I think some of the Corbyn vote just preferred Labour over what May was offering and weren't nearly as idealistic and "naive" as many make them out to be. I've said consistently that I think the scale of changes Corbyn was proposing were far fetched and he'd have to water it down but as a whole it was a step in the right direction, especially for public services that we all seem to agree we want but appear to have no viable idea of how to fund. I know that's hard for some of you to conceive and I'm just living with the fairies but I think many have looked at society and rejected the notion that we must accept our lot and corporations/wealthy paying slightly more (and still less than somewhere like Germany) is so absurd and reckless. To this day not one Tory has actually explained *how* these ideas are the insanity they are made out to be.

We're the Arthur over ere!

Really don't understand labour voters celebrating a loss. I don't vote I think they're all c***s but thank God that odious man and his cronies didn't get in.

Labour are @ 60 seats behind the Conservatives and cannot form a minority Government at all.

In terms of "Warped visions", Corbyn had a vision of conning the electorate into believing Labour could deliver on their pie-in-the-sky pledges and whilst he succeeded in doing so he is no nearer being PM.

Too early to prophecy as to whether there will be another GE in a few months.

May is going to stay on. Bad move. Going to be bloody. Another election soon guaranteed with such a minuscule working majority.

And the not so young weren't "mugged by idealistic mumbo jumbo" in the referendum last year?

One is reminded of the Bob Dylan song "Ballad of a Thin Man"

"You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked and you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard but you don't understand
Just what you will say when you get home
Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?

You hand in your ticket and you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you when he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel to be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible!" as he hands you a bone
And something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?

Well, you walk into the room like a camel, and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law against you comin' around
You should be made to wear earphones
'Cause something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?"

Whilst I agree to a certain extent, is devaluing the importance of degrees as everyone has one and it's no longer a guarantee of getting a job.

What I'd like to see is a significant investment in apprenticeships with a view to getting the degrees as part of on the job learning.

I'd also limit tuition fees being paid for those job sectors/qualifications that the economy needs. To have someone having their fees paid for a flower arranging degree as opposed to a medical one is nonsensical and a waste.
