General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Mike D]

We'll see. Corbyn's standing has plummeted in large part because he's being seen as an opportunistic chancer. (Funny that). Someone who sits on the fence, fails to take any sort of leadership stance in reality, but who simply moans about everything all the time and who ultimately fails to stand up and be counted. Essentially what he's been doing for the past 40 years.

Denying a GE when the country desperately wants closure and with the perception that he's doing it for political expediency (yet again) will be pounced upon by the media and do his ratings even further harm. Faced with this, I think he may agree to an October GE. He's a Brexit supporter and doesn't actually want us to remain.

Incidentally, that brings me on to another amusing point: Labour can't even decide what they would campaign for in a referendum. So they win, they negotiate a good deal with the EU and then call for a confirmatory referendum and John Healey was on the TV last night unable to say whether they would campaign in the referendum for it or not. Hahahahahahaha.

Or you could say they have played a blinder letting the tories own Brexit and being unable to deliver it, and leading them to become a white nationalist party.

Oh ffs how bloody tiresome are your jpegs.

 

[The perfect fumble]

this, to people of similar advancing years to myself, is astonishing, so much so that I may need to re-evaluate my remain position

A position is not wrong by dint of the people who support it.

Stupid boy!

As a matter of interest, why do think this? (Genuine question, I am not saying you're wrong)

Targetting their resources - a better comparison than 1983 by the poster I was replying to would have been 2001 when the LDs got 18.3% share of the vote (similar to their current poll ratings) but won 52 seats compared to 25% and 23 seats in 1983.

Edit: 2001 not 2005.

Stupid boy!

Yawn. Coming from a fossil like you I suppose it is ironically amusing.

I didn't, I said he was to the right of me. hence I am to the left of him.

And he is very left so you must have fallen off the scale

 

[abu13]

Yes so you decide what’s more important to you. Brexit or your political beliefs for five years.

Hence me probably voting for a PM I don’t want as opposed to leaving the EU.

It certainly fucked up isn't it.

"You've been saying nasty things about Comrade Corbyn, your name is also going in the book, what is it?"
