So by this logic any government that got into a coalition would be a disaster?
Not if may fails with queen speech they wouldn't (unlikely but possible) then they get a chance.
Thats not true, even if Sinn Fein did take their seats in Westminister the Tories along with the DUP still have their majority. And people know what their voting for with Sinn Fein and no-one with any sense would expect Sinn Fein to abandon their very core beliefs and take and oath to a monarch, it would go against the principles of what Sinn Fein was formed for.
Not really. Just the corrupt DUP giving handouts to their rich mates to heat empty sheds.
Gove stabbed Boris in the back.
yeah i agree, talk of Corbyn forming a government on the back of this result are ludicrous, it would be un democratic as May got more votes and more seats, it would be impossible as their is no way he could cobble togther enough seats in the commons to even attempt to form a government.
I really hope that the caf members that are slating the Con-DUP alliance and are worried about the concessions that will be demanded and granted will be also extending this same degree of hyperbole to a potential Lab-Lib-SNP-Green-Plaid-DUP coalition too. Do you not think that concessions will have to be made here too? If not more? Before you know it, Corbyns wonderful policies will be watered down and he will soon upset people. Its all very well talking about WHAT you would do when you get into power but another thing actually getting those policies through. If he failed to deliver the promise of free student loans for example, then his vote share would tumble dramatically. The irony about a Corbyn alliance is that he will need DUP support to govern. Will all those hammering on about DUP influence now be banging on about it when Corbyn needs their support? Think about that.
.To get into power, Labour would need to enter a coalition. I presume you would not be okay with that?Yes, theory says coalitions are bad news for the Party that does them. Seen as weak I would presume, best avoided in UK politics, but they never do avoid them if it means grasping on to a bit of power,
Theyve been entirely representative of the youth vote
Jesus, no one is worried about a coalition government. I hope that many Labour supporters on here actually want to see coalition's become the norm, as we move towards multi-party politics and Proportional Representation. Historically coalitions happen all the time in the UK, Churchhill, David Lloyd George, and so on.
Well...
That Belgian situation was really weird. It got a lot of attention in the bond markets, but had weirdly little impact.
I'm going to be so massively pissed off when these last few days turn out to all be a Mirtazapine influenced dream of mine.
Again the argument is we went into this election think we where going to get thrashed and ended up with a spirited defeat and thats a reason to be positive.
Ahhh yes. Classic case of blame everybody else. Corbyn wasn't good enough to outvote a prime minister who is being touted as the worst ever...
A Labour, Liberal, SNP, Green, Plaid, DUP coalition is never going to happen, so get that out your head.
Lets hope that proportional representation doesn't go through hey?.. Labour would still not have the largest number of seats.
Yep. Labour's pre-election polling was clearly absolutely nothing to do with all the resignations because someone who made them all look like the Red Tories they are was made leader, nothing to do with the constant media appearances from every two bob MP with a red rosette solely to tell the watching millions how bad Corbyn was, nothing to do with them pitching Owen Smith and his 29 inch inside leg as an electable alternative while he went on an apology tour for austerity, saying he wanted to 'smash May back on her heels' and that Corbyn was a lunatic, nothing to do with the right wing rags portraying him as a terrorist sympathiser day in day out for 2 years.
She still had polls saying she was set on securing the biggest landslide since Thatcher on the evening before the vote.
I'm not a Labour supporter. I'd love Proportional Representation.
If there is another election, it will give the Tories time to run a new campaign and learn from the mistakes that were made. They are unlikely to do any worse than they currently have done so i fail to see how JC would do any better? Only recently his party were trying to get rid of him and Theresa May was enjoying a 20pt lead. What makes you think that Corbyn's stock wont plummet as fast as it has rose? Also... its one think campaigning but another thing leading. Anyone can say "i would do it this way or that way" but trying to execute it is another thing.
Another great point you inadvertently made. Corbyn achieved what he did and created a youth movement, despite absolute no backing from any part of the established media or indeed his so called big hitters, during an election he had no time to prepare for. The arms dealing vicar's daughter has lost her big 'terrorist sympathiser' angle, the right wing rags have lost their influence and the Tories have spent the last few days flirting with a bunch of moronic bigots whose views will repulse even more people than fox hunting and the dementia tax did.
