A foretaste of what will be happening on a daily basis if we're ever foolish enough to make Corbyn PM... |

Famously, Labour Prime Ministers have a terrible relationship with union leaders and industrial disputes are far more frequent than under the Tories.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/se...ption-next-week A foretaste of what will be happening on a daily basis if we're ever foolish enough to make Corbyn PM... ASLEF and the RMT have been striking on a regular basis for my entire lifetime. Not sure why you think Corbyn being elected would make a difference on that one. |

The difference is that he would repeal the legislation that bans wildcat strikes, and ones that don't have majority approval by union members. Yes and your ban from this site is a foretaste of what is to come if you keep spouting unsubstantiated bollocks. Oh, very democratic of you - it that what will happen to all who oppose Corbyn if he became PM? Personally, I would be delighted if my fears over a Corbyn-led gov't never had the chance to be substantiated... |

WWhy should it be more difficult to vote for strike action than it is to do something as drastic and long-lasting as leaving the EU? |

How can someone who, like me, is old enough to remember events like the 'Winter Of Discontent' seriously suggest handing unions back that sort of power? When did I suggest that? I was asking specifically about the newly-introduced requirements for a strike ballot to be successful - requirements that do not apply to any elections - local or national - and did not apply to the referendum. |

My apologies, I didn't realise that's what you were referring to. |

You can't be picky about which anti EU party leader is in power that wasn't on the ballot.... |

As you say, the issue is more one of whom the PM will be, rather than which party is in power next. You will only have yourself to blame if the economy tanks due to brexit and the Tories get booted out....oops consequences! At least you said 'if' for once, previous you've treated it as a certainty. |

What evidence is that then? Perhaps the we currently have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the EU? And the lowest growth rate. The growth rate is a more reliable figure as there are no dodges such as counting people on zero hours contracts as "employed". |

Don't other EU countries have zero-hour contracts, then? They are a bit of a grey area where job stats are concerned - halfway between employed & unemployed. Besides, I cannot imagine for one second that other EU countries don't have their own ways of fudging unemployment figures. This post has been edited by vidcapper: 5th October 2017, 05:29 AM |
