UK General Election, June 8th 2017

Well at least Labour will finally get rid of Corbyn once and for all, who is odds favorite to become leader after he goes?

[henster]

I'm hopeful Labour will rise from the ashes much like the Liberals did in 2015.

Maybe after 12 years of Tory rule the Left will finally unite in 2022, I could see a real attempt at a serious coalition especially if Brexit flops.

[henster]

The fundamentals seem to be ripe for Labour. NHS hacking, nurse strike,  Brexit job losses, cuts etc. But they are stuck with Corbyn, the events may help them avoid a larger blowout though.

[henster]

What type of loss would it take for Corbyn to step down? It seems Labour is past the wipe out phase, I wonder if even a net gain of few seats is enough to keep him around or would he stay even if they lost seats?

[henster]

I refuse to credit Corbyn, Labour is doing well in spite of him it is easy to run an incumbent government especially one that isn't being managed well.

So many weird wedge issues in the UK. Fox hunting..trident there is virtually no threat of nuclear war right now or the near future, the concept of MAD is obsolete.

Is Fox Hunting really a wedge issue though? Don't the vast majority of people oppose it though?

Apparently Theresa May supports it and Labour has attacked her over it.

2 terrorist attacks in the span of a few days would seem be a huge failure on the Gov't

The closing message of Labour should be on police cuts.
