If Corbyn had a realistic chance of winning he'd meet far more resistance and lose voters who actually thought 'hold on I'll be the one paying for this Marxist's wet dream'. A load of memes and students and his pie in the sky 'costed manifesto' that relies on companies not just saying bye bye isn't going to mean much. This hard left agenda racked up roughly as many seats as Gordon Brown.
Imagine her leading us with the DUP and their beliefs at her side, hahahaha, please please let this happen, please
This post is nonsense.
Another person behind the campaign that resigned paints a pretty bleak picture of May despite I think trying to shift blame entirely to the two advisors. The whole lot should go - siding with DUP is obviously putting the PM's self interest above that of the country.
Pretty much what conservatism is...
Me me me me me , as long as I'm ok then everyone else can go and **** themselves

This seems to be the mantra at the moment
Not entirely nonsense when you look at some of those in and behind the Labour party - who pushed towards more extreme socialist policies in the dying days of previous Labour governments which were rejected by the voters and have atleast one foot in Marxist beliefs. Pretty much guaranteed they'd slowly start to push the country that way once/if they got anywhere near power.
This is hyper reality rhetoric. Based on pure conjecture.

Didn't get too caught up about this when her plans were suggested a few weeks back but if the top comment on that reddit post is true that's sending society backwards.

Gordon Brown was actually closer to Cameron than Corbyn is to May in seat terms. Corbyn can't even get his own PLP onside and is at constant war with them. Corbyn can't really rely on these tactical protest voters next time an election happens.

So apparently when May goes to deliver her queen's speech, I have heard on social media (not necessarily reliable I know) that potentially 60 or so Tory mps may get up and sit with Labour. It is probably nonsense, but stranger things have happened. And to be quite honest, if they do, I think that would be a good thing. Maybe we do need a change. Maybe we do need a collaborative alliance to sort this mess out, and to sort out the Brexit negotiations properly. In WW2 there was an a Tory-Labour coalition Government, and Churchill appointed Labour mps in his Cabinet because it was the right thing to do at the time in the situation the country faced. We face similar turbulent and uncertain times, and perhaps it isn't such a far fetched proposal who knows?

Abolish political parties, policies developed on common sense and fairness rather than ideology, it will never happen though as the majority of people just love to screw each-other over.
The Labour Party has changed in the last 24 hours...there is more support for Corbyn than ever .
Not really, but it will be very difficult for Ruth to deal with them and not have Labour/SNP/Lib Dems down her neck for betraying woman/LGBTI/common decency.
