Vote Labour as the only way to avoid a disastrous hard Brexit.
May is calling an early General Election for a reason. She knows she will lose support when the consequences of Brexit hit.

How do they explain them allowing the Brexit bill to go through? Who will believe Corbyn is really against it?

@thatscottishguy: Agains hard Brexit. They had to accept the Bill because to not do so would have been against the ref. Obviously the media will through the kitchen sink at JC.

No it wouldn't. They could've opposed it on the grounds it didn't make clear blah, blah, blah. Through that they would have been opposing a hard Brexit.

Can't help but feel this is a year too late really.
When you consider ALL three major U:K parties were advocating a REMAIN stance at the time of the referendum.
May says she wants a mandate from the public before entering 'lengthy negotiations'. Which i suppose is fine..... unless,(dare i say it ?)people get discontented two years from now if BREXIT is still ongoing !

Not sure what needs to happen there really.
Corbyn has some interesting ideas. It's just worrying that he chooses to air them via Facebook as opposed to Labour rallies or something a bit more....Vocal rather than social media.
But then it hasn't done Trump any harm doing the same via twitter i suppose.
I still think there's no better way than getting out there and connecting with people who are supposed to be your core vote.

@Picklebobble2: He does plenty of rallies and even gets criticised for having rallies.
The problem is that when the media talk about him they do anything but mention his policies, which actually poll well.

🙄 How so?

It looks like she has played a blinder. The right wing media and Lynton Crosby are going to have an absolute field day with Corbyn, and the Labour Party will be eviscerated. I'm just glad I no longer live there to have to witness it.

@pezzza: Thanks. Do you have a solution for Labour, either mid or long term?

@pezzza: I do like Podemos and Mélenchon has some good ideas. The voting system here makes it problematic though and trying to change from within an existing (right-wing) social democratic party makes it ultra difficult. You get attacked from all sides. I can see that Hamon has the same problem.

I think that's right, i fear a 1983 scale result.

@Onecharmingman: That is what the polls currently say. We have 6 weeks to try and change them. Odds are 14/1 of Labour pulling off at least a minority Government. Mega tough but worth a shot.

I read it was to prevent having elections during the brexit negotiations too.
