Rayvin 6275 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'm confused, won't this torpedo Labours chances of winning the election? I like Lammy, he gets an incredible amount of bullshit from right wing fuckwits and stands up and is counted despite it.

Alex 37534 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I think that electoral pact only happens if Labour promise PR anyway though. The bloke who does that electoral calculus site was pro-Brexit and wrote a lot of articles on how it would be economically beneficial. Funnily enough he’s gone a bit quiet on that now But the polling analysis on there is excellent. The fact you’ve got Tories in such a mess yet the boundary changes and the polls indicate they’d still be short of a majority might make them go for an electoral pact. If it happens, annihilates the Tories and brings about genuine electoral reform then it would be incredibly good. I’m too cynical to get my hopes up though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 7118 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Could tie a tie properly as well, unlike the utter cunt below. Was it Cameron who tried to suggest the way Corbyn failed to tie his tie properly was indicative of the lacking in class of the left wing? What a fucking joke!

Expand Because however small, it's still steps in the right direction. Will give the country a chance to stabilise a bit, defuse some of the bad will we have garnered with the EU. Hope that bigger steps follow this. Rejoining the SM was always going to take a decade by my calculations, although this still disappointis me. But mainly because, the alternative is almost unthinkable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7875 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 "The British people have made a decision and we have to honour it,” he told the UK in a Changing Europe’s annual conference. Totally flawed argument given it was a tiny margin that won and there were so many lies told. A new referendum would be overwhelmingly in favour of rejoining the EU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
