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 !!!

If you are the one calling an election you do so knowing full well that your who campaign is planned out and thought through. TM didn't do that and she got the result she deserved. If she couldn't win that election she wasn't the right person to neigotiate on our behalf for leaving the EU.

As for JC, he played it perfectly. His team fully understood the one person one vote concept. His manifesto was geared to appeal to anyone making £25k a year or less, which probably is about 60-70% of the electorate.

The Tories got what they deserved. Their majority was a result of UKIP taking votes from Labour, which was extremely obvious to me so should have been very very clear to the Tories. Instead they held onto this blind belief that former UKIP voters would vote Tories.

Nothing has really changed.

You sound like Theresa May. "Nothing has changed, NOTHING HAS CHANGED!"

Everything has changed.

Think what you like op.

ho ho ho...are you off your head? Brilliant policies, brilliant campaign. This is just the star.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Peoples inability to change their opinions based on hard cold facts never ceases to amaze me.

Keep burying your head in the sand OP if you wiggle around enough down there you might build a sand castle.

They both need to resign. Labour will never win a GE with Corbyn in power - he offered the world on a plate and still couldn't win. May was stupid to call it and then presided over an awful campaign. For a full house, let's hope Tim Farron resigns too as they achieved nothing. The country desperately needs better and deserves better party leaders.

No way should he go! The huge turn out on both sides is all down to him, he's been wonderful for getting people interested in politics and voting again.
Theresa May now has to go begging to a bunch of fundamentalist, women hating terrorist sympathisers. Wonder if all those people worried about a daily express article from 30 years ago will be upset about that!

OMG, I've been waiting fucking ages to say this:

WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

Please can someone explain to me what you mean when you talk about wheat fields?

OP - JC will not resign, he was always going to do well with that manifesto. If you promise people lots of 'free' goodies paid for from the magic money true then of course they will vote for you.

No doubt TM has blown it however IMO whoever takes the UK through Brexit is unlikely to get in next time. JC and is band of merry man can now go away re-group and create a longer list of freebies to buy more votes next time! I have no doubt that Labour will get in at the next election. TBH I'm not sure why the Tories just don't go 'fuck it, let's just borrow borrow borrow and throw money at everything and everyone' and then leave Labour, 'there's no money left', to sort it out!

YABU

I am no Corbyn fan but I have to admit he has distinguished himself in this election.

The level of vitriol from the right wing press has to be seen to be believed. I picked up a copy of the Sun in a café on Wednesday. They claimed Corbyn had people dressed up as suicide bombers attending his rally. Utterly outrageous.

In the face of overwhelming opposition, he has presided over a surge in Labour support that no one could have predicted. There is absolutely no question of him resigning - the moderate left now has to rally behind him. The only people who would benefit from a change of Labour leadership now would be the Conservatives. Who can now enjoy their own internal turmoil and leadership debates.

OP- Ye Gods what exactly have you been smoking?

The uk is not in disarray. Nothing has really changed. It's just the media getting excited.

No, nothing at all. Just the minor inconvenience of having accidentally thrown away a majority and being forced into an informal coalition of chaos herself. Other than that, it is all the same. Still raining, my coffee is the same as yesterday...

Persian when asked what the naughtiest thing she had ever done was TM ermmed a lot and then said something like 'I don't think the farmers were very happy when my I ran through wheat fields with my friends'

OP everything has changed!

Want2bsupermum Your absolutely spot on about TM and the conservatives taking UKIP voters for granted. After all JC promised to respect the referendum result and to be fair to him at least in the Labour Party most people thought he meant it given that he'd spent most of his political career against the EU. So if Labour accept the referendum why would ex Labour voters vote Tory for more austerity ?.

I am really enjoying the bitterness from the Tory supporters. As a Remainer and a Labour supporter I am LOVING this. Hurts OP doesn't it? But, the people have spoken..move on, stop moaning etc, etc.

Yes yabu. Strongest labour for years. Piss off with your sour grapes.

The general public do not agree with you.

And oh yeah...that's a bloody good point.

TM spent loads of time saying that JC would throw us into a "coalition of chaos" - and now she is being forced into one of her own!

Hah!

YABVU

Manifesto was widely praised and properly costed.

The people have spoken and kept JC out. For plenty of we Tories particularly remainers it is a great day. Yes it would have been a bit easier had we 6 more seats (a majority) but I am sure we will manage. At least we've kept Labour out .

Not bitter at all. Corbyn was just not up to it.

We are now back to a 2 party state which is interesting isn't it? (In England anyway)

.

OP, I agree, Theresa May is: Strong and Stable.
