Originally posted by Rudi Hedman At 72% it's gone well over the university pre grad/ post grad percentage so it'll have to deliver jobs and not the feared rising inflation and interest rates or they'll be put off again for years. There is a kind of irony in their vote because of this and also in their pro immigration EU vote but I get the former, not so much the latter. The flipside of the immigration/movement debate is that a lot of young people, particularly those who have graduate jobs, often see opportunities in themselves going abroad for a few years. Plenty of my friends have spent a year or two working in other countries (EU and non-EU), and were quite annoyed that this would be unlikely to be repeated in the future. Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

[Link] Labour membership up by 150,000 since the election. Now hitting 800,000 mark. Waddaloadas*** that Corbyn is, he should be keeping membership down to 150,000 like the Tories. If only 1% knock on doors, that's still a lot of activists and campaigners. Probably helped to scupper May. I was laughed at when I said rank and file campaigners will make a difference.

If your intention is to tell us there are a lot of gullible people in the world, I think PT Barnum might have beat you to it.

Funny, I always think that of people who vote conservative who buy into the whole more for less mentality. Of course I also don't believe politicians when they promise anything that seems too good to be true. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Yeah cos the rest are all such independent thinkers aren't they! How else would the inspired decisions of Trump and Brexit come about? Thank God the economic conservatives geniuses live amongst us. If only those French weren't so gullible. We're the Arthur over ere!

It's funny that conservatives want to take sentiment away from every single argument but fail to ever mention the damage on the economy of consistent cuts and austerity. We're the Arthur over ere!

It's just that voting for Corbyn on the basis that he is 'a nice man' or 'in touch with the people' or creating 'a new brand of politics' is so staggeringly misguided and naive.

Or perhaps some saw that the alternative was in fact far more reckless for society. Every set of policies will always have a legitimate counter argument, perhaps the reason him being a "nice man" was worth a lot more than Tories expected. We're the Arthur over ere!

You do understand that 'austerity' was for a reason, not just to be mean? And 'austerity' really isn't very austere in 2017. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (12 Jun 2017 3.15pm)

Perhaps, but very disturbing in terms of what people will vote for. Lord Bucket Head will be greatly encouraged for next time.

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (12 Jun 2017 3.15pm) No of course I don't understand that, I'm deluded remember. It's the level and length of Austerity that is damaging, this is "basic economics". I'd argue you've got your head buried in the sand if you can't see the chronic underfunding of our public services. Do you not see the damage that the crisis of our Schools and NHS will have on the economy? Besides the fact that it's a bit mean as well. We're the Arthur over ere!
