Darth Walrus posted:Bit scary that Labour would apparently have to eat the entire Lib Dem vote to get level with the Tories. 2 points fewer than before, no need to read much more into it than that as it's all based on predicted turnouts and demos.

The front pages seem to be either complaining that the debate was dull or touting the snap yougov poll 52/48 as a ‘big win’ for Boris so it’s pretty clear they didn’t get much they wanted out of it. Got to be happy with that.

Don’t worry everyone, when Brexit goes inevitably badly the press will finally come around and blame... labour for not stopping it.

Scotland's gone. The tories will hold them hostage refusing to grant indyref until they lose power and then any lab gov will have to grant the snp one to get a majority. after that much winding up there's zero chance they don't bolt at the first opportunity.

Bundy posted:This is easy to point and laugh at but our politics is weird. You'd be surprised how many people hold their local MP responsible for stuff even if problems are as a result of Westminster cutting funds to non Tory held seats. This again seems to be a messaging problem from Labour along with the historic "Labour as well" neglect mentioned earlier. Running a defensive campaign when you’re not in power is also a stupid thing to do. A Tory majority of 20 or 80 isn’t really much different for us now.

ronya posted:in retrospect, if the thesis is now "it was Brexit wot lost it", then the answer should have been "push for a second referendum first to get the debilitating culture war out of the way, then the general election" rather than "general election first at any cost" Big assumption that there were ever the numbers in parliament for a specific 2nd ref setup to get through all while Boris tries to collapse parliament or force his deal
