'Flaps is definitely roleplay-posting as my dad ITT Except my dad will pony up and still vote Labour if he knows what's good for him Corbs and McDonna are two grumpy old men who will either have to luck into victory or incidentally get voted in on the back of a strong grassroots Labour campaign and lowering Tory support, as much as I liked Corb in the campaign he's quite laughable as a public figure and him and John are going down a checklist of "things I hope they don't do" and ticking them all off. However, for the first time in decades there is a genuinely leftist alternative to vote for that may not be perfect or even particularly good but anyone paying a modicum of attention for the last 20 years knows is a step in the right direction YEARS earlier than could have been expected. And all you need to do is cast a vote and say at the very least people are willing to vote for this. Ditching the labour party as soon as they actually start lurching drunkenly back to their roots is so loving Liberals.txt. I think maybe its not trendy to play videogames in this thread? But as a useless analogy that occurs to me: Dark Souls 1 on PC was a garbage port and everyone knew it, I still bought it though because I wanted the sequels to come to PC with more effort. Now just 4 years later Dark Souls 3 is a simultaneous release on PC. If we just don't stop voting at literally one of the few moments that matters, Jeremy Corbyn III will be elected in 2030 with drop-in-drop-out co-op. I rest my case, thank you.

Tim Farron and Michael Gove should have some kind of competition to decide who looks most like a baby in a suit.

Boing posted:I have Jewish family friends who say they'd never consider voting for Corbyn because he's massively anti-Israel, which caught me off guard too because I'd never heard that before. There were two moments listening to the leadership hustings before Corbyn smashed it that made me think "uh oh". One of them was a question Corbyn answered where he talked about Israel and he kept saying over and over "they will rue the day, rue the day!" he was talking about their actions would come back to bite them but he sounded like an old lunatic. Incidentally the second "uh oh" was when people asked him how'd he'd counter the negative media and he said "nobody listens to them anyway"

Paxman posted:Nicky Morgan on Question Time seemed to hint Osborne would do a u-turn on disability cuts. Just one day after the Budget they're having to change it because their own MPs are worried about being seen to hit disabled people. Was just about to post that he will U-turn on the really terrible stuff and call it listening to people, he's done it like every budget and its a basic bitch tactic when presenting stuff to people and tricking them into feeling involved. I genuinely think the main problem in PR for this budget was the sugary drinks stuff cause even the poo poo papers can make funny headlines out if it. The scottish papers are going mental with Irn Bru puns.

U Turning all the time isn't a great tactic though because while it disguises him as moderate it makes him look like a div or a wuss about 50% of the time and he's the heir anointed of the New Conservatives.

UrbicaMortis posted:I hope this move turns out to be a massive miscalculation and IDS languishes in obscurity for the rest of his career. Oh yeah hes shown disloyalty he's not getting back in and lol he's never gonna be PM or a kingmaker. He'll probably still make a fantastic living though. Corbyn calling for Osborne to resign while Cameron maintains a steely smile as his party collapses behind him makes me happy for Corbyn for the first time in a while.

Not that it will matter to the 'flaps in question but its important that thread historians are able to keep track of all his backtracking, since its an amusing quality in a pedant.Pissflaps posted:I doubt he'll do a loving thing tbh. Probably mumble something a bit vague. Says Mr Flaps, after asserting that a good opposition leader would do something over IDS resigning. Half a page later when Jezza does a loving thing flaps says Osborne probably won't resign just because Jeremy says he will and therefore flaps wins. I'd go find all the quotes but I'm writing this on the bog and I'm done now.

Jose posted:so with this insane amount of infighting with the tories if having the EU referendum this year a good or bad thing with a general election a way off? The plan is clearly to have their fighting here then win the referendum and have a few years for things to simmer down. Problem for them is that the EU referendum is likely to be as successful at that as the Scotland referendum was at quieting the SNP.

This is hilarious Trump is a member of the donor class. Trump's "bit" is to be as bad a candidate as possible and tank the republicans while getting richer and more famous. Voting for him as a "gently caress you lol" is stupid but understandable, I honestly don't get how anyone smart enough to write sentences online would actually vote for Trump unless it's a prank on your own country and yourself.

So Osborne's basically out of the leadership race and he's (James) Murdoch's golden boy, I don't know if the actual Tory membership likes Boris enough and after that you've got Gove and May who are basically beneath consideration. Who the gently caress is gonna win this thing? I think maybe a dark horse candidate. That or Bojo but I don't think he can actually win a general, he'd have swept it in 2010 but hes not as much of a LEJEEERND now.

Seems like the list was probably made up by some of Jezza's enthusiastic core supporters quite possibly without his knowledge and got leaked out a while ago and as people say is being used now because Cam needs a break. Still a loving silly thing to let slip but its not exactly important and the media doesn't seem to be running with it much. It has given them an excuse to stop talking about the budget though. I don't think anybody gives much of a poo poo about PMQs and the only people I know who do watch it seem to always think their side won the day anyway. Nothing to have a thread civil war over. Especially since Labour are still about two hundred times better off now than they were a couple months ago. Its hugely unlikely Corbyn will win in 2020, he likes Jam and isn't very Prime Ministerial, now we've got that out of the way lets go back to enjoying watching the tories self-destruct because they feel they are unstoppable and so can now get down to their favourite past-time of backstabbing eachother over who is the biggest immoral idiot. "Me, no me!"

Gonzo McFee posted:It'll do no damage to Corbyn, but it's pushing "Tories try to starve disabled to death" out the headlines. A little but it was mostly Brussels that did that. Remains to be seen how long the news can string this into a crisis for Labour by using it to bait the Blairites though and I will be a pessimist and predict that the Blairites will jump at the bait and hoot and swing around parliament for a bit over it.

At least the worst dirt they seem to have on Corbyn is that hes boring, had sex with a black woman and that he thinks hostile MPs are hostile to him and hey, let the tories spend their ammo this early. I went into a political fugue state ages ago and am looking forward to the hilarious trainwreck the next 9 years of tory government are going to be, gently caress all else to do but enjoy it however you can. Their leadership election is going to be even better than the US one, they have no candidates and much of their policy has been predicated on doing as much damage as possible before they got voted out in 2015, since that didn't happen all their chickens are going to start coming home and its going to be brilliant (not for the country or people but that goes without saying with Tory governments). Now, if I was disabled on the other hand I'd be looking up how to make a Sten gun right about now.
