Ahhh so you're one of those 'revolution' types. You know...the ones who want a revolution but have no concrete plans as to what should replace the status quo, other than some wishy washy idealistic claptrap, usually interspersed with words like "Neoliberalism"

In other words all fur coat and no knickers.

I'm flattered, no really, but so sorry sweetie u are just not my type ;)

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at what I'm reading from posters like Wiggly! As a previous poster said its like the fucking Indyref all over again. What is it with Trotskyist labour voters? Why do they insist that only they can be right, that people have been tricked and conned and that if only we could see the error of our ways we'd be signing a petition begging for someone like that twat Corbyn to to form a government.

I didn't vote Tory, but I have respect for the democratic process.

But thanks for the funniest thread I've read in a while!

Hah! Love this thread, it's just proven how right I was to vote this government in.

As someone who loves this country deeply, I'm proud that I helped to get it the government it needs and proud that I helped keep you lot far, far away from having any sort of influence!!

Thanks for the link, but I think I already did something similar back in May. That one was a bit bigger IIRC and not online. It had a special name and was all over the news. Can't quite remember what it was called, but if I remember I'll pop back.

I'm on the left - but we lost. Why did we lose? Because our message was unattractive to voters.

I, and many other lefties, are bemused by this - obviously we think that a fairer society etc. can only really be had by redistribution.

Conservatives disagree, and made their case well enough to win.

Instead of retreading old ground let's work to make Labour re-electable.

I've always maintained that voting for specific policies is a fool's errand; you should vote for the party that ideologically matches your general ideology. That way you know that their general "thrust" as it were, will be in a direction you agree with.

Gemauve - it's not true that Labour campaigned against AV. Miliband gave the party free reign to campaign on either side. Miliband was pro-AV, and I was part of the Labour's Pro-Av campaign.

This thread is gold! It has kept me amused for a bit.

What happened to the petition? Did the Queen see the wrongness of the democratically elected party? So many questions!

The really funny thing is that they think a petition will work at all. It just shows how naive the ultra lefties are.

I fail to see how some stupid online petition would ever have more legitimacy than the election that was voted for by people who actually took the time & effort to walk to polling booth and vote.

I don't think anyone thinks the petition has more legitimacy than a general election. If you think that you either haven't read the thread or are projecting your perceptions of "lefties".

If you're gping to go down that road, don't lefties usually come out as more intelligent in test anyay, IIRC? ;)

*anyway

wigglylines that was the best typo I've seen in ages!

"The ultra lefties". Oh dear. Not everyone who would support this petition is a 'leftie'. I think my political views would be left-leaning (maybe centre-left, I don't know...), and to be completely honest under this budget I will either come out better or not be affected at all. My concern is for those who will be seriously affected by the cuts and austerity measures.
