I don't care what any of you say, Corbyn was awful his first year and it wasn't entirely the PLP's fault they wouldn't back him. He was a long term backbench rebel MP who was thrust into a job he didn't particularly want and whose demands he didn't know how to meet. But now that he has clearly hit his stride and grown into the role, I can certainly see the case that Corbyn might actually be the loving boy

I really have no belief at all that May isn't going to form the next government. But another GE in six months could be a pretty foregone conclusion for Labour, providing they can keep up the power they have now and everyone keeps on being fairly pissed off at May. The whole country has turned on her in the last week, strong and stable is 100% hosed so it my depend on what their next idea is.

I've voted in three constituencies in my life and I've never had to queue more than maybe three people in front of me, once or twice when they can't find someone on the list or something. For this GE, the EU referendum, the Scottish independence vote and the 2015 GE I've literally walked straight up to get my ballot paper each time. After work, between 6ish and 9ish each time.

Unless it's massively different in rural constituencies or something then I don't see getting the time off to vote to be a big problem that needs to be fixed.

Students always vote though, they're not the "young people" that are getting referred to in the voter turnout conversation as far as I understand.

Are UKIP done? I reckon they're probably done. They'll take huge, fatal losses at the next local elections and then we'll hear in three years that nobody bothered to renew their party registration or something.

That would mean having to put up with that insufferable prick, John Oliver, though.
Go on let's hear it, why is he History's Greatest Monster?

Well, the press are keen to still give Nigel airtime, even if they won't give it to anyone else in the party. I imagine it'll depend on how Brexit negotiations go. The harder the Brexit the more pointless UKIP become. Though there will always be xenophobic cunts blaming the problems of the country on immigrants instead of focusing on the class based nature of the causes.
I think "Nigel Farage the politician" and "UKIP" are sufficiently different public concepts now that he'll go on without them. He'll be the favourite talking head gadfly guy getting interviewed about whatever but won't be standing for any seats. 50/50 he'll be on I'm a Celebrity next year and fall into a Piers Morgan-y, indefineable, "public figure" role.

Edit: he'll dial down on a lot of stuff too so they'll have him back on HIGNFY. Because here's my hot take - Nigel Farage is despicable but is *not* actually a racist.
