It's good to see that you have the countries interests as your priority. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (09 Jun 2017 11.10am) Think you'll find that both Cameron and May's recent spectacularly bad decision making reflects how they let their arrogance and ineptitude take precedence over the 'country's best interests'. Highly unlikely that Conservatives will now want to go to polls again for a long time esp. given number of Tory seats on wafer thin majorities e.g. Richmond; Hastings etc. In the meantime, our Govt is the laughing stock of Europe and that will inevitably hinder Brexit negotiations. Anyone for DUP at negotiating table as well? (You couldn't make it up as to what a car crash of a result this is for May and co.)

A lot of naive students and self interested minorities have tried to hijack our negotiating power.

I see the "terrorist sympathiser" argument seems to have significantly lessened now the Tories are set to go into coalition with DUP. Oh the unbelievable irony.

The only victor in this election is "None of the Above". Tory credibility very, very badly damaged. May will continue as PM, supported by the DUP but only in respect of Brexit. Getting other things like Finance Bills through the Commons may well be more of a problem. There's no doubt she's a lame duck - her party will only support her for the sake of "stability" but it's only a matter of time before the knives are fully unsheathed. Labour seem to be claiming some kind of "victory" but by any measure, the failure to unseat such a disorganised, apparently unpopular government still demonstrates that there is inbuilt resistance to Socialism in this country. They made unexpected progress, sure, but they still fell short, very far short in convincing the electorate of their credentials to govern. The Tories were wrong to call this election when they did. Labour missed an open goal. I really don't see how they will win any election in their current format, whilst the Tories are far better at getting their sh*t together after a setback. I can't help but feel that Labour have peaked. No winners here. The electorate didn't trust either of them.

The "Laughing stock of Europe" is our electorate who provided Corbyn with over 40% of the vote. Anyway, that is enough for me on this thread for now.

Only this is a relationship during 'peace' 20 years after the peace process whereas Corbyn's was whilst bombs and arms were being handed out and prepared in IRA houses for murder the next day.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

Definitely the socialists but Corbyn has the skills to bring people together who do not share his views. Good PM material. He has a long wait then!
