Creative Midfielder 1,985 Posted December 12, 2019 1 hour ago, ricardo said: Worst Labour total since 1935. I have to say I didnt believe Labour could go under 200 seats. The wrong leader and Brexit has killed them, probably for a decade. Longer than a decade I would think - a good thing if it creates the space for the smaller opposition parties to grow and have a go. Surely they couldn't do any worse than the recent years of Labour 'opposition'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted December 12, 2019 As a left-leaning bleeding-heart liberal, this is even worse than I feared. I knew that the general electorate wouldn't go for Corbyn, and you Conservative voters must have been rubbing your hands together watching Corbyn cleave his party down the middle while you dithered. It's the battle of who f*cked up least, and the Conservatives seem to have won it by a landslide. All I would say, though, is if you have Sky News then give it a whirl rather than the BBC. I'd usually watch Beeb, but Sky have Bercow on there and he's extremely insightful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freed from the responsibility of having to corral 600+ MPs into some kind of order, he's pretty cuddly on there tonight. Although he had a right go at Dominic Raab earlier!

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted December 13, 2019 Well I'm going to be a rarity in the social media ****storm going down tonight. I'm not staying on this thread all night, because I'm a Labour voter and I'd rather lick my wounds privately. However, I'd just like to remind everyone that there are 101 ways you can divide and subdivide society, and the most important thing is to remember that just because someone has a different political standpoint to you, doesn't mean there aren't a myriad of other ways in which your views are compatible... NCFC being just one example thereof. Democracy has run its course. OTBC x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
