Who could they elect as a leader who could win though? I had high hopes for Chuka but he turned out to be a massive fanny who didn't like the papers writing stuff about his family which is even more laughable considering all the shit Corbyn has had to deal with from the media. I don't see the next Blair (in terms of popularity when he was voted) anywhere in the party so I'll settle for Corbyn rattling a few cages, taking on the press and being a proper opposition leader until they do find someone who could win.

To be fair Corbyn earned a higher percentage of the vote than Blair did in 2005 and almost the same as him in 2001. So the numbers are there, if Sturgeon wasn't so adamant on Indyref2, Labour would have had a chance of getting in. I think it bodes well for the next election be it in a few months or years, well we can all hope.

Stability has also become the new Strong and Stable, in other words:

Everything you say I agree with, apart from the "maybe". It would be *impossible* for them to run a worse campaign than this time, wouldn't it? I mean, seriously, I cannot actually imagine how they could do it worse. You could write a book based on this fiasco, entitled, "How to try to lose an election from an unassailable position". If a cock-up was possible at any juncture, they grasped it. They left no stone unturned in being as shit as is humanly possible.

But I also believe the press attacks on Corbyn are now a busted flush... they have thrown what they can and surely no more skeletons to drag out and flog to death. Next time those attacks begin to look puerile. Perhaps, just perhaps, a true left of centre agenda is now the best alternative to engage the 3 out of 100 voters Labour now need to swing?

God she is a tedious fucker. She should be apologising for wasting everyone's time and energy. No need for the election, she fucked it up and she should be nowhere near forming another government. The Tories have created this mess and they should sort it out. But with another leader as this one is not fit for purpose.
 
The tories haven't refered to themselves as the conservative and unionist party for decades, now may has had to revive the use of it's full name.

Sturgeon has caused the cons to still have this chance to govern, with her indy2 obsession turning seats blue. Those 12 seats won have given May a lifeline.

A lot of Tory MPs unhappy about associating with the DUP a party whose candidates were endorsed by a loyalist umbrella group which represents the UDA.
Chief concern is that the DUP will extract concessions from May regarding local Northern Ireland issues which might just upset Sinn Fein a bit. This could destabilize the Nortern Ireland peace already under strain after Brexit and the collapse of the assembly a few months back.
PS they are also anti same sex marriage,anti abortion, formerly climate change deniers and pro creationists.

Match made in heaven len. Didnt realise they are so backward, cant see them reigning long.
 
Ironic that Scottish tories saved the party led by an openly gay leader who is engaged to her partner and the party now turn to the anti gay DUP to keep it in power...
 
I gots to tell you, all over the place this DUP malarky is a PR disaster for the Tories.

Does this change anything for Tory voters on here?

Interested to see whether she speaks up about it, times like this when you should forget your allegiances and stand for what you believe in.
