    No, just wrong. Labour lost. The free lunch offer reduced the scale of their loss.
    so you built your future and prosperity after having your 'free lunch' but you decry our children for voting for the same free lunch?

    Stevo: Sat on the fence, hedging his bets, shifting his money off shore, cr4pping himself, sending condolences to TM...

    I wonder if those that were in the Tory camp who actually did join the labour party and vote Corbyn will take any repsonsibility, even if it's just an acknowledgement that this is a really good outcome for the UK. Right in the middle of Brexit. If TM had called the election for say end of June, she would be out of office completely. The Tory campaigners realised immediately that the longer she came into contact with the GP, the worse things would get.
    After all, being at the Home Office simply underlined the fact that she was more a bureaucrat not a Politician.

    Absolutely. I will get my card out and donate to the good cause (funded by the extra tax I won't have to pay as Labour have lost :wink: )

    It was the free lunch wot won it.

    Is this free lunch you speak of "not having to pay your tuition fees at university and maybe be able to afford somewhere to live"?

    It sounds the 80s.

    There was no indication in my post that suggested anyone won. We all lose. This a mess, right in the middle of Brexit.

    OK, donate your £36k 'free lunch' that you swallowed but didn't vote for because it was given to you on a plate, to an educational charity?

    Stevo you mug.
    Says the man who backs a party with 12 seats currently. Not lefties, but definitely losers :) You have to admire the Lib Dems' consistency on that front.

    Mate, you set this thread up to gloat about joining labour so you could vote Corbyn in order to "lead Labour into the electoral wilerness".

    Their share increased massively at the expense of the Tories under Corbyn and he prevented the Tories having a majority.
    Is Corbyn in power? Nope, he lost.

    As for political wilderness, that's now the preserve of your lot I think.

    Fling all the mud you want, your premise of this thread you created backfired.

    Man up and admit it.

    50% increase on 2015 so there! :lol:

    Corbyn has done fantastically well compared to what was expected...and is still no closer to number 10.

    He isn't in number 10, but are you telling me you think his odds on ever being PM are no higher today than they were before?

    OK, agreed, I'm being slightly dramatic. I think ultimately both main parties are in a pickle. They need to appease their hardcore, but hold enough of the "centre ground" for swing voters to nudge them towards the majority government. Unfortunately, it seems the hardcore supporters on both sides of the political spectrum are getting more extreme. The Tory manifesto this time around was fairly similar to the UKIP manifesto last time around, and obviously we can see what happened to labour...

    This results in a compounding issue for any centrist party, (i.e. the Lib Dems) as it means, as a left or right leaning centre-ist, the thought of a Tory or Labour government respectively, is extremely unappealing.

    if libdems had nt come up with their 2nd vote policy they d have gained some seats down here, they came very close, stupid policy, illogical if you think about it as a no vote would mean relying on eu to let us back in and that was never guaranteed.

    Cool. 8) As to your earlier question. The MP I voted for won & we got the hung parliament I predicted.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Just because Labour lost, doesn't mean the Tories won. Everyone lost. (Except maybe the DUP.)

    And doing a deal with another party - that's democracy, not being held hostage.

    So Stevo, did you join the Labour Party to vote Corbyn as their leader in order to scupper their chances?

    As he is now leader and just led his party to a bigger share of the vote and seats than they had last election, what are your thoughts on how successful your plan was?

    And it beats paying taxes...actually on that note, I think it's time to make an additional pension contribution and get my money back :P
