    People don't vote for their local MP's they vote for the prime minister.

    And why would they do that?

    Corbers has the momentum, he could actually win an election if there was another one later in the year.

    Can't see it happening.

    You mean after all the 'Corbyn terrorist sympathiser' innuendo that's been put out by the Tory aligned media it's a surprise to find her aligned with a terrorist organisation?

    Well, to some maybe, but others realised right from the start that she was in it for the power.

    That's why there'll be another election. It's not fair that Theresa May gets to carry on when everyone clearly supports Corbz a lot more.

    And Labour's campaign wasn't all about Corbyn? <doh>

    No it was about pissing off the rich, because they don't deserve to be rich unless I am too.

    Who said anything about actual votes? The national insurance increase for the self-employed was dropped without a vote within days of it being announced.

    No it was about free university education, investment in the NHS, more council housing. more policing, a living wage, taxing the wealthy and a host of other things. People who voted Labour did so in the main for these policies believing Corbyn would deliver them.

    But that played in Labour's favour as he's popular amongst the young who actually turned out in droves to vote this time and won significant seats, it didn't play in the Conservatives' favour as they've lost their majority despite predictions they'd win a massive one and May's been exposed as a piss-weak leader.

    Nope. Lots of local candidates distanced themselves, actively not mentioning or referencing him when campaigning and door knocking. Who was it mentioning yesterday that half their MPs weren't behind him...?

    Exactly what I said.

    Both parties made this all about the leaders, the comment was about whether people voted for the Prime Minister they wanted, or just the local MP they wanted, **** all to do with policies.

    She increased her vote share in her constituency by 11,000 votes despite the ****-smearing so yeah, why not?
