He's just a "wacky" front to distract everyone while the people behind him put forth their grand plan to gently caress over everyone but the billionaires. I'm most annoyed at the fact that the opposition party is still playing from the old rule book.

UK goons: Can somebody explain exactly how Corbyn has held on as party leader? Aside from being a general all-round chucklefuck it seems like every three weeks I hear about a "leadership crisis" because of some dumb poo poo he's said or promised the party will vote that pushes the Labour party to being on the verge of mutiny. Politics is pretty hosed here in North America but I still don't get how this rube keeps scraping by.

The Labour party is still amazed that it managed to get into power with Tony Blair in the 90s in the same way the Dems were with Clinton and they think the only way to get back into power is to repeat that performance, which was to be conservatives in disguise

Corbyn is popular because he is a decent orator, we are lacking in decent mainstream left wing politicians, and people are desperate for the Labour Party to stop being useless. Unfortunately, I don't think he is a particularly good leader, and as others have stated labour is full of blairites who don't like him. Labour hosed themselves, Lib dems done it years ago, Tories are probably loving themselves too, unless brexit goes super well. SNP are making hay while the sun shines, because they lost their referendum but kept their popularity, and they have a big brexit stick to hit the Tories with. For context for those not familiar: Back during the Scottish indyref, one of the main talking points of the No camp was that remaining in the U.K. would secure Scotland's place in Europe, whereas independence would place it in jeopardy. Of course, we had the brexit vote, and Scotland voted by a (small) majority to remain in the EU, which we were promised was a benefit of staying in the UK, so to be removed against our will has given the SNP (Scottish National Party) a mandate to generally be a pain in arse to Westminster. Corbyn was very softly remain during the EU referendum, and people were pissed he didn't campaign harder.

A mix of both of the above: Corbyn has support from labour members but not the parliamentary party (MPs) so they tried to get rid of him but the membership voted him back in. The MPs don't like him since he is not a Tory in Disguise like they are. Also Labour got into power in 1997 on a centre left Tory-lite platform so you had some traditional Tory voters go to them while the traditional working class Labour supporters came out in large numbers due to how incompetent the Tories were and Tony Blair being charismatic compared to the alternatives that were generic grey old men. So there are parallels with Clinton in the 90's. Labour of today is a mix of New Labour holdouts who want to go back to the centre and try to rekindle 1997-2007 before the wheels came off and socialists that want to go back to the ideals of the Labour Party of which the current leader is one. This is despite the fact that those policies make them unelectable to a country that is going through a similar isolationist right wing period as the US is. This comes from in part a working class that feels abandoned by the political elite and the EU as they play the old tune about how jobs are being lost to immigrants and how dirty foreigners are controlling England's laws (I say England since Scotland, Wales and NI wanted to stay in the EU). This is why Labour voted for the Brexit last night. Compare this to the Tories who are now going further right since they know that their main rivals are either infighting (Labour) were annihilated in the last election because they abandoned their principals (Lib Dems) or only interested in regional influence (SNP).

Cool to hear what the political landscape is like over there. I throw on BBC news in the morning in the background so I occasionally hear little bits about the politics so it's interesting to learn what the back story is to a guy that was having endless run ins with his own party. Random good news of the day: for the hell of it I decided to submit my kart club membership through my "wellness spending account" at work not really expecting it to be approved. Just got an email confirming they're reimbursing me the cash so I get track access for a paltry $100 out of pocket this year.

He's 54 (i think) and has hated me for 8 years now. But the worst part is she lost her mom a few years ago and I am terrified of what this is going to do to her. She finally agreed to get therapy to deal with the grief over her mom, this might destroy her.

I've tried so hard over the last two years to appeal to him, to try and win him over but after Thanksgiving I just gave up as it was clearly hopeless and I have my own problems to worry about, I can't constantly be seeking approval from someone who hates me. The Rhyno of ten years ago would probably be cheering that he was going to be gone. Today my heart is breaking watching her go through this a second time.

Yeah, I don't think there is going to be a sudden heartfelt reunion at the end of this. Just give her your support and ask her whether she wants to be with him. Just give her your support no matter what. That's about all you can do.

She's there now. He has a rather large family (whom have all pretty much accepted me)and I guess it's pretty bad. I didn't ask if she wants me to be there because despite my need to be supportive and a rock for her I don't want to be there when he passes.
