Only cause everyone left and he had to fill hos cabinet with his best mates.

Him calling for may to stand down is just a joke when 10 months ago he refused and he couldnt even get his own party in order at least May has backing from her own side

He's kind of been proved right when it actually matters. May on the other hand.....
 
DUP has no interest in a coalition, apparently just doesn't want to work with Corbyn :D

Highly doubt that's true as they're bound to want something in return but brilliant if so!

A disaster of biblical proportions. Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria!

Or, you know, perhaps not.

It wasn't, it had flaws whitch the ifs pointed out. Also no account was made of indivials changing behaviour due to increased taxes. I have no problem with socialist policies, aslong as the party proposing them is honest about the levels of taxation needed to pay for it, rather than take the easy option and borrow. Labour have made those mistakes several times already.

I'm not surprised there is a hung parliament, the conservatives have become two authoritarian and ran a terrible campaign, and labour have moved to far to the left. We're really missing a good centrist social democratic party, with well thought out polices.

Yes I want Corbyn to wait, Labour should walk it at the next election.

If the Tories can get someone in with a bit of charisma and an ounce of knowledge on how to deal with the public, then I don't think that will be the case at all
 
One thing's for sure we're a very divided country and it saddens me that remainers haven't accepted the will of the people expressed in the referendum.

May is too far right/authoritarian. I think the Tory's will always find it hard to get a decent majority with her in charge. Cameron was far more palatable to voters on the fence and the general public as a whole and brought the party a bit more into the centre.

Agreed, May needs to be replaced by someone who actually comes across as personable to every day people.... at least Cameron had this but he threw himself under the bus with the referendum.

The IFS? They are a right-wing think tank, you know. Well respected, but right-leaning and no particular authority nonetheless.

Often worth listening to, but just another voice

I wonder how Corbyn doubters within the Labour party will react? He's certainly cemented his position in the party.

Labour still got beat and are more in line with the numbers Gordon Brown posted. I wouldn't say Brown 'cemented his position in the party' after that. The expectations were so low for Labour that this looks like a win, but it isn't.

Not seeing many of those in the Tory party, unless you're talking about Boris. I'm pretty sure the electorate are starting to see through his bumbling clown routine.
