  1. @hissingdwarf The Sinn fein example is quite valid but Ireland have proportional representation...whereas we have first past the post...yes , Boris will drop a clanger big time but only one has to look to Trump to see even a party backs a fascist if he is seen to be a vote winner
  2. @hissingdwarf I respect your point of view but in my lifetime, Labour cannot win from the left. Becky Long Bailey is Corbynism Mark II, so will not engage the British electorate. My first choice would have been Jess Philips, but we really need a forensic eye for detail which only Keir can provide. As regards Socialism, I witnessed that in East Germany before the wall came down...not the answer but my angle would be to follow Sweden's social democratic model, which is where the SNP have gone
  3. @hissingdwarfThe continual problem is that , like it or not, UK is deeply conservative ( by UK, I mean England now).. In terms of Labour going on about nationalisation, they should have been more clever by perhaps proposing new legal frameworks for the utilities, rail having to operate in, with legal safeguards for the poorest in this country. Avoids costs of nationalisation but gives a firmer set of rules that these companies have to abide by. Disagree with the comment on the Jewish Board of Deputies.. Labour dug their own grave by not accepting the international definition of antisemitism. If it is accepted internationally, why did labour want to draw up their own version??? so stupid. I've registered as a registered supporter to have a vote... I will not be voting for R Wrong Bailey
  4. @hissingdwarf I hear what you say, but Corbyn's half hearted (even if you call it that) campaign for remain, is one of the reasons we are where we are. Corbyn's refusal to back manufacturing to say what a no deal brexit will mean for jobs, or even to look after the people on the breadline where food costs will increase, really upsets me. In the end, the GE was a presidential contest...electorate had no faith in Corbyn ( who was seen as Len McCluskey's puppet). The fact we had a choice between 2 idiots... Left wing policies too far to the Left, scared people too

  6. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/46401558 Yes @hissingdwarfI was referring to the GE in particular. One wonders how Ashfield deserve the current MP...
  7. @hissingdwarfwelcome back at this thread heads towards 48k views.... and we now in the transition period.... Pity your efforts in Ashfield yielded the wrong result...
