She does. She made it into a presidential campaign, but Corbyn was the one that campaigned like it was. He deserves massive credit for the swing in polls.

It will be interesting to see the next steps for Labour now.

Labour just need to make sure they order enough popcorn whilst they sit back and watch this joke of a government tear itself apart. The longer May stays the more they will need.

The police themselves were highlighting their manning problems after the attacks and they are an institution that is tradionally on the right-wing.


Not Labour then? Behave.

When are the police ever happy with staffing levels?
It's called fighting your corner.

It's good to see that you have the countries interests as your priority.

Thought I should mention at this point that Labour only got 261 seats. They lost by over 50 seats.
They are claiming victory by going from desperate to defeated. There are only losers in this election.

No they can't claim a victory and they were along way from grabbing the keys to number 10 but they didn't lose seats and sink further into oblivion. They must be feeling very energised by what has happened.

Young people voted against crippling tuition fees and zero chance of getting themselves on to the housing ladder. The number of.people trapped in the private rental sector is at its highest all while the conservatives bang the drum of selling off more council housing and building more homes for ownership. When is it going to sink in that people trapped in the renting rut need help and someone to fight their corner not gimmicks to own a home. That's one of the stand out things Labour offered. Rent caps and longer tenancies which when you are bringing up a family you don't want to keep moving every bloody year. If only the conservatives could get their head around this and do something about it

Corbyn is surely the biggest winner. Good clear message, and massively improved his party's position. May has been disastrous by way of contrast.

 


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

There is no doubt that they were expecting a spanking but the polls showed a narrowing as the Tories played into their hands.
The Party are still very split and it will be hilarious to see Blairites falling over themselves to put a positive spin on Jeremy Corbyn's 1970's policies.

Which Labour party? The Socialists or the Blairites?

Definitely the socialists but Corbyn has the skills to bring people together who do not share his views.

Good PM material.

Only thing I would say is in 5 years time he will be 73 and therefore if he became pm by the time his 5 years was up he would be 78. Quite possibly too old.

The Labour MPs are still not united over him though. Only as handful endorsed him

Think you'll find that both Cameron and May's recent spectacularly bad decision making reflects how they let their arrogance and ineptitude take precedence over the 'country's best interests'. Highly unlikely that Conservatives will now want to go to polls again for a long time esp. given number of Tory seats on wafer thin majorities e.g. Richmond; Hastings etc. In the meantime, our Govt is the laughing stock of Europe and that will inevitably hinder Brexit negotiations. Anyone for DUP at negotiating table as well? (You couldn't make it up as to what a car crash of a result this is for May and co.)

The result is very bad for Britain. A lot of naive students and self interested minorities have tried to hijack our negotiating power.
Very ill advised.

I see the "terrorist sympathiser" argument seems to have significantly lessened now the Tories are set to go into coalition with DUP. Oh the unbelievable irony.

Even moderators on forums like this have to realise that people do not automatically share their views.

The only victor in this election is "None of the Above".

Tory credibility very, very badly damaged. May will continue as PM, supported by the DUP but only in respect of Brexit. Getting other things like Finance Bills through the Commons may well be more of a problem. There's no doubt she's a lame duck - her party will only support her for the sake of "stability" but it's only a matter of time before the knives are fully unsheathed.

Labour seem to be claiming some kind of "victory" but by any measure, the failure to unseat such a disorganised, apparently unpopular government still demonstrates that there is inbuilt resistance to Socialism in this country. They made unexpected progress, sure, but they still fell short, very far short in convincing the electorate of their credentials to govern.

The Tories were wrong to call this election when they did. Labour missed an open goal. I really don't see how they will win any election in their current format, whilst the Tories are far better at getting their sh*t together after a setback. I can't help but feel that Labour have peaked.

No winners here. The electorate didn't trust either of them.

The "Laughing stock of Europe" is our electorate who provided Corbyn with over 40% of the vote.

Anyway, that is enough for me on this thread for now.
I have been very honest about my Conservative Party as I am with all my opinions on here.
