the Lib Dems are at it again https://www.theguardian.com/politic...f08eeb483f1a1ef quote:The fact that we’re on 20 MPs and to get to 326 is quite a target, yes. We will get to the other side of the election and if the Conservatives haven’t got a majority then discussions will take place, but we will take each issue as it comes and vote accordingly and we will not be putting Jeremy Corbyn into No 10 …

forkboy84 posted:Mike Gapes won 75.8% last time out. His majority was over 50%. Traditionally the seat has gone Labour to Tory to Labour to Tory since 1945, but since Mike Gapes became MP it became a very strong safe seat. Delicious. Also I really really want to tell my students to vote Labour today on that policy alone but of course I can only tell them to vote.

The Lib Dems couldn't be loving it harder. Even the most rabid fubpee knows that they can't get a majority, and even if they don't want to vote Labour, they know full well that propping up a tory government will ultimately deliver Brexit, and another hung parliament risks it as well. Jo Swinson seems almost gleefully enthusiastic about losing votes.

Jo Swinson seems almost gleefully enthusiastic about losing votes. I went out with two left leaning people on Saturday, both of whom live in LAB/CON marginals, and both said they were voting Lib Dem to stop Brexit. Politically engaged people are seeing through this really easily, but I wouldn't underestimate the number of people who followed and hashtag and joined a Facebook group and now know what must be done for the greater good. (The greater good). They can still do a lot of damage, even if it's not as much as Swinson wants.

thespaceinvader posted:Worst person you know dot jpeg (it's probably not actually a good point but the title makes it seem like one) It's not a good point. It's "they're all the same" intended to smear Labour by associating them with the trash fire that is the Tory Party. It excuses the excesses of the Tories and plays right into their hands by discouraging potential Labour voters.

What is with the absolute hatred and vitriol towards Jeremy Corbyn? I understand his policies are good Ng to be unpopular with certain folk, but it seems the whole 'not fit to be prime minister' bs and lib Dems saying they would absolutely never help him be pm is a bit over the top for simply not liking his policies etc. I don't really buy that the anti-Semitism stuff is actually swaying people either, given it's sorta died down a wee bit. Does the average person really think he's gonna go full Stalin the second he gets in power?

You can't really farm out the marking of papers here because of the niche subject-matter expertise required; so you'd take the existing workload and then chuck in god knows how many cranks and no-hopers and piss-takers to wade through before you got to the genuine candidates. For every one diamond in the rough you'd have a hundred totally worthless chancers. To make it workable you'd have to have some pre-qualification criteria which just ends up smuggling the original problem back into the solution.

They aren't going to just say "I don't want jeremy corbyn in power because he's going to take away some of my obscene wealth and power". They know he won't let them get away with their hoarding, so they want rid of him. The items they settled on (AS and unelectability) were not chosen specifically, there was just a good 18 months of random mudslinging to see what stuck, and those stuck best.
