It's been ten loving years of Tory's in government gently caress

However it was that Johnson managed to position himself as if he was the opposition outsider in this election, it was masterful.

They're idiots who think that their MP should have fixed everything in their consistency, I reckon

Another good reason to ditch constituencies and go to full proportional representation imo

Brexit isn't popular, at the absolute best about half of the population is pro Brexit and half against. Labour was inherently structurally weak to the brexit issue because of how its seats and voter base were set up.
Going to be interesting to watch what happens re: Brexit votes in parliament now - big majority means that Boris can just straight-up gently caress over NI.

On the other hand, it also means that they've got far less excuses for not getting poo poo done - no more blaiming "Remainer obstruction".

This is why Labour has lost the northern heartlands.

Labour has taken them for granted since the 70's and the recent crop of southern party apparatchiks have given them no reason to think that they will bring back jobs to the north.

If Labour wants to win they are going to have to stop taking the north for granted.

asking sincerely: how do you go forward with a socialist platform that is almost perfect for those constituencies but the population is convinced to hold on to the faded luster of empire?

as in, brexit fundamentally reads to me as a matter of "the united kingdom is SOOO much better than Europe, they are only dragging us down" which is extremely convenient for a tory perspective

I am going to continue to support Labour.

Corbyn's policies were right and good, he was just ahead of his time and the cunts who live in this country were not ready to go for openly progressive policy.

I will probably continue to be unable to get any form of PiP.

These are thoughts I have.

Feelings? I think I am going to loving snap the neck of the next Lib Dem I see.

The manifesto gave us every reason to think there would be a return of jobs to the north, we built the industrialized world for generations, we would build the energy infrastructure of the future here.

But I don't think anyone wanted to listen. Because that legacy isn't real any more, it's a dream, and the tory dream of empire is stronger.

why do youthink this matters

Chances of restarting devolution significantly increase and Unionists are politically animated like nationalists where in 2017, loyalist pressure on the DUP to distance themselves from the Tories will be sharp.

An aggregated unionist voting bloc turning out in higher and higher numbers with a new sense of purpose is a reversal of trends where turnouts are traditionally depressed among working class unionist voters

We have them, but they aren't what's most easily available, because what's most easily available is what has the biggest financial backing, and that's the state and private broadcasters. The opportunity cost for people without a vested interest in ignoring those media is too high.

Wow. Maybe I was wrong, the entire bar just erupted with them all singing 'ooh Jeremy Corbyn'. It does my black and broken heart good.

People have seen that there is an alternative to neoliberalism and fascism, if the Labour party doesn't somehow get pushed massively towards the right this is still going to stay.

The tories are going to have to own Brexit for real now, they have zero excuses.


I actually agree with this in some respects, people are loving stupid, the more stuff you say you want to do the more they will think that you're just saying things you won't actually do. Just have a bunch of policies which you plan for and talk about inside the party without necessarily making it a big electoral push. The Tories had the better campaign in this respect, it was rediculously focused on like 3 things, Brexit, more nurses and hospitals (only not really) and more police.

Corbyn wasn't perfect - fantasic on progressive policies that would make the UK a better place. But he never seemed to go hard enough on the Tories when they hosed up. It reminds me of the Michelle Obama "When they go low, we go high" poo poo. All it means in practice is that they go unchallenged.

We need big John armed, and we need it now.
