We had our chance and chose this sh1tshow ☹️

That'd be me.....and that will be me again.I don't vote just for the sake of it,it actually has to be something worth voting for.

Good to know.

Good to know.

Your welcome.....it's not like I've ever been any different.You should be happy you got Starmer,you did think he was going to be the saviour of Labour didn't you ?

I can't ever remember saying that, you're welcome to find a quote from me that says otherwise of course. I do remember saying Corbyn would get annihilated at the election, that the only hope was tactical voting, that Corbyn should have accepted someone else as leader of a temp coalition government and that he shouldn't have been such a mug as to let Johnson goad him into an election, still, as you said yourself,

But at least Macron has lost his majority and Le Pen's party has 10x the amount of seats they did have eh? Good news all round.

I also remember you wanting another Brexit referendum.....some might say that's why we are where we are ?

So you've allready said.....I focus on the positive 🙄

I did, and I stand by that, and Corbyn could have helped prevent the utter shitshow the country is in right now if he'd helped enable a temp government, or actually sounded like he wanted a second ref and so on. But here we are, no second ref, Johnson in power and the country spiraling down the plughole, still, least we didn't vote tactically or form any sort of alliances to stop this, it's only good news when France does it.
We are where we are because of liars, charlatans and shitbags that told some absolute whoppers and a tiny majority that fell for it, we're not here because of the people that tried to stop it, no matter what some might say, some being the likes of Steve Baker etc and the DUP I assume, or are you aligning yourself with them now?
And to be clear, Swinson is as culpable.

Give us a shout when there's someone from the "left" to vote for.....

Steady...'left' is a relative term....

Bizzare....you can stand by what you want.The second referendum,stopping Brexit etc was never a vote winner.Brexit was the only thing that gave Johnson his majority.Mad to think that getting Brexit done was all it took.
Corbyn helping form a tempory goverment would of been nice if maybe certain politicians/political party's would have backed him as tempory PM ?
From this you've managed to come to some sort of conclusion that I align myself with Steve Baker etc and the DUP because I think the rise of the Left in France is good news.
As I said you brought up Le Pen....I wouldn't waste my breath.

I think it's you that needs to read what I wrote.
You might also want to consider how many people voted against Johnson and for parties promising a second ref or overturning the result, Johnson lost the popular vote. The lack of tactical voting potentially lost the election. Brexit didn't give Johnson his majority, FPTP did.

I've considered it....but it does seem odd that almost every Labour seat lost in 2019 was a strong Brexit voting constituency ? Just a coincidence I guess.
2019 was a Brexit election, which is the reason why Starmer rarely chooses to even mention it now..
It wasn't a vote winner then and I doubt it's a vote winner even now.

Maybe just try a little to focus on the positive 🙄

Far right gains are bad news, but they've happened under decades of neoliberalism, with centrist hostility to the left significantly to blame.

Wot? Like a progressive coalition? Wowser...Vive la France!

Like the Labour party and their factions, the minute they sniff power unity will dissolve like a sugar cube hitting hot coffee

Centrists would prefer to protect their own finances than prevent the rise of the right
