Labour-Not the Party of Protest

[Rob17896]

Shouldn't this be in Current Affairs.

Pedantic Sue. I assumed there would be more in the pub than read The Guardian.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Guardian.

We could do with one in there...

 

[Rob17896]

Nah serious though, @Rob17896 you banned from the current affairs forum?

Lots of chat about political stuff in there. Where the mental folk hang about like @davek

Which is why I avoided it.

Probably a sensible move.

BTW I live in Scotland and vote SNP. Literally a waste of time voting Labour or anyone in my area. 80% of the properties have SNP stickers or flags on the house.

Scottish Labour is probably worse than English Labour also lol

SNP in collapse mode at the moment though. Sad thing is with our system is that since the thirties we do not have a Tory majority in votes. Because of the crap first past the post system we end up with them in power. Democracy my .....

Yeh mate 100% on the SNP. Problem is, they have a massive following. It’s like a religion up here for most. They are so anti Westminster it’s fantastic.

Couldn’t have a go at the OP and not the next paragraph nonce. No offence x

 

[Goat]

No thanks Rob.

Who could argue with that! Add Brexit and they should not lose. Politics is sadly about headlines though.

And every time they get in they tweak boundaries. Near me, Swindon was always labour in a sea of Wiltshire blue. The tories divided the town to give 2 MPs, but the North and south catchment areas included enough of the blue countryside vote to ensure both MPs ended up tory.

It's so blatant it depresses me that they get away with it every time. Democracy? In the uk its a sham. I think it was Samuel Clemens who said words to the affect that "if votes worked, do you think they'd let us have them?"

 

[Rob17896]

No thanks Rob.

Your strapline is admirable in its honesty.

 

[john jako]

Politics in the ale house is fine when sensible posters under the influence of alcohol are posting in it. As proved tonight.

Don’t spoil it @Goat

Only a complete lunatic assumes their opinion is more valid than anybody elses.

We are all just clueless clowns posting about things we dont truly understand.

Do you agree Robert?

As the best band in the world once said, We are just 2 lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year.

Am 7 Stella’s in about to pay online to get your first sentence tattooed onto my forearm.
