Christmas Tree 3997 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 To sum up, The Tory party is at the fag end of talent. They have no one to match Corbyns campaign persona and Boris I think, while jovial, has worn thin with most voters. That won't stop all the plotting for her job which in turn will spread a cancer of deceit and desperation within the party. In the coming weeks May will be bent over a desk in Brussels and sent on her way home with laughter ringing in her ears. At the same time she will be humiliated at PMQ's, destroyed in the press and no doubt subject to very harmful finger pointing from the fallout of the terror attacks. Police federations, NHS staff, etc will all raise the volume of descent and the Tories will go into panic mode. She'll get the heave ho in less than 3 weeks and the fag ends will spend several indulgent weeks selecting a new leader. This won't change anything, the EU will play hardball (blaming the Tories) and a general election will be called. Corbyn will this time romp home. Given the rise of the youth and the a lot of leave voters appeased by the money tree, It would not surprise me to see Labour going into that election offering to reverse Brexit. Labour will then bankrupt the country and we'll be back to austerity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Might just be tiredness, but I'm finding it difficult to really become enthused about all of this in the end. The Tories will hang on with everything they've got in my opinion, and May certainly won't be around if they go back to the electorate again. Labour need to start working immediately on improving their campaigning and setting things in motion to capture the necessary votes to throw them back next time. Personally, I would target Scotland.

Rayvin 4964 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 There is just no way the Tories will go back to the electorate against a resurgent Corbyn. They have far, far too much to lose. It's not a standard Labour party they're facing with Corbyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're looking a second unelected leader year in 18 months who will also struggle with a lack of legitimacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the left wing outlets like the Guardian are struggling now. So yes, it's good for breaking the strangehold that the media have of information, and it may finally smite the Heil, but we'll lose some decent sources along the way too.

Like Wolfy). So yes, he's going to come back and, I expect, paint himself as some sort of Trump figure. Edited June 9, 2017 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
