AIBU in thinking JC should resign?

[QuiteLikely5]

He's made a mockery of the Labour Party and won votes by creating a manifesto that the country could not afford to deliver!!!

Resign JC !!!

Tomato I do understand people like JC but I think he should resign. Yes he has pulled off a great campaign but that is literally all he has done!

No, you don't. You seem to think anyone who supported the labour party did so because they were tricked into it. Not that they could actually think for themselves and base their vote on what was important to them. Which makes you sound like a bit of a tit. Please note, not a personal insult, merely a reflection on how you are coming across.

I would only expect to be called 'patronising and ignorant' on mumsnet by a labour supporter who cannot bear anyone to have a differant opinion. Pathetic really hmm
Pot, kettle.

Ah MNHQ!

Never mind.

Ollie how about a proper debate then??

@quitelikely You're welcome,

TBH I like Mr C, and I know many people who voted for him are young passionate feisty young people who wanted change, and who wanted all the harshness of the Tory rule to cease. And I slate no-one for voting Labour. And I think all the young coming out in droves and voting for what they believe in is fab.

However, I can't bring myself to support Mr C as a leader because he has promised way too much, and I don't think he can deliver. I really think we will be in trouble (financially) with what he plans to do.

I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. May should never have called this election though, it's thrown the country into disarray!

I don't mind JC but is he not getting on a bit (runs & hides).

"There's no actual winner and therefore no actual loser (except TM of course grin)"

Hilarious thinking here - what, should they all be given 'well done' stickers for taking part then d'you think?

Conservatives still have:

• 57/58 more seats
• a higher percentage of the vote

and, it looks increasingly likely

• the keys to No.10

Yes, Labour did well, but they have not 'won' the election!

Aw, I've not been deleted, how disappointing. I hate it when people slag off young people and dismiss their opinions, it's just extremely unmindful and belittling. Hope these words are more preferable.

To all those people who talk about the country going bankrupt under Corbyn: what do you mean, exactly? Currently the national debt is £1.7 trillion - yet apparently we are not bankrupt. At what point do you reckon the national debt tips over into bankruptcy?

No one is saying Labour "won"

But they have suceeded in making TM and co look like utter fools, which is a win.

Labour made massive, massive gains, in the face of negative press, when TM had the arrogance to believe they wouldn't be a threat.

Wel now they are a threat.

And TM is responsible for that.

They prevented the Conservatives from achieving what they set out to.
They got more young people out to vote.
They increased their seats against all expectations.
That's a win for me.

No, the boy did good. Mrs May took a chance and her luck run out. JC was outstanding as party leader, galvanising the public to vote, explained his policies well at every opportunity and weathering a media shitstorm! Jeremy, I salute you.

Faithless you clearly didn't put enough effore into your "personal attack"

And I agree.

It is breathtakingly rude.

Tomato I do understand people like JC but I think he should resign. Yes he has pulled off a great campaign but that is literally all he has done!

Haha! Good one, OP. He's shown everyone he can lead and stormed to success. He deserves to be PM and so what he can do to build a fairer country for everyone.

JC is a fucking superstar.

Love all those who voted Teresa May, for her 'strong and stable' leadership through the Brexit negotiations. She will be gone before then😁😁. Has anyone heard from Boris and David Davies? No? Do I smell a plot brewing?

Draylon hope you don't think I plagiarised your post. The truth is always worth re-telling, and I just put what I feel, so I agree with you too. 😘

Goady Toady post. Sorry Rupert Murdoch didnt win the election via his stooges as expected but, those are the breaks in life and a good number of people saw right thru the sham and bias. Today feels good

Did you look at the results at all, OP? In detail? I thought not.

Change your OP to TM 'should resign' and you might actually have a point.

Yabu, needless to say.

According to Lord Ashcroft 98% of Conservative voters thought TM made a good PM but only 76% of Labour voters said the same about JC.

One thing that is wonderful about this result, a jewel to pick from the ashes of that triple figure majority, is that the Labour Party of 2017 considers an election loss to be an "amazing campaign".

Doesn't matter what ashcroft said
The tories are fucked

Are you joking? He has done amazingly well. He has increased Labours votes the most of any leader since the 1940s the news was saying this morning, not sure if that is true or not though.

People expected a landslide for the Tories. And they lost seats. Yet its Corbyn who should resign? Couldn't make it up.

I meant yes YABU and no , JC should not resign (in case there was any doubt).

@butterbean 212

Winston Churchill was older than Corbyn. About 80 at one point when he was PM I think. (He was PM twice!)

Much better campaign than Mays. I think I prefer positive campaigns based on actual policies than lies and misquotes repeated along with 'strong and stable' on repeat tbh

Yes he has got the youth voting by saying he was going to abolish tuition fees!

What's wrong with that? I think it's an excellent idea. One of the reasons the country got into the Brexit mess was a distinct lack of ability to apply basic critical thinking skills in a large sector of the population, anything that improves education can only be beneficial.

And its not so long since we not only had no tuition fees, we had student grants as well. The country didn't slide into economic disaster then, and it wouldn't now if Corbyn became PM. If the Conservatives have any sense, they'll look at this policy very seriously indeed.
