What are the chances of a Labour/SNP coalition?

Would the lib dems really be shortsighted enough to throw their weight behind the tories again?

1: Gonna give that a solid maybe

2: It's really unlikely the Lib Dems will claw back enough seats to be relevant

i don't understand this at all. why skip the debate if youre just sending a lackey in your place to get hammered on? the whole point of skipping is to avoid presenting a target. now youve presented a target while also looking like a pathetic coward.

im beginning to suspect that these tory fellows might not be terribly competent

May is notoriously bad at debates. Her turning up probably would have been a worse result for the Tories if you could believe it

so how long until the PLP attempts to coup Corbyn for "failing" to win the election?

:laffo:

A very long time. Any leadership challenge would go to membership vote and the membership right now views Corbyn as the second coming of Attlee. Corbyn is more secure in his position than he's ever been and based on what they're saying to the media the PLP seem to get this

Peel posted:

presumably the PLP opposition contains all of people genuinely opposed to left politics on principle, people who just believed it couldn't work, and also people who think they are the one but are actually the other

disillusioned former firebrands and careerists in deep with the City are going to have different reactions to the viability of left politics being proved. some of the mea culpas are cover-ups and some are genuine

My point is they wouldn't be saying this stuff if they thought they had a hope in hell of unseating him

I'm wondering why the Queen doesn't simply abolish parliament and then expand her life by extracting the blood and marrow from the now-former MPs, making Britain strong and stable through a 500-year reign of iron-fisted, bioengineered terror.

There is no "Britain proper" in a political sense, it's a geographic term. There's a UK, and NI is as much a constituent state of it as England, Scotland and Wales.
