Corbyn will soon be playing his "but...but I'm not the establishment!!!" and refusing to accept that he's been a terrible leader of Labour. Cameron and May werre at least politicans who ruined themselves with austerity and Brexit, Johnson is just a wrecking ball of spite.

through thousands of posts in D&D over a decade, I now believe I know what I'm talking about. if I post forcefully and confidently, I can convince others that is true. no one sees through my facade.

Grouchio posted:

And the worst part is i'm not bloody sure how. Hollow promises?

Corbyn doesn't really seem in tune with the electorate and hasn't for years. His total inability to grapple with Brexit in an authentic way spelled doom for his personal brand, and thoroughly split the Labour vote. This much has been fairly clear for years now. Frankly he'd probably have been much better off ceding power during the interim and coming back in after the issue had been resolved, since he just couldn't deal with it.

If the Tories win this big my family will definitely be decamping to Ireland, they're not exactly a million miles better but at least it's not... this. I know we should stay and fight but we're disabled, we can't survive in this country with another five years of full-scale Tories.

If this exit poll is correct, then my sense that Corbyn’s triangulation was only going to end up pissing everyone off on all sides seems to have been correct. Momentumite Labour is pretty much finished at this stage, and I think even if people like Piddock and Rayner keep their seats, they’re not going to be well placed to take over from Corbyn, who I expect will be gone by tomorrow morning. Holy gently caress this is even worse than I was expecting.

I just do not understand people. Leaving JC to the side; how do you look at Boris, his performance up until now, his utter lack of empathy, his complete refusal to talk on any real policy over the campaign... how do you look at that, and think "yes, that person represents a party of values I support"? Nothing personal about it, just looking at him fumbling around in any professional role; mayor, politician, foreign sec, prime minister. Absolute clown shoes.

Jesus Christ. Went to let the dogs out, came back to find the exit polls were way worse than I'd even imagined possible.

If they're anything even approaching accurate, then this country is permanently hosed. Brexit will happen with No Deal almost certain by the end of 2020. Johnson and his cronies will get to do every other horrible thing they want. And don't forget that the boundary redrawing reducing the number of MPs to 600 that got shelved under Cameron is all but certain to go ahead, and eliminate far more Labour seats than Tory.

Meanwhile, Thatcher laughs from her grave.

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

this is the thing - while I do believe in a United Ireland as an endgoal at some stage I was happy to put it on the back burner so long as there remained a chance for an even slightly socialist government in the UK. if this exit poll is right, and if we really do have 5 more years of extreme Tory rule, then I'll take my chances with fine gael et al.

don't forget the transition period ends a year from now, and tory brexit people think it'll need to be two or three years more than that

and trade agreements won't come easily unless we basically agree to whatever the EU wants

even if the tories win, might even get another election within a year
