AP posted:If he cared about the Labour party at all, he'd resign later today. He doesn't care about the actual Labour Party, he only cares about his crazy vision for it. If he cared about the Labour Party he would have resigned after the brexit referendum so the whole leadership election circus could have been avoided.

Baron Corbyn posted:he put out his response literally as you posted this It is a mediocre response though. It should be some Churchilian call to fight May on the beaches (of Gibraltar, on the side of the Spaniards) and stop the Tories from breaking poo poo, not some generic "oh nice a vote i guess the people will get to vote like in every vote" statement.

Tory losses to the lib dems will be made up for by gains from Labour.

Jose posted:the lib dems are going to make big gains most likely This truly is the darkest reality Prince John posted:They're probably still deciding whether they should block the repeal of the FTPA. Don't want to make a decision like that in a hurry. They probably should have had a plan in place for exactly this situation, there should have been no need to decide today, decision should have been made months ago. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Apr 18, 2017 |

UrbicaMortis posted:The tories have an incredibly small majority making it very difficult for them to actually pass anything. This means they'll probably improve their majority plus the house of lords has been blocking some of their Brexit stuff but they aren't allowed to block anything promised in a GE manifesto, so the conservatives can sail it all through parliament. They don't traditionally block that poo poo. They are still legally allowed to block it even after this election.

Seppuku implies some kind of misdirected sense of honor and responsability. What you describe is more like Hm More like short circuiting a substation. With your hands. And its fine cuz im wearing gloves see

A statement was made less than 30 minutes after May finished her speech. If you think that's shambolic then you're just looking for something to be outraged by.

This is incredible. It's like like a a public admission that the Tory party is dysfunctional, wither that or the CPS has been in touch and it's not good news. Politics within parties replacing the normal party system. Edit: The unfortunate thing is that they can call it from such a strong position, but the Lib Dems are still going to pillage them a bit.

Constituency and ward parties already can't hold meetings due to the local election campaigns, so I'm worried how this is going to be organised at a local level. Emergency meetings straight after the local elections?

Hey, it's unironically the best thing that could happen to Labour in the long-term perspective. Also I predict that Labour will do well, mostly because Pissflaps thinks that they won't

Thinking back to 2015 one of the major issues in here was whether the greens would get to keep their deposits. Do you guys think they will get to keep their deposits this time?
