Post Match Thread: Election 2017

[The perfect fumble]

With you being a self-proclaimed "paper millionaire", I'm calling pot and kettle.

In a socialist nirvana we'd all be millionaires.

You're non too sharp, yourself!

You should know how shit a manifesto is, if you let your party members know about it, in the first place!!

Knowing your manifesto is shit, after the fact, kind of leaves you in a 'dead duck' situation...

Oh look...

Changing a manifesto is the best thing a party can do when they realise it's shite.

The fact you don't get that doesn't surprise me. You are what you are.

I think the Tories were attempting to use their huge poll lead (and predicted large majority) to push through a fair few ideologically driven, shite policies.

This pissed off enough people for them to fail to win a majority at all, let alone a large one.

Changing the manifesto to remove the ideological crap is both good for the electorate (as they get a more centrist option) and the party (as they stand a good chance of a majority) as SWP said.

I mean fox hunting FFS.

Well explained, cheers.

There weren't too many centrists thrilled with the manifesto.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Promise him someone else's fish and he votes Labour

Definitely. Plenty of reluctant Tory voters and people who abstained that probably expected to vote Tory when the election was called, before the manifesto was announced.
