Franz Von Peppercorn wrote: » That’s a totally incorrect analysis of the situation. The reason labour is moving left is because the centre (the Overton window) is moving left, and to a certain extent right. The Tories are holding off their right flank with the their Brexiteers. Blairism is dead. Cameronism is dead.

Despite having failed to live up to any expectations that were made of him. Frankly his a sub par poor far left politician who just happened to be in the right place and the right time of austerity on working class areas. But all that faith all that effort he's done absolutely f all with it. He's still trailing a ruthless despicable Torie party of hapless miscontents. He will never lose a tiny portion of fanatics because just like trump the can't see his failings. The emperor truly is nudey. Love how threads like this rake them up where they can twist and turn their own comments several times over within two pages and always believe that's what the said on the first page. Good luck. He's drowning the party everyday he does nothing.

Since neither can be talked about publicly, people will talk around the topic. Best to focus on the Brexit side of things.

Gbear wrote: » Heaven forbid a politician actually shows some leadership and vision, and propose a solution that won't send the country down the toilet. Instead of hammering the Tories and Leave fanatics for their shady business ties and demagoguery, and the misinformation peddled arm in arm with propaganda outlets like Cambridge Analytica, and the total failure to attack the Leave side over their links to Russian Oligarchs, Corbyn has hidden behind the political expediency of a 4% margin in the referendum and continues to do so. What I would like to see from a functional opposition to the biggest embarrassment of a government in British history would be to show a contrast by displaying a bit of bloody patriotism in trying to save the country from this fascist cash grab and descent into oligarchy, but apparently the prize of being able to sweep up the remains of Britain and trying to glue it back together into a economic illiterate's fantasy is more appealing to Corbyn. Never mind a 2nd referendum. A Labour leader with balls and more than half a dozen brain cells would've been attacking the referendum as the illegitimate expression of classism and racism that it is and pushing towards cancelling Article 50 outright.

If it was not done today it means even less as anyone can project their beliefs onto the band of 7 even if they do not reflect their position. You would need to give it a few days at least for the news to permeate imo, for real polling. The rush to be first is damaging.
