This is democracy in Britain today. I look forward to seeing the other scummy rag trying to beat it.

If he wasn't in charge the labour party would be in with a strong shout tomorrow. He's made his own party unelectable
 
I've been sitting thinking about Corbyn and the journey he has been in these last couple of years. I look at the right wing press from day one, setting out to create an image of the man that was one of weakness, mad lefty, terrorist loving, scruffy.

That he couldn't be trusted with the economy, that he was bad for business. The fact that he didn't want to incinerate millions of innocent people by firing nuclear weapons, was seen as a failing.

A failing to admit that destroying the lives of millions was not something to take lightly.

He knows that the people who sent them to us, would be safe from our retaliation and it would be the people who died. Instead he wanted to talk, to search for ways to avoid war, to save the lives of our forces from wars for financial gain and oil.

It is with a historical perspective that we see what he said was right. The wars in the Middle East have been an unmitigated disaster and have unleashed Islamic terrorism and given those who wish to promote it, the ammunition they need to point to western interference and exploitation.

Again in relation to Ireland, he realised that the only way that centuries old conflict would be ended was when both sides sat down and talked. If those events hadn't happened, then we might still be watching our nightly news to keep up with the killings. Who wants that? After every war that has ever been people sit down and do stuff they said they would never do and many people die because of that intransigence.

Fast forward again and we see this 'weak' man face down this hostility. Face down and defeat Red Tories in his own party, emboldened by the media to bring him down. He stood firm.

Compare that to May who folded when she faced a u turn in robbing pensioners.

The media have done their worst and headlines today from the two scum bucket publications, show they are not yet finished with disgraceful
headlines.

The perception of Corbyn has been shaped in the public mind as all the negatives they have poured onto him. Now that he is out there speaking to the people, that perception is changing.

The thing to remember is he was always like that. It was people believing the character assassination
of the right wing press that was wrong.

He has emerged from all this with his dignity in check. The gap has closed a great deal and that is down to him. It may not be enough, but for me Corbyn has shown himself to be as strong as a lion to endure all those strings and arrows of outrageous fortune and has beaten them.

Whatever happens he is going nowhere and those traitors in the Labour Party who have tried to bring him down now know, they are the ones out of step and can take their Tory hearts and go fuck themselves.

You gave it a right go Jeremy, you have great resilience and yes strength. I hope you get the reward tomorrow and all those opposed to this Tory shower of cunts have enough seats to send the Tories out of office and Mayday Mayday down to the Job Centre.

Well done, you've got balls of steel.

He has single handedly revived Labour. He has got the electorate believing again and he has led one of the greatest campaigns of this generation. I only wish he was 48 and not 68.

Great post magic never a truer word spoken
 
I think this has been a thoroughly depressing election through the lack of a centrist party. I'm no rabid right winger but I'm feeling forced to vote Conservative because I don't believe Labour's costings (which is utterly vital when they want to spend so much) and I want the UK to leave the EU, ruling out the Lib Dems.

I'd love a party offering the Conservative Brexit and Labour spending, afforded by the Lib Dem tax rises.

I know, if I wanted to be in the cool caring intelligentia of the left and popular, you don't admit to voting Tory!!! I may do on here but I keep quiet elsewhere As I would be getting total abuse. They have not learnt shouting people down isn't a compelling argument to get people to agree with them.

Fair play to Corbyn though he has run a good election whatever the result,

Agree entirely with your final point. He is the most charismatic and communicative leader LABOUR has had, probably since Smith. It's just a shame his beliefs and policies are so crap and that he surrounds himself with shysters.

I thought that when the election was announced

However, given the Tories arrogance, their austerity record, May's general contempt for debating and, to top it all 'change Human Rights legislation'. What the fuck!

She spoke about the 'Brexit Election', yet no one is really any clearer on what to expect (I voted leave). She also seems to have a aversion to criticising Trump e.g climate change and Sadik Khan Tweets

Then, on top of all that, I thought about 5 more years of the Conservative Party in government......

Recent events have left people frightened and nothing he has said has led people to trust him. The tories have used but also addressed voters fears in the last week and that's what will win the election for them.
It's very sad imo.
 
I can honestly say I hate & despise the tories more than Man United. Aneurin Bevin was bang on back in 1940 something or other when he described them as lower than vermin.

Listen to yourself.

A bloke comes along and tells you he'll fix everything., having never actually delivered on ANYTHING in his entire life. And he tells you he'll miraculously transform the country without charging 95% of people a penny more.

And you buy it hook line and sinker? Deary deary me.

Mate, you've forfeited any right to question some one else's judgement. You've been played, simple as. Wake up and smell the cold, stale coffee. Somehow I doubt you will.

Thatcher was a housewife before she became an MP.
