The end of the Labour party

[Obelix]

It's a criticism I've heard many times before. Although I must admit the terms used were 'right wing trolls' or some such.

 

It's the reason some of the best posters have upped and left the forum.

 

It is? Who in particular because this forum like the city it is named after is still of a distinct left wing bent.

Not one I've heard, though it's lovely when I get called 'Tory scum' on here. I do enjoy that. Gives me a nice warm cuddly feeling. Maybe by the best posters who left?

Latest ICM poll puts the Cons 18 points ahead of Labour. I wouldnt be too surprised if there was not a snap election, so Mays government can legitimise their Brexit negotiation stance.

No i wouldnt either, because a few Tories may lose their seat due to election fraud, and if they had a snap election now, then wouldnt that wipe the slate clean so to speak?

That's Tory Scum for you, don't give a toss about other people's feelings, opinions, ideas, criticism, theories or fairness. The Tory party's born to rule over the common plebs don't y'know. And hang any blighter who says different...

You know it's curious that people like to talk about the Nasty Party but it's always the left coming up with "tory bully boys" "Tory Scum" "Toff Tories"....etc.

 

You dont see the right wing calling the left silly names. Odd that...

[unbeliever]

The left is made of hypocrisy.

My enemy are fascist and must be silenced.

My enemy are full of hate and must be destroyed.

In the name of liberty we must have many more laws.

And so on.

Liberal Democrat.....19.............10.86%

UKIP.....................66..............37.71%

Green....................12..............6.86%

Other.....................6...............3.43%

There you go Obelix. The votes show a right wing bias.

Conservative and UKIP have more than everyone else added together.

You jest, I hope?

Interesting, that puts Donald Trump as far left.

 

Left and right are misleading and tautological: we should aim to stop using them in politics.

Couldn't agree more.

52% UKIP+Conservatives (assuming I accept UKIP as "the right")

The margin of error on a poll of size 171 is 7.5%.

That's disregarding systematics which would push it higher.

This is entirely consistent with a "right" bias, with balance and with a "left" bias.
