I strongly disagree, it is now, and always. You don't pack it in because you either won or lost.

Sure, but if they replace Corbyn with anyone to his right I ain't voting for 'em.

That seems self defeating.

Labour, as a party, has acted in such a way that I do not trust that it will accommodate the left should Corbyn be replaced. I do not trust that they will continue to advocate in a way that is worth my support. To a point - if losing Corbyn will bring the support of the moderate labour voters who have been driven out back then my vote will hardly be missed.

unless like 300,000 lefties leave the labour party or the PLP manages to stop people voting for the leadership I don't think the labour right is taking control of the leadership anytime soon

Its a matter of messaging. Milliband was 'the left' in 2015 and I voted Labour then but wouldn't now.

I'm asking if you'd still vote Labour if Stephen Kinnock was your MP

Would depend on whose leading the labour party at the time.

Corbyn's been hampered by years of infighting and smear campaigns from centrists within Labour. I don't think we can exactly say he was given a fair shout by a lot of the PLP.

Which is why I have changed my Labour voting stance. Back under Mills it was vote labour because the conservatives and libs are bastards, unify at all costs.

Not doing that again when its so clearly one sided.

why do centrists always post like this

Chuka Umana's posts always reek of 'the left needs to mollify the moderates' and i'm stating that bringing those moderates in will result in some leftists saying gently caress it - and I am one of them.

If that makes me a centrist I don't particularly care. Voting won't solve anything on this hell island anyway.

Have you thought of voting for the MP that best represents your views, within your constituency, rather than pretending it’s a presidential election?

Its a democracy, I get to vote however I feel for whatever reason I like. The loving moon told me that its Corbyn or leftier and who am I to object to a celestial body?

I mean, yes you get to vote however, just as you technically can choose to play a shooter by only moving, not aiming with the other stick. It’s valid input, but it’s not how the system is actually meant to work, and is the least useful thing to do for your constituency.

Well I mean it is possible that the leader of a political party has a significant input on what the party will do with power and I choose to use the leader as a proxy to determine whether it is worth the effort to vote.

Meant to work, what absolute bullshit. Democracy isn't meant to work. It's meant to prevent us from putting heads on blocks, and it does that job just fine (atm) regardless of how we choose our votes.

poo poo man, we're in an election period. It's better to answer bad faith questions with good faith answers than to tell people to get hosed, even if just for the prospect of changing a lurkers mind and not projecting a "hard left are just as bad as the fascists" image, even if it'll do nothing to change the OP's opinion.

I believe referring to Dianne Abbott as an incompetent dicksplash is vile and should not be entertained by the posters of this thread. And the posters making good faith replies are welcome to.

Telling me not to tell the poster to gently caress off? No and gently caress you thirdly.

No poll matters. If you allow a poll to demoralize you then it is doing its job.

Yeah, whats the loving point of it all?

The polls are the polls and the vote is the vote and it will go how it goes.

Do your election poo poo, ignore the people who want Labour to lose.

If a conservative government happens again (enough to pass brexit) then whinging about the polls now isn't going to loving stop it.

That explains why I saw a petition on Facebook asking Labour to step aside in that constituency. If those numbers are real I wouldn't totally be against it - lib dems are tories but they may be slightly less awful tories than Raab.

Strategic voting is a poison that rots the core of our country.

Those labour voters aren't owed to the piss dems.

The most important thing isn't stopping the conservatives, it's electing good people - If you wear yellow on your coat you have piss in your heart.
