Hands up called it wrong 15:59 - Jul 1 with 2569 views | r0ckin | Well done to St Jeremy of Corbyn, he pulled off a tremendous British style defeat. Was hoping he'd gain one or two more seats so that we could get rid of Theresa May but there we are it's better than what I was expecting a 50+ majority for the hard brexit. The negative is that Corbyn will stay in now and that's not good for labour or for the Country. I keep hoping for a Macron style movement in this Country to be pro business, pro EU, pro liberalism but so far it doesn't appear anyone has the balls for it. [Post edited 1 Jul 2017 15:59]

I do think though corbynistas are in a false sense of security, in the main just like brexit it was a protest vote against brexit/austerity/horrific tory manifesto In normal times it would have be a landslide. I still can't see in reality how he can win an election because the tories will not fck up again and unless he changes his anti eu ways the soft vote will revert back to liberals and possibly even tories if they get act together. It was the ultimate coalition but that's unsustainable imo. Labour should split, it's just silly having people like Liz Kendall and John Mcdonnell in the same party. Paul Mason was spot on this week, he basically urged the right of labour to form a new centrist, liberal, pro EU party because the left have taken ownership and the new statist, anti business, anti EU party of Tony Benn is now in supreme control. At this moment in time we're crying out for some moderation. Centrists of the World should unite but party political tribal bs always gets in the way. | |

Oh it will, this 2 year Parliament is going to be a riot. I expect a recession in around 12 months sadly and then you'll hear the shrieks from the public about staying in single market etc | |
