lol why would they call attention to the fact that they're just rehashing their attack on Kinnock? The rags do this every loving election, and we're always the most dangerous commies imaginable.

Please, just vote conservative, we've run out of ideas, please, the markov chain is getting recursive and it's starting to spit out stories that don't even make sense to the readership. Communist cancer is going to unelect your pension via sharia law. Please, vote conservative, let us die.

From Ireland: It feels like we've all been buffeted pretty hard by the right in general over the last few years, be lovely to see the left come back with a win and maybe shift the narrative a bit. Best of luck, we're all both hoping for the best and counting on you to do everything you can.

jimmydalad posted: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. Leftism is a movement composed entirely of pebbles in lakes. Every vote cast will appear on Wikipedia and the like, and will be viewed thousands of times in the run-up to the next election, and existing support for a party allows people to give themselves permission to vote for that party. Every point towards winning the popular vote lends legitimacy to Labour's platform and any attempt to form a minority government. If you believe in Labour's values and policies, vote for them. Let everyone know that one more person wants things to get better.

American checking in, just want to clear up some confusion I've had reading exactly 6 posts over the last 1000 pages: 1) Is Corbyn really able to summon lightning to smite his foes and control electrical grids with his mind? That seems pretty electable to me. Is it unique to him or is that just sort of part of the package of being in the UK and in favor of redistributive economics 2) Has it been elaborated upon how Boris is going to make Brexit happen despite failing to do so over and over, over the course of years, all while being a huge goon who makes everybody dumber just with proximity and also he probably smells really bad and nobody likes him?

I single handedly canvassed 75 flats tonight after getting annoyed with a really crap board runner and talking him into giving me a pile of sheets and letting me get on with it. I was not letting my last night out be a damp squib. I'm really going to miss it. Might become a door to door salesman. If I can sell socialism to the masses I can sell hoovers or something.

My partner works in a Tory shitehawk factory in Chesterfield (which having just looked it up is a safe Labour constituency lol) and today persuaded a Tory colleague whose parents are landlords and run a restaurant using zero-hours contracts to vote Labour. I’m so proud of her  (I would have just told the guy “sorry your parents are cunts that get rich by stepping on people”)

So, some of the analysis posted here of what might happen tomorrow seem to point to the likelihood of a hung parliament and a Labour minority government and, just curious what is the level of justified vs unjustified optimism there? By that I mean, the Liberal Democrats have repeatedly stated that they will not cooperate with Labour under any circumstances, even for C&S if I'm not mistaken, but the unspoken assumption on a minority Labour government is that Labour would get exactly that cooperation, instead of the Libs forming a coalition with the Tories again, isn't it? Isn't that kind of naive though? And I haven't seen it just here, to be fair - all over in the press and Twitter the assumption seems to be that 255-260 seats or something like that for Labour, means a minority Labour government. That seems off. Sorry if I'm putting a damper on the (relatively, compared to baseline over the past week) spirits here, but want to know if there is something I'm missing. Anyway I'm pulling for an outright majority tomorrow. Best of luck y'all

i genuinely can't believe we might be less than 48 hours away from the first genuinely meaningful and good upheaval in politics in the last two decades. corbyn's an amazing candidate and i pray to the g*d i don't believe in that he'll win tomorrow. best wishes and solidarity from the netherlands!

I know Trump has said any deal he makes with y'all afterwards would require it. RIP to all the Labour people who had to dig into first hand accounts of interactions with our healthcare system to talk about while canvassing btw, it's a horror show that never ends and only gets worse the longer you look

Long time lurker in the thread here, watching the bullshit unfold from across the pond since 2016. Already mailed my vote in a while back - Don Valley is one of the safest Labour seats going, but I'm taking no chances - and just wanted to thank all you goons fighting the good fight back home. Will be glued to the results, and the thread, all tomorrow. E: Oh poo poo, I actually got that gang tag a few weeks back when they giving it out, I thought I'd missed the deadline. This is how often I post. Wolfechu fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Dec 12, 2019 |

The liberal democrats and the scottish national party do not have the option of not cooperating with labour, because if labour do not form a government we're brexiting in january, and that would obliterate both of their voting bases. Opposition to brexit is the core of both their platforms. If labour manage to deny the tories a majority, there is a good chance they will be able to take brexit off the table one way or another with help from the other parties, and also extend the franchise to 16s and EU citizens, both of which will break Labour rather than Tory and a commitment to which is in both the SNP and lib dem manifestos. Then we have another election, then we have a likely much stronger labour government because the tories have lost their only policy and labour have ratfucked them by bringing in a whole load of new voters who support them.

Tarnop posted:You've been a bit of an inspiration on the canvassing front. Thank you. Thanks! I haven't taken a night off in almost three weeks now and I'm a bit worried about re-adapting to regular life. Had a really fun conversation with a Greek lady tonight who didn't fall into any of my mental categories. She's not a remainer because she experienced first hand what the EU did to Greece. She's not a leaver because she's moved here from the EU. She has deep suspicions of transformative left parties after being burned by Syriza. She hates the class system in the UK for discriminating against her at work. Picking through all that to find a route to voting Labour was really hard but I think I got there.
