oldbitterandgrumpy Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Genuine question here. I'm getting the Jo Swinson thing. She's lightweight and disposable, I'll agree with that. And I get the delusional thing about power that she's got. But is she really any threat? She's a soft target, fair enough, she sets herself up through a combination of naivety and incompetence. But is she any realistic threat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think she is in Scotland, but in England she's running a propaganda campaign trying to take votes from Labour, using false tactical voting stats. That could be very useful to the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford White Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Could be a game changer. 15m in north of England. About time too. Workington man is going down like a bucket of sick I hear. Labour hold. It feels like 2017 already. https://twitter.com/AndyBurnhamGM/status/1192230639363342336?s=20 Edited November 7, 2019 by Bedford White 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Dealing with the Tories would piss all over an Indy Ref outcome and significantly damage the SNP vote at the next Holyrood Election. We just need to look at the destruction of Labour in 2015 after sharing a platform with the Tories during the 2014 campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a soft target, fair enough, she sets herself up through a combination of naivety and incompetence. But is she any realistic threat? Most of the other Labour supporters on here have given up on any real hope of beating the Tories, so in order to feel good about themselves they focus on the Lib Dems who got about 7% of the national vote last election. It gives them something to crow about until Labour starts making inroads into Boris' lead, then you will see a sudden rush of polling posts. It shows how low they are aiming. Most of the Lib Dem top 20 target seats (outside of Scotland) are Tory held seats in remain areas. http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/battleground/targets/liberal-democrat Most of Labours top 20 (outside of Scotland) are Tory held in leave areas. http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/battleground/targets/labour Cold logic says the better the Lib Dems and Brexit Party do on polling day, the harder it will be for a leave majority in Westminster, especially given the SNP's likely mopping up of most of the 13 Tory seats in Scotland. That said the Torys are very likely to pick up lots of seats off Labour in leave areas. http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/battleground/targets/conservative The current mindset of the Labour Party and its supporters seems to be that having a message that appeals to marginal voters is some kind of treachery. They love talking to themselves about themselves and publicly nursing grudges and grievances. If they do not get their shit together we will all pay with Boris' brexit and 5 more years with him running the economy.

We just need to look at the destruction of Labour in 2015 after sharing a platform with the Tories during the 2014 campaign. Exactly. I get that there’s no easy route to holding a referendum, but there’s no point in taking a route which makes winning it considerably more difficult. The whole point of the exercise is to win it and jumping into bed with the Tories over Brexit would undermine everything the SNP have said and done over the last 3 years, offering an easy counter-attack to the Lib Dems and Labour to appeal to those who voted No in 2014 & Remain in 2016 who might otherwise have been persuaded to switch to Yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
