Exactly.
I've been saying forever that the amount of hate Corbyn gets from his own party for having the reputation of being anti EU was idiotic.
Had he come out as a remainer and turned the party into a remain party it would've been a never ending bloodbath since 2016. Theresa May might still have been PM.
Just look at all the swings in non hard leave seats. Look at the presence. Look at the number of votes Labour got everywhere.
Brexit and the media are such huge factors this election. Imagine if 99% of the news was Fox with some of the stations managing to seem 'neutral' to most of the dumb fucks in the country.
You can't relate the next US election to this.
If they're all having heart attacks I won't be calling the ambulances. Pricks.
This is how I'm feeling. This world has shown me nothing but a constant spiral down into 'fucked' since I turned 18. How the fuck are you even supposed to 'feel good' about the future when you don't even know what that feels like?
Just everything feels so fucking pointless. I hate it.
100%, that's exactly what we need, another leader that should be indicted for war crimes.
All this talk about a new referendum and correcting past mistakes...for nothing. I think it's time to admit that this is the direction most people want for the UK and just get a move on. Brexit needs to happen soon, the decision is clear. I feel sorry for the rest, sane people.
SNP is looking for European approval over and above Westminster. There is no precedence for this. Regardless, next year is going to be far rockier. Scotland is going to become much more hostile to Boris than it already is, and the independence movement is going to kick it up a lot.
Yep, he's at risk. My favourite person in Parliament, always has been. It's weird to say this but I was hoping he'd leave on his own terms or die as a sitting MP. If he lost, it would break my heart, sincerely.
Yep, bad night.
Probably screaming fcuk the Pope.
Labour needs to dissolve as a party and something new needs to come in its place.
Its name and reputation is toxic at the moment.
The whole of the country is toxic, to be fair.
Ah man this is just leaving my head hot.

Boris can't even handle an Andrew Neil interview, he can't handle angry Scots.
Currently having a break from counting votes, final saw the exit polls and fuck I feel like I'm in a nightmare.
How did it get to this bad, what happened, I feel like I don't know my country anymore.
I just want to go home and pet my dog, tell him it'll be alright.

Tory prick on STV saying SNP have no mandate for Indy Ref 2 since they won't have an overall majority percentage....but Boris will have a mandate for Brexit even without half of the popular vote. These slimy cunts...
You guys might wanna brush up on this video.
My condolences.
My condolences.
That's a nice response that doesn't actually deal with the political argument I'm making.
Tbf, that was likely as soon as Sinn Féin stepped aside. And thank fuck for that. No love for the SDLP but Little-Pengelly deserves nothing less than to lose.
Same. I'd be devastated. It'd symbolise a lot tbh.
Before tonight I was thinking Trump would be gone next year, but now I'm thinking once the social media shite goes up a gear again, the repetitive vote-winning phrases are spewed out and drilled into the heads of the masses, and a bunch of bullshit smears are thrown at the Democrat candidate, I think the world will be stuck with him for another 4 years. All these right wing bastards are using the same tactics and they clearly work.
The worst thing about this election is that Corbyn will resign with his name besmirched. If he had come into power then maybe people could have seen that the media lied about him, but now he will be remembered by many as a weak and anti-Semitic leader.
The people drank the Kool-Aid

All these excuses about the media and so on make it seem as if labour has never won election in history. They obviously have managed to do it before (and increased public welfare incredibly, at least domestically). But you have to do what it takes to win. Workers clearly and other non-highly educated or non-cosmopolitans voters are simply lost (in almost every country), since they will continue to vote on cultural, immigration and grievance issues. So if you wan't to reach more economic justice you will have to appeal to better educated folks. And guess what? Hardcore socialism doesn't appeal to them. So there are two tradeoffs in politics a) you sell out minorities to appeal to workers again, or b) you reduce your grand economic ambitions for more incremental technocratic changes. Otherwise European social democratic parties will continue their rapid decline.
Any new leader who has been a remainer = death of the party.
The people want their brexit and dont give a fuck what happens or what they have to do until they get it.
