unwantedplatypus posted:The cool thing about being American is that Jeremy Corbyn will be elected PM before I go to sleep tomorrow He might be, he might not, it's a weird quantum thing that it kind of doesn't matter brainwise. If the tories get a majority or get propped up by the Lib Dems then that sucks, it'll cause a lot of pointless pain, but if there wasn't a left-wing force in politics then that pain would have happened either way, it isn't mitigated by a different colour rosette being the cause. For the foreseeable future a political force for basic decency is going to face the same overwhelming establishment opposition so even if it loses tomorrow that's just an outcome of our grotesque power structure, you had to roll the hard 6 but didn't, it isn't a meaningful signifier so as someone said above the fight goes on.

jimmydalad posted:I’m worried that blue Tories are going to win the constituency if yellows aren’t propped. Not even a single constituency in the UK in the last 100 years has been decided by a single vote. One of the goals we as supporters of Labour should be trying to achieve is the complete destruction of the Liberal Democrats, getting rid of a faux force of progressiveness which really just stands in the way of any real change from a socilist Labour majority government.

It's North East Fife, two votes in it between the SNP and the Lib Dems, with the SNP just edging it. One of my best pals from undergrad voted in it e: also standing was the INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN DEMOCRATIC BRITAIN party, which with 224 votes won more than 100x the majority difference ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Dec 12, 2019 |

Gatts posted:Yeah same ZoninSilver posted:More well wishings to you all from a Nordic country, no matter what happens it's been unreal to look at an election and dare feel hope for something other than tepid status-quo keeping. Best I've been able to do was argue with a british uncle who seemed interested in the Labour manifesto yet keeps posting dumb anti-labour/Corbyn poo poo. He's mostly ignored my rebuttals rather than argue, but last night I argued with him that if Corbyn somehow turns out as bad as he believes he is, it's just one man to remove from power and that's that, if Tories win and the NHS debacle turns out real, there's no bloody way to stop it since they're all in on it. I feel like that gave him pause, might never know if it made a difference, but I'll be very happy if I could make the tiniest possible difference over there Kreeblah posted:Me, too.

To everyone who is scared, who desperately wants things to change, we love you, and you are awesome too. Together, we've got this.

Chuka Umana posted:Is their anything they can do with a donation this late though? Yes. If they're posting ads on Facebook say, then they will have an account which someone's credit card will be attached to and every time it hits their limit of ad spend, they'll get another bill. This could be up to a month after the end of the campaign. Whichever poor sap has their Credit Card attached will be more than overjoyed at seeing a donation!

I don’t know what I can do for people who don’t realise that having the same opinion as the Sun is a very bad thing. I’m so jaded by the recent history of politics. I guess I might as well vote Labour even if it’s just like chucking a pebble into a lake.
