maxjam Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If the exit poll is right and I don't take anything as fact until it actually is, you would imagine that Corbyn has to go. Unfortunately Momentum have control of Labour atm, I would put money on the next leader being equally as far left as the current one. Until they return to the middle the Tories wino matter how bad they are will continue to run riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are Labour strong holds let’s see how people have voted in these constituencies. Indeed so. The leaving of the EU has to work through fully. I expect it to yield no benefit for places like Mansfield etc, but until that is actually experienced people will still believe that the Johnson line will come true.

Complacent wasn't she? Assumed she'd get a large majority, bit her on the arse when it didn't happen. Now we have an empowered Boris, let's hope he can get negotiations with the EU over and done with in good time. I can't see it, but hope is all I have.

And brexit is massive - people want it finished. Boris's campaign was totally based on getting brexit sorted and that's what people want to hear. It's a lie, he can't get brexit sorted, but nobody cares about that. He couldn't get the deal renegotiated either though could he? Was that a lie to?

I never lived there, will be kids be able to get one too does anyone know? Yes both you and the kids will be able to get an Irish passport.

GenBr Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 15 minutes ago, Paul71 said: I don't believe this exit poll. Think obviously a majority but struggling to see what was so bad about the labour campaign for it to be this good/bad. Its pretty obvious isnt it? This election was fought on one issue - Brexit. Labours strongholds are in London and old mining areas in the North/Wales/Midlands. 75% of his roughly two hundred non-London seats voted leave and he refused to pick a side. They already feel abandoned by London and this certainly did nothing to help. It might be a bold strategy, but it is utterly stupid from whoever was in charge of their campaign. They've also lost the vote of the moderates that will never vote for Corbyn policies. Labour will never win an election again if they stay in this position on the political spectrum. 8 minutes ago, Van Wolfie said: ....and a return of moderate Labour? blimey That size of majority isn’t a good thing imo. Either way. I sincerely hope it’s a lot closer than that. Moderate Labour wont return unless theyve changed how their leader is selected? They have to get past the trade unions first.

What however comes next for Labour is much harder to call. The broadly amicable split of ‘old’ and ‘new’ is now more likely to turn into potentially a bitter divorce battle.
