WHats the strategy in calling an election for BJ?

Alastair Campbell on RTE putting boot into Boris, Corbyn and Lib Dems...

Also I thought 20 seat win for Tories more likely. If exit poll right that would be huge.

Exit poll due out but I think could be misleading... The global % won't reflect local variances.

The early returns from the north will probably go with the Tory's. But I've been hearing of a lot of problems for them down south.

If you wanted a really ballsy move... Letting the odds react to first few announcements and then betting against it... But wouldn't do it with my pension pot or rent money!!!

Though I wasn't thinking it would be that strong!!!

Interesting... To say the least. The experiment goes on

Interesting tactic. The price for overall majority has tightened to 1.04 from 1.38 just before the closing booths.

If I lay another €200 I can collapse my average. If one or two early results go my way I might cash out and break even.
 
Well Corbyn is gone and Labour might eventually be able to make itself electable again after two dreadful leaders. It will take time though and the deconstruction of the Marxist structure that Corbyn imposed on the party.
I hope it is now clear that only a lunatic fringe want 1900’s extremist socialism in England.

Good riddance to a horrible, intolerant (probably anti Semitic), arrogant, nasty man.
 
I can’t stand either of them. It makes me thankful for the political leaders we have here; I’d take Leo or Michael over those two jokers any day of the week!
 
Hopefully Momentum and the Trade Union poison will be cleaned out of the Labour Party over the next year or so.
 
The election was Labour’s to lose.

Wrong leader, confused message.


Yes we can!

Put America first!

Take back control!

Get Brexit done!

Today’s bread today!


Simple slogans work!
 
I think BJ’s comment that "It is a day that many of us have dreamed of, a day when the Conservative party genuinely speaks for every part of the country." Tells us a lot about how much BJ’s One Nation Conservatism is BS when they were wiped out on Scotland and still have no seats in NI
 
Of course Brexit went beyond the economy.

I just went by the vox pops on the various UK channels for the past year or so.

Whether they had voted leave or remain the overwhelming view in England and Wales was we are sick to the teeth of Brexit; just get on with it!

Get Brexit done, in a simple way, encapsulated how those voters felt.

Labour misjudged the mood.
 
Am I right in saying that since WWII only 3 Labour leaders have actually won a general election - Attlee, Wilson and Blair?
Callaghan and Brown were PM but succeeded one of the above?
They don't seem to know how to pick 'em.
