Has there ever been a poorer election campaign? I'm trying to think of a more incompetent, awful, pitiful effort. A year of saying that you won't call an early election. Then you do after a budget u turn. Then you do another u turn in the middle of the campaign. All the while you refuse to take part in the televised debate. I'm trying to think of a reason why this talentless woman should be prime minister but I've run out of any excuse!
I was reading about the demise of May's advisors, and a key issue in their downfall seems to have been May's leather trousers
'A former Cabinet minister was banned from Number 10 after criticising Theresa May for wearing a £1,000 pair of trousers, explosive text messages have revealed.'

Theresa, can't you see that no one wants you anywhere near government. You just make things worse. Leave everything as it is. DONT TOUCH ANYTHING ! You'll only break it. Just go.
Yes, and anybody who says that is anything other than a binding mandate to leave the EU is branded an "enemy of the people" and accused of defying the wishes of the public.

Still double the GE margin and did not need a shady deal to get it over the line
I bet you are. Top 3 all political threads amassing nigh on 12,000 views and that's without Diane Abbott thread
Who needs football?
Well yeh there was a "errrrr, how we going to pay for all this?" conference on the train back from Norwich and with the site publishers subsequently as we anticipated, QPR-wise, a seriously quiet summer. Needn't have worried, Maybot may have fcked her career and party but she's kept LFW alive for a 12th season.
I must say, I'm enjoying all the metaphors, rambles, analogies, excuses and explanations for why 42% is smaller than 40%.
Nobody is saying that 42% is more than 40%,, what we are saying is that everyone was saying the vote share would be more like 45%-25% which was the case a couple of months ago. During the campaign Corbyn connected with the electorate in a way nobody thought was possible. It leaves Labour reinvigorated and poised perfectly placed for the next election, whenever that is. Also the expected boundary changes which were expected after a Tory victory which would have benefited them hugely are now dead in the water.

Agree with all of this except the first little bit - people are clearly saying 42 is less than 40 because they're disputing it when I point out that despite the dreadful campaign she did still just about win.
Obviously there's loads more context to it than that but having fought the worst campaign in living memory one would expect her to actually lose surely? Like Milliband, Major, Brown etc did after a sht campaign.
If we're using football analogies as somebody has above, this is Man Utd drawing Altrincham in the FA Cup. They're expected to steamroller it, they're arrogant about it, the media write it off as a non-event, they don't even train in the week before the game and they sling out a youth and reserve team to go through the motions. Actually the game finishes as a draw forcing United to play another fixture in a crowded calendar which they then win narrowly 1-0 while suffering several bad injuries to key players. Everybody hails Altrincham, everybody talks about what a disaster it's been for Man Utd, everybody talks about the confidence and money this will give Altrincham going forwards giving them a chance to achieve bigger and better things in the future, everybody talks about the damage it's done to United's season. But, for now, United have still won 1-0. They're in the hat on Monday. Maybot is still in the big chair.

I could start a "Harry Redknapp , best ever manager ? Discuss " thread if it helps .
I also have a pic of Corbyn , May and Dianne Abbot sharing a sleeping bag at Glastonbury on an old phone somewhere if you need some clicks .

You'd also have to factor in post-election polling. That would extend the analogy to Altrincham having improved so much - and Man Utd imploded so much - that Altrincham are now favourites to win the next time they meet.

We're still paying attention to polls are we? After this, Trump and Brexit? The bloke in my mum's village who walks around shouting at parked cars has got as much idea.

Would largely agree but this was a Survation poll who were pretty much on the nose on both this GE and the EU referendum.

Ahem. The Survation and YouGov polls I was banging on about, that accounted for a higher youth-turnout, proved to be fairly accurate...

The football analogy is a bit unrealistic. It's more like Man Utd losing 3-0 to Altrincham but the crowd then has the last word as to who has won the game and the crowd say it was 1-0 to Man U so it's in the records as 1-0 to Man Utd. There are two dimensions in politics whereas football is only one dimensionaL. Do you blame Altrincham for not winning 5-0 or do you blame the crowd for saying that Man U won?
