Off Topic General Election Special

[originallambrettaman]

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...?

That was about the vote a year ago.

 

[originallambrettaman]

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.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the point I made about both parties making this about their leaders.

 

[Obadiah]

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.

I didn't see much from Labour about the qualities of Corbyn as leader. It was usually about the policies on offer.

Only if you stop putting unfunny football references on this thread. Ta.

Only if you post your first ever post worth ****ing reading. Ta.

You don't think the Labour election campaign was centred around a brave new world under Corbyn?

Get to ****.

Well thats not true at all Obi.

I thought Labour did well to, eventually keep Abbott away from the media, and by keeping McDonnell completely away.

They made it entirely about the personality cult around Corbyn.

 

[City Man]

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

Is that more of her crazy made up stats ?

Try and stay on topic.

Take a standing count mate and let it go! It was a brave battle with corbyns million of minions but you fell short! Take it on the chin!

 

[Spook]

No, her vote share increase by 12.2%. It's because despite the ****-smearing by the media because she ****ed up in an interview and said some **** she apologised for and regretted several years ago, she's well-liked by her constituents and grew up in a working-class black family not far from the constituency she's served since 1987, instead of being an upper-middle class toff parachuted into a constituency.

Oh and did all of these lose their status as MP overnight, or were they out campaigning in this election?

I'm not particularly bothered at the result, I'm just laughing at the Tories for losing their majority after their hubris and for my local Tory MP losing his seat to Labour.

northern irish unionists inbed with a torie leader.. sounds like the 80's

[Amin Arrears]

Best we don't upset the rich, eh? Then we really would be in trouble.

Well actually, I wonder what we'd have if all the highest rate taxpayers ****ed off? And took their banks with them.

Are you talking about doing something different to pandering to their every need?

 

[Spook]

No, not really. The Tories' weak minority government will expose them in the Brexit negotiations, Corbyn will still be there with an increase in Labour MPs to rattle them and the government will fail to get **** all done in parliament. The Brexit deal will be so piss-poor people might actually start blaming the Tories instead of the European boogeyman in Brussels and the 'immigrunts takin' our jerrrbs'. All fun and games.

You sound bothered!

 

[The greengrocer]

Suppose being an anarchist you'd be against anyone in power eh?

 

[Carmine Galante.]

I liken Labour and Corbo's campaign to ours and Silvers.

Silver given no hope and told he was on a sinking ship, like Corbo.

Stabilised the ship and got into a position of hope that the unthinkable could be done.

That the rank outsiders could ,under inspired leadership, pull off a feat of truly epic proportions.

Then failed.

Unless he was aiming to come second all along.

Close but no cigar.
