ISeeCuckedPeople posted:So based on the Yougov projections the Tories will not take a majority correct? Yeah but it's probably nonsense. ISeeCuckedPeople posted:In that case is it hung? Or what percentage do you need to hold to hold power? You need 326 of the 650 MPs to be with you. If no single party has that many it's a hung parliament, meaning either another election is held or two or more parties form a coalition, combining their MPs to have 326 or higher. There's not really a lot of rules for how a coalition government works. ISeeCuckedPeople posted:Can parties make coalitions? Would the rest of the left be willing to form a coalition with Labour or is their only hope come from winning a majority outright? Yes in theory. In some ways the best possible outcome would be for the Lib Dems to prop up another party in exchange for a referendum on the final terms of brexit, as that's the only way it's even remotely feasible we get one, even if that's the most wishful of wishful thinking.

He wouldn't just say "I would do everything necessary to protect our people" and instead twisted in the wind about 'no first strikes' and didn't shut the gently caress up.

forkboy84 posted:He looked dishonest by not giving into the audience's bloodlust for hypothetical revenge? He looked dishonest because he wasn't giving an honest answer. He wouldn't use retaliatory nukes, that's obvious, but he was finding every and any other method of saying that without outright saying it. It was loving moronic and he's just given the tories and blairites everything.

Mr. Flunchy posted:Felt he acquitted himself pretty well tbh, especially considering there is literally no good answer to the nukes question. He was doing fantastically up until the nukes question and then he threw it. And there really is a good answer "I will put the safety and security of the british people before everything else".

El Grillo posted:With the nuclear thing, isn't the obvious answer to literally just point out that if we got to that stage we'd all be dead anyway, so the only relevant thing to discuss is how not to get to that point... Mutually assured destruction is a thing people understand and people don't like to be told, by a man wanting to be their leader, that 'we loving die and the fucks that killed get off scott free lol' is in any way a plan. The thing people aren't realising is how much of a get-out against voting for him Corbyn just served up. All those people possibly considering Labour because their kids are eloquently arguing for him? loving lost, because 'got to keep my family safe, they'll understand one day' just overwrote housing, living standards, secure employment and every other, actually relevant, issue that their children will have to face. 100% truth here, late afternoon today I went out with my dad and my dog to a corner where local Labour people met us and we went canvassing for a few hours and I feel like a mug for doing it if Corbs is going to throw the loving election like that. How dare he take the position of the one person who can stop May and pull that shite.

jabby posted:Am I disappointed he didn't answer it better? Sure, but I also know there's no way on Earth I could go up against an audience that hostile on national TV and not have a full-on breakdown, so I'm willing to cut him a little bit of slack. Personally I thought after the Trident section he could easily have gone to pieces, but he pulled it back rather well. The audience wasn't hostile until he hosed up. The first half he was absolutely fantastic .

OwlFancier posted:I have a suspicion that people obsessed with nuking other countries and not satisfied with an unwillingness to do so might be hostile to noted nuke-averse Jeremy Corbyn. For the first half he was eloquent, passionate and on a whole other level than May in terms of the depth, specificity and nuance of his answers. Even if someone was hostile they weren't able to express it because he had the room onside and the questions were flowing so smoothly. Then he hosed it up.

OwlFancier posted:I did say I would prefer him to categorically and bluntly state that he wouldn't nuke anybody but I suspect you wouldn't be any happier with that answer I think we should have nukes and that our leaders should posture that they'll use them but actually write 'let france or some other ally decide' on that little letter/not make a retaliatory strike but honestly your answer there would have been better. At least then he could have moved on instead of wittering dishonestly on for 5 minutes getting visibly pissed off with the audience and poisoning the rest of the debate.

Entropy238 posted:When I feel strongly about a candidate (e.g. Corbyn) the wins feel great but there's always the temptation to wallow and doomsay when they slip up a bit. TBH I shouldn't have tried to quit smoking at an election cause I just had a cheeky one in the garden and have absolutely been doing this. namesake posted:Isn't that actually worse? Not just refusing to make a decision but passing it off onto someone else? It's the ambiguity of it that I think is important. Outright saying you won't ever use one means it doesn't work for MAD anymore. Liu posted:i think it's just because media has such a right wing slant that you kinda have to play it perfectly while may and tory scum can pretty much just do whatever and have excuses made for them. Mr. Flunchy posted:It's not really Corbz' responses that're getting me down, just realising/remembering that these selfish, bloodthirsty morons are everywhere. This is what made me so angry. It's the combination of how May could just not say anything and it's fine, the right-wing press and their power, the braying jackals in the audience, my perception of how much tougher Dimbleby seemed to be on Corbs than May and the unforced error over something so irrelevant as the nukes spoiling what was looking like an amazing display from Corbyn.

Flayer posted:I live in London and so do my family. My sister was locked down during the Westminster attack and earlier this evening my girlfriend and I passed through London Bridge. We often shop in Borough Market, we've eaten in Brindisa, we've been to Katzenjammer. There is a very real possibility that people I know and love could be the victims of Islamic terror. You're a disgusting individual telling us that we are we are more of a danger to ourselves than these monsters are. Calm down, statistically you a member of the british public are more likely to be self-harmed by mental health issues than harmed by terrorism, not to mention that there's mental health issues overlap with lots of the people that commit these mass murders.

Done a democracy, gave the old lady across the road a lift so she could vote red too! If anyones curious it was the combo of our local tory MP voting against gay rights and May cutting police numbers that swung her, and I like to think my badgering helped too. Now I'm staring at 90 boring PDFs that need amending before I gently caress off for the afternoon to Get Out The Vote. I'm feeling the hope and it's terrible.

Guys remember if a tory activist comes and talks to you today, take up their time. It's satisfying to tell them to shove it up they arse, and if you're in a rush go for it, but better is to be like "oh look at that! the family are just on whatsapp now, we're deciding who to vote for, it's a bit confusing this election, do you want a cup of tea?" Keep them there for as long as possible, play dumb, then at the end tell them you're definitely going to vote tory to mess up their numbers.

AttitudeAdjuster posted:So I registered 10 days before the deadline but never received a polling card. You can vote without a polling card, and don't need ID either but it can't hurt to bring one. The issue is that if you never got your card, you won't know which polling station you are registered at. Go here https://www.yourvotematters.co.uk/ and enter your postcode to find that out.

If Bambos takes out Burrows in Enfield Southgate I might cry. He had a 3-4000 strong win last go round, almost always been Tory, and my dad and I have been out campaigning there. If we've done it that will be so, so fantastic.
