I’ve quoted you and posed a question directly to you and you appear to have chosen to respond to someone else’s response to my post instead of directly responding to me.

I find this rude and frankly disrespectful and I think a hand written reply is the only cordial course of action from here on in.

Luke warm regards,

Check again!
 
Interesting analysis.

Honestly I have no idea. As a party I feel they need to shift back to the centre somewhat, and if I could hand pick somebody I'd most likely go for Yvette Cooper as I think she is excellent. However that is highly unlikely, so it will most likely be somebody on the front bench. I wouldn't mind Starmer so much, but they'll probably go for Thornberry or god forbid Burgon (The worst of the lot).
even I would prefer corbyn to him
 
Wasn't paying attention to this and things have ramped up considerably.

I've seen that Boris' brother has quit. In addition, he's also lost a few votes. Which ones are those?

I see also that Labour is withholding endorsing an election. He's also expelled MPs from his party because they're fighting a no deal Brexit so may not actually have a majority currently.
 
Why doesn't Boris, the largest of the Johnson's, simply eat the other Johnson's?

Please ignore the above post, it seems I was a little hasty.

If she is strongly against Corbyn because she sees him as a brexiteer ,then maybe i would understand.

That and he’s a Marxist socialist. The Lib Dems are currently on a neoliberal trend, from the point of economic policies, and Swinson is pretty much that. Not very compatible like.

She also wants to keep the Tory rebels onboard and he’s anathema to them.
 
However he may come across, he does give a damn about what happens to ordinary people.
Look this is only my perception but that remains to be seen. If he really gave a damn about the ordinary people he would have been more passionate about stopping brexit
 
It’s more the way he comes across as a condescending school headmaster

I can see that a little I guess.

I just feel that the sticks people usually use to beat him with are a load of old easily disapproved bollocks and often quite contradictory to boot.

It's clear he's got a bunch of rich and powerful people shit scared though.
 
Tory Lite.
Not worth listening to.

Considering the chances of a Labour outright majority in the general elections seems very minimal and you’re very likely to need her and Sturgeon on side to form a coalition government... I suggest perhaps you do listen.

Neither of them will join a coalition with Corbyn’s Labour unfortunately.

Normally? 0 chance. Corbyn wouldn’t want them in his government either, they’re likely to try and block 90% of his manifesto pledges. Both of them are actually a far better match for the Tories than Labour.

But, we’re in Brexit land now and strange things can happen.
 
They may not have a choice if they want to stop no deal.

Genuinely don’t think either of them would risk their political careers like that.

Sturgeon has done an excellent job of building the SNP to be a credible, well tempered socialist party. Swinson is in charge of a party that was decimated by a disaster coalition a decade ago.

Both will want to avoid being dragged into the media circus around Corbyn and risk having their own and their parties political good will blown apart, even if that means a no deal Brexit which sadly I can imagine most opposition politicians licking their lips at if it means the Tories taking the blame and collapsing because of and giving the other parties a shot at the rebuilding process with none of the responsibilities.

Tl;dr politicians are self serving.

And he won’t have a choice either if he ever wants to be PM. Because if he fails on a second GE, while the Tories are on the ropes dude to Brexit and with his own popularity ratings rock bottom... then that’s game over for him.

Both likely to have to massively compromise. I wouldn’t put money against such a coalition seeing full term though. Sabotaging and backstabbing would begin pretty quickly after a referendum is done (all 3 support a 2nd referendum)

If remain won a 2nd ref, what type of remain do you think we would be arguing over for the next 5 years?

The risk for both of them is huge though. Scotland is heavily pro EU and the only real reason Lib Dem’s are having a resurgence is because they are staunchly pro remain.

Sturgeon might be able to blame this on the Tories and use it to fuel her push for independence, but there’s no such respite for Swinson. Her raison d’etre is to stop Brexit and the voters won’t be very forgiving if she fails.

We are where we are. Lots of blame to go around.
Who is actually about helping ordinary people? That is what needs to be addressed. Be it Corbyn or otherwise.
 
UK or US. Its policies.
We are where we are because of going Tory Lite.
Brexit will bring massive pain.

It wont be about Left or Right. It will be about what people need.

We are? Ah shit, and here I thought we were in it because of a:
a) Financial crisis which brought national debt and recession
b) Traditionally eurosceptic country with island mentality.

Brexit will bring massive pain, but the policies of socialist eurosceptic are sure to deliver us :wenger:
 
I agree. A new referendum will solve nothing. What happens if remain wins by 1% this time? Or leave wins by 1.8% again.

The only way to fix this is for the Government to admit that putting the choice to the people in the first place was a stupid idea because the issue is far too big and broad to be decided like that, and revoke the whole thing and apologize. That will obviously not happen though because The UK is run by fecktards.
And populated by them. In that sense maybe it is a representative democracy.

Both of these were helped on and promoted by New Labour.
