There will be plenty of time for recriminations, and as a party member, Im going to give them the full barrel.Let’s just stick with corbynism then, never get elected and allow the Tories to decimate the country.
So talking about Labour moving back in some is suddenly giving up and alienating everyone and fecking the poor.What you're advocating is simply giving up. That leftists everywhere should just accept that the right won, and the only realistic options are 'not that far to the right, hunting the poor for sport is still frowned upon' or 'proper right where business owns your fecking soul'.
These are not appealing options to your average left-leaning voter. You can alienate them easily by simply giving them more neoliberalism - and frankly, that's reasonable: if you want that, you might as well vote Tory/Republican/Liberal (in Aus).
And of course a lot of it is simply urban-rural divide and generational divide. In that, demographics are against the conservatives. There should be a shift, eventually - let's hope the world can hold out until then.
Look, if the exit polls are correct, and Boris fecking Johnson achieved a historic win, then we really should forget the idea that 'reasonable centrists' appeal to people.So surely some kind of reasonable centrist is exactly what we need? With Boris and Co pulling further to the right, pulling to the left looks just as unpalatable to the electable.
You joke about it, but Tory cuts have caused deaths. Bit of weird thing to be being so daft about.The flesh of murdered innocents. I have a lamp shade made from the skin of princess Diana.
What?Just for giggles - surely we need some light relief...
A teacher asked her class how many of them were Jeremy Corbyn fans.
Not really knowing what a Jeremy Corbyn fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different...again.
Little Johnny said, 'Because I'm not a Jeremy Corbyn fan.'
The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you a Jeremy Corbyn fan?'
Johnny said, 'Because I'm a Conservative.'
The teacher asked him why he's a Conservative.
Little Johnny answered,
'Well, my Mum's a Conservative and my Dad's a Conservative, so I'm a Conservative.'
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your Mum was a moron and your Dad was an idiot, what would that make you?’
Little Johnny replied, 'A Jeremy Corbyn fan !!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50424263Where can I see these figures?
Yeah it seems a bit weird, and shows a lack of due diligence tbh. The SNP candidate became independent a couple of weeks back.Don't think it works for Scotland. I am wary of the 55 figure.
The 2017 Labour manifesto was pretty bloody moderate though. Even this years wasn't extreme left in the grand scheme of things, though I must admit to worrying that it was a bit too heavy on the spending. But the tories played that well, by promising huge spending themselves(they probably won't go through with most of it) they were able to push Labour to a point that made too many people worry about debt.My bad, I forgot you guys on here love left/right debates and see everything on those terms.
But no, I'm talking about moving back in some, not going all the way centrist. That won't work either.
I'm also not saying that's how it should be, I agree completely our politics need to change. But for that to happen, Labour need to get back in and they need to do what it takes. That's the harsh reality mate, if tonight doesn't prove that then nothing will.
No problem mate, it's not you it's just these kinds of debates go that way on here all the time. I'm already being told I'm advocating for Labour giving up and I should vote Tory. That's the level of debate faced all too often.I just genuinely thought that's what you meant, wasn't trying to be absolute about it for debate purposes.
If the rumours about the Tories looking to change the boundaries are true then it could be difficult either way.
Nothing, they'll get around it somehow.What's going to happen if the Tories win big, but Johnson loses his seat
How has that childish attitude worked out for us? You support four more years of Donald Trump's corruption, cruelty, and division if Bernie doesn't get the nomination.With what the Dems are doing we may see Trump and Johnson giving each other blowjobs.
I will caucus for Bernie March 3rd.
Wont vote for the Dem candidate if he does not get the nomination.
Agreed.Britain: You are a complete and utter disgrace
He just doesn't care about them. Simple.You joke about it, but Tory cuts have caused deaths. Bit of weird thing to be being so daft about.
Probably, which always seems a bit crazy when you look at the things they want to do to help people.Hard left was the wrong choice of words, but Corbyn is definitely seen as way too left by the electorate.
How have they? How do you measure deaths under a partys rule and quantify that? How many people died under labour leadership?You joke about it, but Tory cuts have caused deaths. Bit of weird thing to be being so daft about.
I'm reliably informed that no one on here has a fecking clue about any of it.We're reliably informed that the Tories are fecked in future.
thats a laughable strategy if you're a labour supporterNext Labour leader should carry on what Corbyn was building. No way should it become centrist again.
Someone else will stand down for himWhat's going to happen if the Tories win big, but Johnson loses his seat
You should tell that joke to some disabled people who have to deal with universal credit, they'll love it. All Tories are cnuts. Enjoy your five houses and turning down work because you'll get taxed a little bit more. Heartless cnut.Just for giggles - surely we need some light relief...

He ultimately still becomes PM, nobody really cares because the headline is a crushing Tory win.What's going to happen if the Tories win big, but Johnson loses his seat
99% Tory hold per beeb predictor.What's going to happen if the Tories win big, but Johnson loses his seat
Exit polls have him as safe. 99% chance.What's going to happen if the Tories win big, but Johnson loses his seat
We won't fight back, Tories will deliver Brexit and that will be Tories new base from now on. The old and the Brexiteers. Don't really know where the UK can go from here, Labour can go back to New Labour (puke) and attempt to recover some votes but I don't think it will make much difference. The only way Labour can get back into being competitive is if Brexit is a disaster and the Tories flog off the NHS (this imo will 100% happen now). Not straight away, but slowly using Brexit as a distraction.No problem mate, it's not you it's just these kinds of debates go that way on here all the time. I'm already being told I'm advocating for Labour giving up and I should vote Tory. That's the level of debate faced all too often.
But I'm just going with how we come back from this. The Conservatives are just going to change so much with this majority, Labour need a huge plan to fight back. I just can't get my head around people thinking everything should stay the same there, it makes no sense to me at all.
On the contrary, they set the blueprint for the current Tories. They were the prototype!If the exit poll is right Brexit party has been an utterly pointless entity..
I blame Hillary.What's wrong with you Britain?
How could you.
Can't argue with that.I'm reliably informed that no one on here has a fecking clue about any of it.
Oh I agree.Probably, which always seems a bit crazy when you look at the things they want to do to help people.
Only back New Labour because Blair did a deal with Murdoch over press freedom/accountability. Cameron did a similar deal over Leveson.The two biggest selling newspapers in England are The Sun and The Daily Mail. Am I right in thinking that The Sun has backed every single winner since the 70s and only backed New labour because of it's move to the centre?
