letter from WOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHH Thangam Debbonaire pointing out that she's up for reselection soon I got that letter too, lol. Not decided how I'll vote yet: she was lovely in the past but seems pretty competent and has refrained from sticking knives in the leadership recently.

Schrodinger's prosperity: simultaneously voting for brexit because it'll make the country more prosperous, while also accepting that things will be tough and a lot of poors and disableds are going to have to die and none of the money will make its way to them, of course. Years of being shat on have ingrained the status quo in their shrivelled brains to such an extent that they're celebrating prosperity they are never going to touch.

I don't think gammons give a poo poo about prosperity, and some would endure penury if it meant that the forrins suffer worse

Very, very long term lurker here... just wanted to say thank you to those in the thread encouraging people to get out and campaign. Just done my first bit of door knocking, it was far less terrifying than I thought and I’ll definitely be doing it again!

Maybe "no deal is better than a bad deal" means "there's no deal we're going to get that's better than a bad deal."

AceOfFlames posted:I believe I once saw it summed up as "Left wingers believe the greatest injustice is people not getting what they need. Right wingers believe the greatest injustice is people getting what they don't 'deserve'". Very much this. And it's a bit chicken-and-egg when it comes to what they think people deserve, but what people deserve and people getting away with something get all tangled up until you end up being such a wanker you'll vote for the Tories because somewhere a disabled person might have a good day where they can manage well and thus prove they need no welfare.

Gotta say, the People's Comissars are doing some sterling work if they can prevent mass rioting for several years after everyone's had to eat their pets. Also  the replies are absolutely amazing, people gushing as if this is the work of a latter-day Michaelangelo.

Jose posted:radmonger who did you vote for in 2017 Not only did I vote for Corbyn (then and in both leadership elections), I think was the only person in this thread who expected him do well. I actually put a fiver on him getting a majority, once the odds became totally ridiculous. The point is, Labour have decided not to contest the next election ( there was a vote at conference and everything, it seemed like about 3 months ago). So the relevant political topic is whether Corbyn will step down shortly after losing; I am expressing the opinion he should, in order to allow someone untalented fed by Brexit failure to carry the banner of the left. It turns out this is a surprisingly controversial position; is it that people here really think Labour will win, or have they merely not thought through the implications yet?
