Loondave1 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 With everything think that’s been happening another GE is surely a real possibility. As a non-Labour voter I have been cautiously supportive of Corbyn but am beginning to question his ability to lead. I cannot see Labour getting a majority and question whether Corbyn will be able to strike any sort of working arrangement with the SNP. Corbyn has already defied predictions once at a GE,he might just surprise people again.Personaly in a hung parliament i would ask support from the SNP on an issue by issue basis so it would be up to them whether to dump a Labour minority govt and risk public wrath.A formal agreement will see the SNP as a DUP lite pain in the arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govern as a minority government and don't touch the SNP with a bargepole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supply and demand. Then the ball is firmly in the SNP court and they will be judged by what they do not what they say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ve gone to all that trouble then you’ve obviously seen the posts where I argued for Corbyn ahead of his challengers and condemned his critics in the PLP. Interesting that you chose not to quote them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope I'm wrong about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) Just watched the Junker/May press conference, it was all a bit vague and contained contradictory statements about which courts would have the ultimate responsibility - May said the UK courts, Junker the European ones.
