Thoughts?
Even if we set tactical voting aside, which is not something I would be willing to do lightly, they have displayed far too much incompetence already. They managed to have multiple major public fuckups before they even chose their name
Does the radical new plan involve internal bickering about matters of no importance. Because they’re very good at that, they should stick to their strengths.
If their radical plan involves some kind of political action then I’m all for it, but I’m not particularly confident about the outcome given the people involved. Corbyn is not a good politician. Why would I want him leader of a party?
That man lost an election to Theresa May. Nobody liked her and he still couldn’t beat her. All his new party will do is split the left vote further.
Opinion polls had consistently shown strong leads for the Conservatives over Labour. From a 21-point lead, the Conservatives’ lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. The Conservative Party returned 317 MPs—a net loss of 13 seats relative to 2015—despite winning 42.4% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since 1983), whereas the Labour Party made a net gain of 30 seats with 40.0% (its highest vote share since 2001 and its highest increase in vote share between two general elections since 1945). It was the first election since 1997 in which the Conservatives made a net loss of seats or Labour a net gain of seats. The election had the closest result between the two major parties since February 1974 and resulted in their highest combined vote share since 1970.
