I still don't understand why the Labourists elected Wallace as their leader after the previous elections. I mean, even Gordon Brown was leagues above Ed "Bacon Sandwich" Miliband in terms of charisma, experience and overall credibility.

The tories won second reading of the Trade Union Bill which would cripple the power of unions in the uk for years to come. But the battle isn't over yet and Corbyn is a man of the people so fingers crossed it'll get nay'ed the gently caress outta town. https://www.tuc.org.uk/union-issues/trade-union-bill/campaign-against-trade-union-bill-far-over-says-tuc

You guys have a much lower population density and a much stricter immigration policy. Outside of places like New York and SF, you generally have much more space to live and work. Also, it's easier to just get away from people.

Today the telegraph continued its descent into being a tabloid shitrag by denouncing all the shadow cabinet as lunatics and nutjobs before claiming corbyn wants to sell the nukes to Russia. RIP. Also the latest Tory scare video literally comes off as something made by Putin to denounce the west, it's absolutely insane.

Lol at these morons still hating on Blair as if it was still 2007. Yeah Iraq was a total gently caress up, but let's remember New Labour: - Introduced the minimum wage - Introduced the Human Rights Act - Introduced the Freedom of Information Act - Reduced unemployment to record low figures - Massively increased funding to public services which resulted in more doctors, nurses, and teachers etc per person - Banned fox hunting - Scrapped the majority of hereditary peers in the House of Lords - Introduced devolution so that Wales and Scotland had more say over how they were run - Massively reduced child poverty - Signed the Good Friday peace agreement with the IRA leading to 18 years of relative peace (though it may be coming undone now no fault of those at the time) - And let's not forget locked the Tories out of government for 13 years But you know, ignore all those things and call him a Tory because of Iraq and tuition fees. What a right wing bastard he was!

Also lol at whoever said they would prefer an unelectable left wing party than Tory lite. You're literally saying you'd rather live the rest of your life under the party who is scrapping the human rights act, letting people die in order to save money on benefits bills, and legislating trade unions to the point they are illegal rather than acknowledge the left needs to acquire the votes of the centre ground to win elections in this country.

Also ignore the whole tory policies are literally tearing the social fabric of this country apart thing.

In the CaNaDa thread someone posted about how jobless and soon to be jobless rig pigs are blaming the provincial NDP government for the price of oil dropping even though it started almost a year before they got into office What I'm saying is people are dumb as poo poo and believe in a Socialism Boogeyman because the only time they engage in political discussion is when their supervisor regurgitates talking points from his boss about how their working conditions are getting worse

Firstly Labour was not Tory lite in the last election, it had a lot of relatively left wing policies. It proposed capping energy bills, banning right to buy mortgages, increase the top rate of tax, tax properties worth over £2m, ban zero hours contracts, raise the minimum wage, crack down on tax evasion and avoidance, repealing the bedroom tax, and ending privatisation in the NHS. If you think these aren't left wing policies I'm not really sure what to say. So the idea that Labour had all these Tory lite policies in the last election is wrong. What they DID do is capitulate to the Tories on some keys issues such as immigration. Instead of doing what a successful party would have done, which is challenge to Tory rhetoric on immigration like Yvette Cooper did when she called Cameron a coward for not accepting more refugees, they just agreed and went along with it. In terms of the economy even Corbyn has said he wants to eliminate the deficit, he just wants to do it with massively left wing policies. Labour said it wanted to do it with center left/left wing policies too, and they didn't get elected. In terms of Scotland you really are mad if you think that could have gone any differently. The SNP played the three main parties like a fiddle during the Scottish referendum and they backed the government into an unwinnable position. On top of that because the polls looked so close, the SNP went around saying the best way for the Scots to influence UK policy was to be in a Labour/SNP coalition which failed to materialise because Labour didn't win enough ENGLISH seats. Even if Labour won every single SNP seat in Scotland, it still would have been the opposition. Now the Scots have realised that Scotland gets more ridiculous deals like the Barnett formula being safeguarded the more the SNP are in control, why would they vote for anyone else? Labour being left wing won't bring back many more SNP seats, but it will probably mean it loses English ones and Nicolas Sturgeon has already said if Labour can't win elections, then independent Scotland is the only choice for those not wanting to live under perpetual Tory rule. They are already planning a second referendum, which they will probably win. Your point about losing votes to the greens is pretty funny, because how many seats did Labour lose to the Greens again? Oh yeah none, because the FPP system doesn't give a poo poo if you get loads of votes nationwide, you need to get them in the right seats. UKIP is a great example of this, 15% of the popular vote and 2 seats. So who cares if Labour lost hard left votes to the Greens when that's so spread out it doesn't effect election results. The hard left is a minority in this country and always will be. So yeah the idea Labour lost because they are Tory lite and the idea that Scotland is something we can win back are daft ideas. Scotland is lost to the nationalists now, there's no way of getting it back. No one in any of those English marginals voted Tory instead of Labour because Labour wasn't left wing enough. They voted Tory because they weren't confident in Labour's economic plans, they were concerned about the SNP having an influence over UK policy, and because Labour had allowed the Tory party to dominate the public debate meaning they either had to agree with Tory policy or be branded clueless by the media (which is then believed by the public). Corbyn isn't going to win an election, he's going to ensure the Tories get at least another 5 years of loving the British people over.
