Will Theresa May be regretting calling an early election with Labour seemingly gaining on them everyday?

Corbyn's manifesto certainly has made it a lot more interesting.

If peoplw want more events like the attack in Manchester Arena, they must vote Corbyn and his fake leftism.

How is his leftism fake?

@thatscottishguy: Most of the left is fake today. They do not care about the working class any moreMass immigration is s threat for the working class.
Their main concerns now are bourgeois, upper-middle class ones, like feminism or LGBT rights.

I agree that a lot of people who are branded as left are not but Corbyn is properly left. The difference between him and the fake left is he is actually left wing on economic issues and not just social ones.

@Cierzo: Its surely Corbyn's real leftism that is the problem. Nothing fake about it. Of course you are right that he and his like don't do anything for the working classes.

@MartinII: How do they not and who would?

@Cierzo: If people had listen to Corbyn on foreign policy then the security risk would be negligible. Make a case that the War on Terror has made people safer if you can.

@MartinII: Labour don't help the working class? Only every line of the new manifesto.
Cierzo · M
@Burnley123: I will explain my point with an analogy.

In both towns A and B some people have been run over and killed by wreckless drivers.

Major in town A does not do anything. Major in time B also says that driving is necessary, we need to drive, and petrol is free there.

More people may be killed in both towns, but I think chances are higher in town B

@Burnley123: Come off it! Nationalisation of the railways? Ban on fracking? You might agree with them, but you can't say they benefit working people in general.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@thatscottishguy: Sadly, for a former Labour activist like me, the Conservatives have more to offer the working classes than the present Labour Party, or did until May started messing things up. I know you will think this is ridiculous, but I honestly think it's true.

@MartinII: [quote]Nationalisation of the railways? Ban on fracking?[/quote]

I think working people want affordable train fares and a safe environment. Corporations do not. They don't want or need a hard-Brexit recession, which is what happens if May wins.

@Cierzo: I will use my own analogy:

On the first day a cat knocks over a glass bottle of milk and drinks the milk. On the second day it comes back to break a second bottle. Again it drinks the milk. On the third day it thinks about doing the same again. Then it decides not to and has a nap. Now you are probably wondering what real world political situation this analogy is supposed to relate to? The answer is... none. I made it up and its totally irrelevant. 😜

Couldn't agree more.

@Burnley123: that was almost interesting

@JovialPlutonian: Thanks. I am a really boring guy so I'll take that. 😜
