Miliband was choked by the party. Corbyn would do well do bring him into his cabinet.

Sadly as it was Labour 2010-15.

Remembering that austerity was a clear political choice. So a group of policy makers made the ‘tough decision’ to inflict that misery on people. Real fucking tough for them wasn’t it.

Austerity. You try telling someone who has to choose between feeding their kids and keeping them warm that it’s something else.

This data is about as credible as nominating Jordy Hiwula for the Ballon D’Or

Fine. If I have misunderstood, or got confused fair enough I apologise.

I gave my opinion on what I think COULD happen. I merely pointed out that the variables could work in both ways... it was not a nailed on positive for the Tories. Now do you agree/disagree with my point or not, rather than this cryptic procession we are in?

Because some people are planning to abstain - hence the loss of Tory votes. Why would people be talking about abstaining if the Tory Brexit is the same as the BXP Brexit?

The Tories have no policies... their only coherent policy is ‘Grrr Corbyn’ Labour have loads - whether people like them or not is another matter.

Some former Tory voters do not believe in the Tory Brexit. People taking about abstaining. You only have to go on social media to see for yourself.

you still have a month to go - the Tories had a 20 point lead to begin with last time. Its going to be close.

Of course - but their blanket approach of only standing in seats NOT held by the Tories could be counterproductive. The Tories have to win by taking Lab seats. It has been suggested that the Brexit party take 2 votes from the Tories for every 1 they take from Lab. Lab voters that went for BXP in...

Not really... I merely think that the Brexit party will not have the same impact as people make out. I think they’ve got their strategy a bit skewiff.

Exactly - this is why they should both pull out of Brighton Pavillion. Some local agreements in 20 or so ‘key’ seats and then the dynamic changes.

But a potential SNP/Lab coalition is probably just as likely - the Tories will probably lose most of the Scotland seats.

This is sensible. Labour should reciprocate in Richmond.

Shouldn't we learn from the mistakes of history? Or do we just repeat ad infinitum?

I think people are overplaying the significance of this Brexit party move.... at this stage at least. Firstly - the chances of any BXP MP’s have pretty much evaporated. So this couldn’t help Johnson later on form a potential government. Secondly - A Tory majority assumes that they hold onto...
