UK General Discussion: 2017 and onwards, Mayhem

Really dumb move to hold an election on this malapportioned map that favors the Labour party.

No, the map does not favor the Labour party.

Amazing how there are two parliaments that are hung where DUP is critical, the UK parliament and the Northern Ireland assembly, but they aren't negotiating today because it's a Sunday. Quite a coalition partner for Theresa "Strong and Stable" May.

May is done!

Gee, only an 86 point swing in the difference of their net favorables in less than 2 months.

So what are the chances of this moderate hero party being actually formed?

LOL, the Liberal Democrats just had the worse percentage of the vote since 1959.

OK, I'll say it: Corbyn has to go.

Because the media is after him for thinking that Palestinians should have rights?

If you think Brexit is being handled badly now , wait till you see it handled by Corbyn.

Not really, the Labour party is far less internally divided, and obsessed, over the EU issue. The radical Eurosceptics like Hoey as basically irrelevant, and the division between the likes of Corbyn one one end and Umunna on the other is far less than between Tory Remainers and hard Brexiters..

Seeing as it is the Tories who have created this by themselves, it is pretty reasonable to assume Labour would do better simply by the fact of being less divided.

True,  I would assume the Labour party would negotiate a soft Brexit, and perhaps put it up for a referendum, and stay in if it fails.

It's not often that I 100% agree with FBM, but good on him here.

Even if Theresa May had a twin sister who was President of France, she'd probably be telling Theresa May to pound sand as well.

Of course they want to deselect Corbyn for not being a warmonger.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

I would assume the logical thing for Labour to do is offer up whatever deal is negotiated as a referendum, and if it fails, there is no Brexit.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Wow, things seem to be going better for Macron right now than for May.

Strong and stable just had the worst government defeat ever.
