I think the Labour Party have about evens chances of winning if they do call it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 10:21amLess ambiguity this time than the Brexit vote about what people are opting for—jumping off a fucking cliff or not (mind you, in that "not" is a further range of possibilities).
It's a weird set of circumstances, from what I've read, is that Labour has to worry about the Lib Dems siphoning votes and the Conservatives have to worry about the Brexit Party siphoning votes. First Past the Post muddies things so damned much.Silent Majority wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 11:48amI think the Labour Party have about evens chances of winning if they do call it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Sep 2019, 10:21amLess ambiguity this time than the Brexit vote about what people are opting for—jumping off a fucking cliff or not (mind you, in that "not" is a further range of possibilities).

Well, now.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 10:45amDramatically, no less. I've never seen something like that happen in the middle of a debate.

In my area? Really good, I think this is pretty much a safe seat. For the general? I have literally no idea, tending towards pessimism.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 12:20pmWhat are their chances in your riding?Silent Majority wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 12:07pmI've made the decision to once more begrudgingly, but tirelessly, campaign for Labour if an election is called.
I'm seeing some Lib Dem supporters that I sort of legacy-follow from Woke Doctor Who circles resigning today as it becomes clear to them they're just the new Remainer Tories party. Would be interesting if they suffer a little backlash now that they don't own the anti-brexit lane quite so authoritatively and their center-right predilections get re-exposed. Seems like them backsliding a bit would improve Labour's chances considerably.Silent Majority wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 12:07pmI've made the decision to once more begrudgingly, but tirelessly, campaign for Labour if an election is called.
If people can't be motivated on this last shot at avoiding catastrophe, they've accepted the idea that their interests don't mean much to them. As I said above a few days ago, this won't have the ambiguity of the Brexit vote; vote Tory or Brexit and you're accepting calamity.Silent Majority wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 12:32pmIn my area?

If these MPs can come together now why couldn't they have done this from the start for what's best for the country and not their individual parties.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 5:54pmWow, 21 dissidents held firm and voted against the government. The threats didn't work.
Hoping that they wouldn't have to sacrifice their political careers over this, but Boris pushed them to the edge. Supposedly Rees-Synthesizer's condescending lecture/threat beforehand also pushed a handful into defiance.Marky Dread wrote: ↑04 Sep 2019, 1:19pmIf these MPs can come together now why couldn't they have done this from the start for what's best for the country and not their individual parties.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2019, 5:54pmWow, 21 dissidents held firm and voted against the government.
