ooh, ice burn, quoting from a ban from 2012.

This thread is obviously pretty pro-Corbyn, and displays the same refusal to admit fault on his part that he does. Apart from the core of Corbyn/Momentum supporters pretty much every commentator, within Labour and without, agrees that his campaign was crap, voters hated him (I do concede that the media was particularly hostile, but it was also because of things like support for the IRA, Assad and Hezbollah). Again, the worst loss in decades and decades and nobody will attribute responsibility to him?

soft brexit isn't much of a brexit tbh but lets most people be happy its finally over

if you’re talking about a soft brexit in the sense of something that preserves freedom of movement and market access then yeah maybe that would have been a good choice but he would have had to have articulated that very clearly which as we have seen he is just terrible at, but at this rate we aren’t even sure he is not against these two big concessions

i dunno eu has a lot of problems, ecb front and center is pretty much the devil

like the only thing america has done correct, ever, is at least paying lip service to workers via dual mandate (which is now hosed because of gig economy, but that's a new can of worms)

labour could have campaigned on soft brexit and lost way more middle class urban shitheads to the lib dems, they could have campaigned harder on remain and had no credibility because no one would believe corbyn and theyd also have lost even more former labour strongholds that went strong brexit to the tories, or they could have replaced corbyn with someone more appealing to liberals and credible on remain - and thus completely demoralized the entire activist base of the labour party and sunk the campaign anyway

in hindsight you guys were pretty hosed, sorry. at this point you have no option other than to organize for the future, and either dig in on socialism or become more racist

Problem with trying to sell a soft brexit is that absolutely nobody wants it, remainers hate for being brexit, and leavers think it's a betrayal of brexit because it wouldn't put every foreigner in a concentration camp

Fats Dominar is on the case


in my eyes the most cogent criticism of corbyn is one I’ve read from numerous canvassers, to whit, people (poor, white) hate him because they think he believes that foreign lives are worth as much as white British ones. there is no defense against this charge because it’s true. “we have to take care of our own people first” is a rallying cry and it’s one bojo deployed expertly; even nice old ladies who would NEVER think of themselves as racist will agree with it.

Overall (this was a UK election after all) the share dropped to about 32%, a drop of around 8%. That is a huge drop by any standard.

Part of how the Soviet Union fell apart was secessionist Republican governments doing a tax revolt where they stopped sending funds to Moscow. If Bojo denies an Indy ref I could see that being Scotland's only option.

Yeah the U.K. is probably headed towards a Soviet style breakup at best. Yugoslav style more likely. I mean frankly there is an argument to be made that like most of the former Yugoslav countries the countries of the island of Britain are really too small to be effective in the international sphere. But fourth years of Neoliberalism can fracture a place.
