Noxville posted:By all accounts he was poo poo as Bradford West’s MP, ran pretty much the same campaign as this one then never bothered to actually do any work as an MP. They get to change their minds in 3-6 months anyway, may as well make a protest vote. Maybe it will shake labor up and ha ha ha I can't finish that sentence.

Failed Imagineer posted:Leftist stats delivers. So, lets say have a happy day and the Tories are completely destroyed, leaving the lib Dems as a opposition party. (Lets ignore these polls factor shy tory don't knows and the inevitable shift back towards them). What happens in the next election - the Lib dems gain seats? Labour splits off an actual left party of 100 or so MP's that become the official (managed opposition)?, Galloway becomes PM? I know none of this will come about, but I would love to see what the hell happens if one of the two big parties shatters, it would be an interesting few years as the dust settles. (This also ignores what living in the Starmerverse would be like.)

sebzilla posted:Lol Jeremy oval office has hosed Labour's plans by abolishing non-dom status and spending the money on tax cuts instead of the NHS. I've had a couple of people say this is why Labor have no policies. Why say something when the Tories will just steal it. It's generous, but there is probably a grain of truth there. the non-dom was the only thing Labor haven't back tracked on, and woops, there it goes. It's also unbelievably petty.

Noxville posted:Then surely it'd be really helpful to us all if they proposed a of of good policies and let the tories steal them Reveilled posted:The thing is if the Tories steal it and it's a good policy, that's good. It's only bad in a context where being in power is more important than having good policies implemented. Which I'd say is an accurate assessment of the Labor party leadership's views. I'm going to go devils advocate on this - While this would normally be true, we're 3-9 months out from a general election, so it 100% is the oppositions job to get elected by having popular policies, then once in power implement them properly and add more to them. and your opponent who is in power stealing/subverting them is a bad thing. if we were a few months after an election, then you would be 100% right. And let's be clear, this and taxing private schools are the two good policies labor have. the Tories just stole one of them for a tax break, so if Starmer want to find money for the NHS, he will have to raise taxes - something he has repeatedly said he's against. I should also make it clear, I'd rather not have Starmer's lot in power, but it's the ever repeating argument of whether or not to take the lesser evil. And I don't want to start that one again. This is just from a objective view - The oppositions job is to defeat the government, and you can't do that if everything you do is immediately countered or copied by the ones in power.

Tesseraction posted:The Graun is also saying the spectre of nationalisation is hovering over Thames Water. I've often said, we don't need to pay to nationalise any of these companies, we just hold them to account and make them do their job until they go bankrupt one by one, then renatioalise them. Bonus points for heavy fines, so they pay US for the privilege.

How many of the 50,000 "illegal immigrants" a year do they plan on packing into these planes? Or did some Tory just set up their own airline? A 737 can carry 161 passengers, call it 150 prisoners after you add some guards. Thats 333 planes - pretty much one a day. I know they hope that this is supposed to be a stick to dissuade people, but it's all performative madness.

Jel Shaker posted:bah it’s lazy analysis where they just spread the vote change across the country and assume every ward is a perfectly spherical cow, its not taking into account the weird peculiarities of uk elections It's also a media tactic to try and make the election seem closer than it most likely will be.
