I’m a Labour man at heart and my problem with The SNP is that they have destroyed Labours electability.
What I struggle with most with SNP and their relentless march for independence is how on earth they think they could afford it. |
How can Denmark afford their existence?
Think about what's so special about Denmark then tell me where I'm going wrong. |  |

Denmark is one of the highest taxed countries on the planet. If you think Scotland can change their taxes to match Denmark anytime soon then fair enough but I can’t see that happening in a generation. |  | | |

The public are turning away from Corbyn because he cannot make a decision. It's ok to say the party will decide because of the democracy of the party but that's no good if your the PM you have to make decisions and the public see someone who cannot make a decision, they dont trust him.
Plus too many of his ideas are from the 1950s being anti business will only lead to mass unemployment. |  | | |

But people in Denmark don't see tax as a problem.
And if they do, they come at it in a different way because it's a discussion about value not about cost.
The UK is fecked on that score. Even with the lowest personal and corporate tax in the Western world and all the problems that come with it. | |

Personally I think that whatever side you are on you need a strong leader and you need to know what direction you are being asked / told to follow. I was never a great lover of Tony Blair as he was technically a Tory but you cannot deny he was highly effective and although he went completely mad over his infatuation with Bush 11 he actually did a lot of good.
Theresa May is another prime example, absolute shower with no direction. | | | |

I don’t disagree with you, but how are you going to do it in Scotland before you go bankrupt? | | | |

Then they are fools and are responsible for the demise of the country. I don't see why I should pander to them. |
If people voted out because they thought we would be economically better off in the short-term than they be some justification in calling them fools. But I don't think many did, a lot don't want to be part of the EU, they don't believe the UK belongs in it and are prepared for short-term turbulence.
If it happened to be economically beneficial to become the 51st State of America de jure (some might say already de facto), I would vote no. Sovereignty would trump economics. That's what it does for a lot who voted out of the EU. |  |

I know the reason you post these polls is part of the narrative of undermining Corbyn at every turn... get it into people's heads that he's a loser and therefore not worth backing. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
Why don't you, you know, just for a change, talk about his policies? I wouldn't even mind if you slated them. At least you'd be engaging with them instead of this dirty underhand stuff all the time. |
Like "I will pay off all student loan debt"?
A lot of students thought he would do it, which is why a lot of the younger generation voted for him. Shame he had no plan for how he was going to fund it. |  | | |

That isn't what he said at all. He said he'd look at reimbursing those caught by the new £9k per year costs to the tune of what had gone previously.
Maybe you'd have comprehended that had you gone to uni.
P.S. And that manifesto was fully costed. [Post edited 22 Aug 2019 21:53]

But not how he would pay for reimbursing just look at it, not the same thing. Surprising how may gullible people fell for that one.

You didn't go to uni, your writing and comprehension prove that much; but if you did I'd be asking for my money back, buh.
I'm really not going to repeat myself. What you have posted is a comment by a shadow minister, not official policy.

No. I'm part of an active, critical left that wants to create a democratic socialist society.
You're some superannuated bore who's had all the benefits of boomerism and Thatcherism who now wants to dictate what the popular left is. Lol.
And I'm glad you're just as stereotypical in your assumptions as I am, tovareesh ;)
P.S. Please answer the direct links about something you were wrong about, if you don't mind. No wonder you left the party! [Post edited 22 Aug 2019 23:35]

being a plastic lefty on a football board doesn't count as active. and of course your popular left isn't actually popular - it would have to have some respect for voters for it to be popular. you're full of big words and cliches but you don't really care about actually changing anything do you - people like you just keep the tories in power. as stereotypes go you're really living the goldsmiths one. well done. | |

My political praxis and philosophy are very well aligned, thank you for asking.
Do you subscribe to a philosophy, or just think Thatcherism with lipstick has worked out terribly well? There's no shame in coming out, so it were...
Oh, and again with the Goldsmiths jibe! Is this the nicer, kinder politics we'd been promised? What was your alma mater, lowie? I bet it was an Oxbridge double-first! [Post edited 23 Aug 2019 0:05]

I couldn't be bothered to check, but it would seem rather an oversight by Labour if they were £339bn short!
I wonder if whoever came up with £339bn stopped short of rounding it up to £440bn to make it look more believable. |
Not sure where that exact number comes from but there was quite obviously a significant gap:

It’s all very well saying people should talk about policies but when those policies are quite obviously going to be impossible to implement they become irrelevant |  |
