Regarde Aduck posted:We have to accept that some factor has made the elderly in the country, side with the conservatives despite all factors. Nothing will stop them voting Tory. Why? Who the gently caress knows? I get the impression a lot of them are deeply unhappy and we have a politics of spite issue. Consider the timeline. These are people who reached political maturity during the Sixties and (especially) the Seventies, and were old and secure enough that the North Sea oil boom under Thatcher resulted in a major quality-of-life improvement. Now Also remember that the blame for the economic decline of the Seventies was squarely placed on Labour for being too nice to workers, with nary a historical mention of the insane national suicide note that was the Conservatives' 1972 budget. Their most important political memories are of a time period that the Tories own the national narrative on. That's difficult to overcome.

Michael Crick is saying on Channel 4 news Corbyn is going to start a tour visiting the 60 seats he says that Labour needs to win in the next election. Very good idea, given how well he goes over in public and given the next election is likely under a year away.

Lord of the Llamas posted:How does the FT have such low turnout? It's a financial Liberal paper. Corbyn, while endorsed by a majority of economists and what's written in their paper, is harshly opposed by the FT editorial team. And May was shite. Much like how The Sun was viciously anti Corbyn in the face of their mostly working class readership. At the end of the day they didn't want Corbyn but they weren't enthusiastic about May, so many didn't bother to vote. It's also why we shouldn't rest on our laurels in case the Tories manage to get someone halfway human in.

Very good idea, given how well he goes over in public and given the next election is likely under a year away. Also he seems to performing best when he's campaigning, so keeping him in campaign mode throughout this parliament seems like the best idea. I really like his PR team now, I honestly think that change was massive for him and the party.

Skinty McEdger posted:It's circulation is really comparatively low. Doesn't explain why a (statistically significant) smaller proportion of its readers voted than any other broadsheet. It's down there with the Mirror. Gonzo McFee posted:It's a financial Liberal paper. Corbyn, while endorsed by a majority of economists and what's written in their paper, is harshly opposed by the FT editorial team. And May was shite. I'd understand if it had a stronger showing for the liberals or whatever. But that FT readers are not more likely to vote than the nation as a whole? Maybe there's a confounding factor they didn't control for like "are you a foreign banker who isn't allowed to vote".

mediadave posted:Considering that a week ago an eternity of Tory government seemed likely, I'm not going to rush to declaring their death quite yet. Difference is that the dems were (and are) dumb af and took that poo poo for granted whereas Corbs & his team busted their asses to win over the youngs.

Diamond hard Tess May brexit that moves the City into the continent, utter disaster, Corbyn, obviously not great from their perspective either. Quite a lot of young people and Londoners read it which explains the fifty-fifty split on how they voted, though.

You forget the OPEC crisis. Inflation was at 10 or 20 percent for a long time in the early 70s. That is what caused workers unrest and strikes. Pay did not keep up with prices.

General China posted:You forget the OPEC crisis. Inflation was at 10 or 20 percent for a long time in the early 70s. Labour causes every international crisis of capitalism don't you know? This is the thesis of some Italian socialism whose name I forget, that it is working class organisation and activity which drives the capitalist class to constantly develop the means of production as a reaction to their advances, rather than the other way around. I don't buy it but it's fun to hope for.
