Dravs posted:I'm honestly fine with people voting Lib Dems if that's what they want. At least they aren't outwardly fascists like the other 2 parties on the right at the moment. While they don't have plans to re-nationalise anything, at least they will not privatise the NHS any more than it already is, unlike what the Tories have got planned. They totally will though. They'll get a 2025 plastic bag ban for it, so it is impossible to say whether it is bad or not.

But what if there is only one skill in all the wallets?

Gripweed posted:Is there a chance that maybe the exit polls were faked in order to make a potential Corbyn victory look like voter fraud? If they fake the exit poll they'll have figured out a way to stuff the ballot boxes with fakes. If you're going for a coup there would have been initial allegations of Labour vote fraud.

Svensken posted:So it seems like the LibDems and Labour split the votes which handed the Tories a bunch of districts. Would Labour have had a shot if the Parliamentary seats were distributed by popular vote rather than by constituency? I think Labour, LibDem and Scots would have a slight majority if the numbers are final. The LibDems of course would join Boris.

Gripweed posted:I'm slightly annoyed to just find out now that Corbyn was the least popular opposition leader in decades. Up to the election all I heard was that the Tories and the BBC were so desperate all they could do was spin up the antisemitism smear, this was gonna be really close, he might do it, whatever the gently caress "Dinner Boy going to eat his eggs" meant. And then Corbyn eats poo poo, historically eats poo poo, eats poo poo to the point that yesterday's election will be used as a reference point for eating poo poo in future elections. And then suddenly oh yeah it turns out everyone in Britain hated Corbyn because he was a boring vegetarian substitute teacher. I mean, all the polls were posted in the thread? And how many Brit people over 50 post in C-Spam, do you think?

hakimashou posted:Putting to one side jeremy corbyn's other merits or failings, does anyone really still think that ""Constructive"""" ambiguity on brexit, or whatever stupid name they were calling it, was a good idea? Don't think they were calling it anything? The old position was we'll do Brexit without the implied ethnic cleansing. Then the LibDems surged in the EU elections and the PLP got spooked/ saw a chance to get rid of Corbyn and pushed for a Remain position (supported by the membership, because they hate the idea of Brexit). They got it and now everyone dies.

therattle posted:It’s partly a matter of opinion, so it’s hard to prove either way. That said, voter polling strongly suggests that the reason people turned away from Labour was leadership, then some way behind, Brexit. That’s not an opinion, that’s fact. I do insist on making statements that can be at least partly backed up by stats. Telling me to gently caress off doesn’t change the numbers. I posted them before and I am sure I can find them again, if needed. What you keep willfully ignoring is that the exact same leadership got a vastly better result in 2017 with broadly the same policies and campaign in in the face of the same right-wing smear campaign. It didn't stick then. The only thing that changed is the Brexit position and the Tories' categorical refusal to discuss any policy. Of course the Leadership looks shifty if they change their position on the one thing that dominates all news coverage.

AnoHito posted:Why would someone vote for a compromise when there are parties running on the position they'd prefer outright? That's not quite what was going on here since the policy is decided at conference by the membership. The old Labour position, pushed by Corbyn was to do a Brexit, but keep most everything the same, so they can say they respected the referendum while making everything only slightly worse. But the party members always hated the whole thing and only the 60+ demographic was really into it. For the parliamentary Labour party it was always mainly a stick to beat the Leadership with. So after the LibDems made gains in the EU elections the balance of power shifted and Labour switched to what used to be the remain position. Of course, since basically everyone here is dealing in bad faith the LibDems then switched to outright cancellation, but not really, as the only real Remain position, as usually pushed by the "liberal" media and Labour MPs. So now Corbyn gets to defend a policy he doesn't believe in while everyone calls him a traitor, the Brexit party acts as the conservative front organization it is and only runs in Labour seats, the LibDems and the Greens do a tactical remain alliance that does nothing except hand the Tories a few more seats and Labour MPs he has compromised with for years to keep them on board resigne because of "anti-semetism".

thotsky posted:Corbyn was systematically denied opportunities to speak about Labour's manifesto, which had worked well for him in the last election. I believe that is the number one reason they lost. The main thing Corbyn really should have done with hindsight is open the selection for MP seats. Trying to keep the PLP on board failed miserably.
