BREXIT (15 Viewers)

[ann post]

The tories went bad jacketing Corbyn with the anti semite branding iron during the last campaign if anyone can remember that, and obviously the brits are still in the trenches of ww2 in their heads so that works pretty well over there, and it kinda works on lefty twitter too to the point I saw some pretty sane people repeating it.

You can't walk someone back from that one and win an election.

seems to me that it's just that labour are trying to beat the tories by playing the tories at their own game?

Well its understandable that a new leader would try to take a party in a new direction and also understandable that they would want to clear up any previous controversy surrounding that party not least one that is detrimental to winning an election. It still seems incredible that a figure as recently prominent as Corbyn has been effectively booted out even if all he had to do to regain the whip was apologise or publicly accept that there were indeed issues of anti semitisim within Labour notwithstanding the meal that was made of out of it in the media.

I suppose it has allot to do with infighting or the split within the Labour party itself and it is at the same time the fourth year now since Corbyn lost his third consecutive election. I could actually see him sitting in parliament as an independent maybe a little like the single Green Party MP from Brighton. Starmer of course is relatively new to politics compared to someone like Corbyn but realistically he stands a good chance of becoming PM.

I don't see any other option for labour supporters at this stage other than to support Starmer.

Starmer is forcing my hand here. Might have to vote Tory in the next election. I hope he never has a moments rest ever again, the fucking snake.

This is why you have a Tory government.
Vote the Starmer prick anyway

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Tell that to all the cunts who voted Lib Dem in the last election. I'm in one of the safest Labour seats in the country but the cunt is not getting my vote.

The next decade is going to be a very grey time for British politics. But the Brits need to be taught a lesson.

If starmer is the best the brits can cough up for opposition then I'd vote for him. The Tory rotation that's gone on since Cameron cannot be rewarded. Liz truss returning to politics, Theresa May sidelined for being sorta competetent. Boris lingering like a shadow. Starmer might be essentially a Tory, but a Tory victory after that circus is dark ages shit. The party that can't produce a taoiseach being returned ad infinitum. Pension rotation games to ensure the Tory class are golden for another generation.

By the by it's a product of the English devotion to the caste system.

Any 1-2% swing that gets it moving off that Monopoly square is progress at this point.

He's not the best he's the worst, imo. I might chuck my hat in the ring. I'd be a better leader than Starmer. That said, my opponents would only have to do a cursory glance at my Thumped posts to cancel me for all kinds of shit

How do you think Blair won in 97? He triangulated policy to be right enough to pick up the disenfranchised Tory.
