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.

I dunno about that. Yugoslavia broke up because as soon as Milosevic went Serb chauvinist on Kosovo everybody started arming themselves. it’s just hard to imagine the Scots secretly arming themselves the same way the Croats did.

This is sure an open-minded and tolerant forum where a variety of viewpoints can be discussed. Do you really think that this is a cool way to respond to a post or poster which you disagree with? The insults allow you to other anyone who offers an opposing viewpoint, thus rendering anything they say automatically wrong. That conveniently means that you don't have to consider what they say, let alone their opinions, or even the facts they provide.

The numbers don't lie. Voters turned off Labour because of Corbyn. Labour did the worst it has done in decades. Its share of vote is less than it has been for years. Despite 9 awful years of austerity, terrible government, and a lying, racist, sexist sack of poo poo in Johnson, Labour under Corbyn still could not win a general election. It is clear how terrible and ill-suited to the job Johnson is, and voters still preferred him to Corbyn. Worse they lost it by a landslide. Attack me for saying that all you like, but you're just shooting the messenger so that you can ignore the reality. But among most posters here, it seems, laying any responsibility whatsoever for that at Corbyn's door is enough to merit abuse.

Corbyn, as always, had an overly nuanced attitude towards Asssad. Had he risked the Curse of the Lion, Labour would have 0 seats in parliament, Ireland and Scotland would break away and join the EU, and England would be an unofficial colony of the US.

I mean all that stuff is going to happen anyways, but Jezza’s conscience is clean.

theres definitely a part of that as shown by the number of hate crimes currently happening but as with 2016 its a result of a supposed labour government getting in and being neolib as hell and just assuming those areas would vote labour forever. this was the election that didn't happen

One of the surveys I quoted showed that by far the biggest factor in voters not voting Labour was the leadership. JC placed himself front and centre. So I think the numbers do show that.

Yes Corbyn is at fault for not being authentic and just saying that Labour would follow the will of the voters on the referendum. Instead of agreeing to a second referendum. People wanted closure on that cluster duck and he allowed remoaner liberals to convince him otherwise. Which made him seem weak as a leader.Btw I also have a used iPhone six. And I am not nearly as big a oval office as you are.

Of course it’s a factor, and Labour sat on the fence. It was a difficult position to be in. But I also think it’s very clear that voters really didn’t like Corbyn, and he ran a bad campaign, with a dreadful result.

I am doubtful at that. Labour right has been utterly weakened. Now at the same time I have doubts about Labours future as the Tories do have a way to stay in power which is defending the “integrity” of the union as Scotland and NI try to leave.
