To think it’s utterly disgraceful that Corbyn hasn’t resigned

[Bearbehind]

The man is the reason the Labour Party didn’t stand a chance in the GE

Yet today he doesn’t even have the good grace or integrity to step aside

Is their anyone at all who supports him in that decision?

Awesome is that today?

I'd say that about Owen Jones tbh

That's not looking at your own party.

How many facts about the Conservative party does it take?

Just read Roy Hatterlsey’s piece in The Guardian and Andrew Rawnsley’s

I don’t usually read The Guardian but along with other articles in other papers the consensus is that Labour shall continue to damage itself by electing Rebecca Long Bailey

The left are intent on holding on to the party no matter what - the utter nonsense pr spin from Corbyn this week was We won the argument

How insulting to voters you didn’t win anything apart from the Labour Party and Corbynism as it’s now being called shall not help anyone in society but shall just fuel the egos on the far left of the party keeping the party where they think it should be and fuck the public and what is the best way we can help them

Sadly Labour shall have a few more years of this whole the Conservatives will already be thinking about the next election and how to keep their new voters wanting to vote for them again - shame Labour from the top as the party is now are not thinking of how they can win these voters back but rather who should control the party

The vote share for labour over last few years;

10.7m in 2001
9.5m in 2005
8.6m in 2010
9.3m in 2015
12.8m in 2017
10.2m in 2019

Clearly how it translates into seats tells a very different story. Still thought it was interesting.

People who post those stats always inexplicably leave off

13.5m in 1997

and fail to notice the population increased from 59m in 2000 to 67.5m in 2019.

Do you know the total number of those that voted each year? That would give a fuller picture

I note 1997. I think it is interesting that the spread of the votes is more important than the number of votes.

Labour had 40% of the vote in 2017

32.1 in 2019

Still Corbyn won the argument

So nearly a 1/4 or 25% loss in votes - that is a huge amount

How the seats are won has worked for and against both the main parties of you look back over the last 50 years

Agree I think electoral system needs looking at.

Shame that Labour didn’t campaign for a Yes vote in the 2011 AV referendum.

Agree I think electoral system needs looking at

I'm sure Boris will be getting right on with that. Looking forward to it being made almost impossible to vote for huge swathes of people.

Agree Noble. Although would have preferred PR but AV was something
