the first page of this thread is a lot of fun nowMainwaring posted:Corbyn often has good policies but is fundamentally bad at the job of being leader of the opposition. He'd probably be a pretty good shadow work and pensions secretary or something idk. Peel posted:labour right is incompetent and opposed by the press, corbyn is more incompetent and seen as terrifying anathema by the press Paper With Lines posted:Well at least Corbyn will finally get his test and if he gets owned and all ya'll cry to death, maybe the Labour Elite who know what they are doing cane take back over.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:It's more like the latter reflects the former imo. Memes and forum posting doesn't make a real appreciable difference on electoral outcomes, but they do reflect a much wider appeal and sentiment. If your campaign supporters don't have any good memes then you're probably not actually appealing to anybody. gentlemen, we must not allow a meme gap

Crazy how many "safe" Conservative seats came close to flipping. Just 8 or so more and the tories would be out entirely, drat.

Rastor posted:That's the point though, the story is fully accurate while continuing to brush Corbyn and the left under the rug. It's a story in an American newspaper... nobody here knows or cares about Jeremy Corbyn unless they do british politics as a hobby or for work. Plus its just the headlines, its probably explained in the articles.

Given that the Tories have already drained all of UKIP and significant chunks of SNP, do they have anywhere to gain in a second round of elections? Does Labour have enough momentum now that everyone has seen they are an eminently viable party that can win?

Plus its just the headlines, its probably explained in the articles. OK, sure. Let's take a look at the current NY Times article about the election. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/09/world/europe/uk-theresa-may-minority-government.html quote:The British Election That Somehow Made Brexit Even Harder What a mess, Britain was supposed to wake up with a huge conservative majority! Now they only have 318 seats. But what about Labour and Corbyn? quote:The revitalized Labour Party did better in urban seats that were opposed to leaving the bloc. OK, we've stated the facts, buried one third of the way through the article. Labour gained 29 seats. They are still far short of a majority! Don't want to forget that important fact. That's everything we need to say about them I think. Let's finish out the article without even mentioning Labour or Corbyn any further. quote:Only a year ago, the vote on European Union membership had seemingly divided the country along clear lines between “Leave” and “Remain.” The vote on Thursday erased such clarity, delivering mixed messages, even as Britain remained deeply split — by region, class and generation.

If the DUP openly violates the Good Friday Agreement, what's to stop Sinn Fein from taking their seats just to gently caress them over? Aside from the republican politics, of course.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:If the DUP openly violates the Good Friday Agreement, what's to stop Sinn Fein from taking their seats just to gently caress them over? Aside from the republican politics, of course. From what I understand, Sinn Fein exists as a political party for the sole reason of never taking their seats. I don't think any bait short of full independence would ever win them over.

PostNouveau posted:What happens if no one can get the numbers to form a government? The Tories will probably try to run a minority government i.e. nothing will happen. Then Brexit negotiations kick off, the Leave fuckheads get really, really angry because the only deal May might be able to get through Parliament would be the softest of soft Brexits (read: the UK still has all the obligations and restrictions of being in Europe but without any voice in the European Parliament) and the next election gets called immediately thereafter. May is only PM as scapegoat for Brexit, imo, but Boris (worra ledge) is probably too sodding thick to realise that.
