And that would have won over the people who voted Tory today in the traditional heartlands how?

Running up the score isn't it.

No, you have to accept the people in the heartlands are a bunch of fascists now. The political dichotomy is not socialism and conservatism its cosmopolitan liberalism versus nationalism.

If there's any lessons to take away from tonight it's that neoliberalism has implemented itself in society in such a way that it's just a generally accepted fact of life.

who the gently caress was corbyn pandering to with his bullshit compromise positions. They could've completely neutered the Lib Dem threat day one by backing remain.

Well yeah clearly, but Corbyn has made it pretty clear for years that he wants Britain out of the EU. And it looks like he got his wish.

it wasn't, it was a radical manifesto for UK politics

It was radical by modern UK standards only because of how far back the Thatcherites have rolled back the welfare state established post-1944. The aims were absolutely not as radical as we needed. Frankly I wish we'd compromised less but ho hum, I get why they did. We don't have control of the PLP.

given the possible outcome now, is it rational to imply that the electorate should have been offered a more radical manifesto?

welcome aboard. Realtalk - while I've been indoctrinated to want a United Ireland since birth, and I truly believe in it as a political goal, I would give that all up for a credible leftist UK government helping to build international socialism.

but that's not where we are, so 26+6=1
