The flags were a bad photo op but I don't think anything McDonnell said was actually that extreme.

That is similar to Labour's performance in 2015 and the current polls, we'll see if it gets better over the coming weeks.

One big bombshell that represents two different thingsPissflaps posted:More from that poll earlier: To take a simple example: I think it is more important to vote in an election when there is a credible threat of a fascist taking power, and I might express that opinion by saying I am "more likely to vote" in that scenario. That does not imply that I wouldn't vote in the event of there being no fascist threat.

If you won't vote for a Labour government aren't you not a Labour MP in any meaningful sense?

For all Hillary's faults at least she had it together enough to win a primary election against a radical outsider. I honestly hope the Labour establishment has spent a bit of time thinking about how it can contest leadership elections with ideas and decent candidates, rather than submitting terrible ones and complaining at the party members for making the "wrong choice" afterwards.

Do leaders ever say they'll stand down after losing an election before it happens? I don't think Miliband did and Cameron said he'd stick around to make Brexit happen.

I don't think that's really an option for Corbyn because the question would just be asked again and again making him look increasingly ridiculous if he refuses to answer. It works if the interviewer is prepared to just move on.

A lot of people are stupid, or at least devote so little thought to politics that they are effectively stupid when it comes to voting. The point of democracy isn't for all voters to be super smart, it's for them to express what they think is in their interests. I think 16 year olds are perfectly capable of doing that, and they are in fact possibly the age group that will be most profoundly affected by government policies. I also think it would be a good thing if people could vote in sixth form, that way you have a chance to get them properly engaged with politics so they can make better decisions in future.

learnincurve posted:I'm not pro-fox hunting, but the ban has had a hugely negative effect on the fox population in the country . Idiots on horseback were doing that thing where the weakest died and the population was being kept under control. farmers were not allowed to go out and kill them all because biffy and the lord of wankershire must have their fun. The c/hunt was banned and farmers simply go out and shoot every fox they can find, because foxes are nasty little shits who will shred any lamb they can get hold of, often leaving them alive, or kill a whole hen house full of chickens and just take one.

Even if you think Corbyn isn't to the left of Miliband he was certainly to the left of his alternatives in the first leadership contest. They were all going in on the 'we will cut just as much as the Tories but we'll do it in a nicer way, promise' line.

Wasn't this ransomware basically just a general virus that happened to infect some NHS computers due to them being very out of date? The amount of damage that someone could do with a directed attack on the NHS, either to steal sensitive data or by intentionally shutting down hospitals until a ransom is paid is truly terrifying.

Seats with big majorities in theory could still be in danger and worth campaigning in, particularly ones that previously had a big UKIP vote.
