Demitri_C Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Corbyn is just making Cameron and Osbournes job so much easier. He isnt challenging them at all. Even Miliband challenged Cameron more and he was pretty useless. There isnt many leaders in the Labour party from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tory governments are like diets in January, they are part of the seasonal binge and purge cycle which obsesses the nation. After the unprecedented decade of indulgence of New Labour, the electorate felt the need for some Tory discipline, and until they feel they've suffered enough, there won't be a Labour majority. Labour can bugger about all they want because the purge cycle has quite a way to go yet, but it will end, just as all January diets end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though they are not a strong as Blairs labour when they were challenging major and the tories in that era. I find this labour party quite weak in comparison to that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Xann Posted January 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) I think Labour are a bunch of arseholes. Though Corbyn is unusual amongst MPs as he wrestles to maintain a strand of integrity. The Tories are just looters. They're selling the legacies of the great politicians of history to their mates, on the cheap, weakening the powers of the democratically elected government. TTIP further empowers boardrooms against democracy. To paraphrase William Burroughs, look whose money our politicians are picking up. So Labour, struggling with their newly reacquired conscience and battered by the rich man's press, would still seem to be a better bet than the loathsome, greedy psychopaths in blue. Unless you're a loathsome, greedy psychopath yourself, or not smart enough to realise you're being sold a pup.

Yeah, because over 15 million people in the UK (presumably you see UKIP as just as bad/even worse?) are all greedy psychopaths or stupid... My only hope is that the Labour party wholesale adopts this kind of attitude one day because it'd lock them out of power forever.

You have already clearly explained what you found very amusing: On 06/01/2016 at 19:46, Mantis said: Are Labour a bigger joke than Villa right now? Probably not, but they're getting close. Unlike with Villa though I'm finding this very amusing. 21 hours ago, Mantis said: To be fair, Labour are a joke because they're failing to really challenge the Conservatives despite a number of missteps by the government. Even Miliband and Balls would've done a better job. I agree that most people don't care about the reshuffle but then again most people don't care about politics in general.

Why is this so difficult? Take Villa for example. We're a joke but I don't find the situation amusing. Labour are a joke because they can't seem to land any blows on the government despite some missteps although there are a bunch of other things which I've already mentioned. I find Labour being a joke amusing because I don't like Labour. I can see what you're trying to get at it here but it's not working because how I view the government and the Conservatives is probably fundamentally different to how you view the government and the Conservatives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
