UK General Election, June 8th 2017

[Ronnie]

I think the next Labour leader (after Corbyn likely steps aside) could stay on as leader of the party for a really long time, if Labour manages to make substantial gains in the next GE, even possibly without winning outright.

Pericles, when you encounter enormous links like that, can you use tinyurl from now on?  Thanks.

It's amazing to see how leftists suddenly love the police

Hate to burst your bubble, but leftists don't have problems with police as a whole. Leftists have problems with police who don't do their job correctly or fairly, and I'm pretty sure May didn't cut police because of those aforementioned reasons.

It depends on the leftist.  Some on the radical left, namely anarchists, view the police as a tool of the capitalist class to control the lower classes, and a relatively cheap mechanism to protect their private property.
