His fourth in six months. What a pathetic record.

 

 

 

I'm sure he'll step up now and won't miss any more. He has his majority now so has to take the job a lot more seriously.

Shouldn’t he have been taking it seriously since day 1?

Well yes, suppose so.

Didn't Corbyn also go to Private school... :rolleyes:

 

At least he made the right choice following this. To help the poor and less fortunate!

Hell just be his normal bumbling self though. He won't change and that's why millions of us love him.

 

I personally don't see the attraction but the English always were different from the rest of the uk and Ireland.

Clearly he could have done more though.

How?

How?

 

Well the objective was winning the election, so being less left-wing, and pro-Brexit would have helped...

But that's irrelevant to my point above!

Do you think Boris won the election because he is on the side of the poor and wants to help?

He won it for two main reasons. Brexit and Corbyn's unpopularity.

Also, because his manifesto *wasn't* neo-Marxist...

It wasn't bad and some good things in it but a few candidates said it was too big and overblown with just too much in it as they were trying to please everyone.

It appealed to the wrong people in terms of who you need to win a GE, and there obviously wasn't enough of them.

It was the better manifesto. Economically, environmentally, better for public services, better for jobs, better for everyone. Detailed, costed measures and a full list of things that would have kept them going throughout Parliament rather than just the next year.

 

The Tories had the better marketing team.

IMO no marketing team could have sold that manifesto to the electorate in the current situation.

The manifesto was not the problem - though it was too big, coming off the sense of hopelessness due to tory rule. The election was stolen by cummings and brexshit. That is all.

I think the Manifesto was great but it wasn't sold particularly well, especially the Green Industrial Revolution policy- a missed opportunity.

 

Anyway, the difference in voting preference by age was just as marked as in 2017- if anything becoming wider and furthering the divide between generations... like I say, it's surprising that housing didn't come up much in this election - you can bet that it will in 2024 because the number of renters will outstrip the number of households with a mortgage.

'Stolen' by the democratic process?? :wacko:

A complicit media, constant attacks on the opposition, an army of russian trolls, FPTP, and a prime minister fleeing from scrutiny and the media protecting him for doing so does not a democracy make.

 

Also those charts you shared are clearly wrong. They have Labour on 10% for young voters and Cons on 10% for the old lol. Brain fart - mixed up the colours with the ones in America nevermind.
