foxy lady Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 thats great news...gives us a chance of starting a fresh :banana: Yes it is hilarious when the leader of the labour party knows he couldn't find 51 MPs and MEPs to put him forward as a candidate. It really demonstrates he has virtually no support or loyal MPs. Hopefully he wins the ballot and there is really no way back for the party after that. R.I.P Labour Party..:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) You cannot carry on spending £175 billion more than you earn each year. When was it ever £175 billion? "In 2005 the UK “current budget deficit” was less that £20 billion. But then came the worldwide financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent recession. The budget deficit skyrocketed to £50 billion in 2009 and £103 billion in 2010. In the subsequent recovery the deficit has slowly declined, reaching £40 billion in 2016". http://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/uk_national_deficit_analysis Edited July 28, 2016 by LeMaquis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 ....Labour simply can't be trusted on the economy and his policies were, SPEND... IGNORE THE DEBT...BORROW....BORROW SOME MORE. And Osborne really got it under control. "In 2005 the UK National Debt was less that £0.5 trillion. But then came the worldwide financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent recession. The National Debt increased rapidly and went over £1 trillion in 2011. At the end of the 2015-16 fiscal year, the National Debt went over £1.5 trillion. "In terms of Gross Domestic Product the UK National Debt in 2005 was about 38 percent of GDP. "But in the last ten years, in the wake of the Crash of 2008 and subsequent recession, the National has doubled to over 80 percent GDP.....". http://www.ukpublicspending.co.uk/uk_national_debt_chart.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 R.I.P Labour Party..:clap: So who, or what, would you have as Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition, in its place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy lady Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 So who, or what, would you have as Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition, in its place? That's very easy. There are 3 times as many Labour MPs currently in Westminster who oppose Corbyn as back him. So when the party splits there will be a legal dispute about who owns the buildings, the name and the debt. After that a new party emerges which would not be loyal to Corbyn. As that party would have more MPs than Corbyn's party they would become Her Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition. They could easily have 170/180 MPs. They might even be joined by a few from the Libdems, although some might defect to the Libdems and Greens themselves. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of financial backers for a breakaway Labour Party. It would leave the Corbyn Party with around 40/50 MPs. That's rather less than the SNP. So they would be the 4th party at Westminster, about as relevant as the Libdems. It would also split many councils with councillors choosing which party to align with. So Corbyn's Labour would lose control of a large number of councils. As they became less and less relevant they would probably crawl under a rock and die, rather like Scargill's Socialist Labour Party. :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbeliever Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 No answer to my post 1059 i see.... struggling.? I don't know what "none quiet" is supposed to mean, and I don't use facebook. I strongly suspect that if he'd said anything meaningful, you'd have mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
