THe english have gone through periods of socialism, most strikingly postwar, when they felt (rightly so) that they were owed something from the dimbles in charge. It comes and goes.
Longish periods of labour Government maybe but, apart from Atlee's post war Govt, how socialist have they really been?
The tories do seem to have become very british labour socialist !! gone is the idea of personal respossiblity,small government ,light touch regulation ,encouraging enterprise ,national pride ,
In it's place is micro management ,nannying ,pessimism and timid policy ....

so Is this the last tory government ???? will some split happen and they form a new centre right party, Or will they find a leader with some passion Ideas and leadership abilitys and reinvent themselves??
Or will they continue to chose the worst candidates from the short list for leader and continue the death spiral ???

No. everything is the same except for Brexit which is not a party animal.
So would it be best to vote for Corbyn and look for a public sector job ????

Re oily Robbins , so looks like stoping a meaningful brexit is more important than the electability of the tory party hope the party donors and the rank and file members think its worth a Corbyn government ...

We will never be allowed to leave, they are all just pretending to put up a fight for the democratic vote we had. I feel this has been the case since the vote.

Now there's talk of a second referendum, something they clearly stated would never happen, yet here we are, and what are the chances the next vote will be rigged somehow.
Well at least its made me rule out ever voting tory .... hopefully brexit has finally finished them as a few crumbs of the masters
table isn't a good enough reason to vote for the lying self serving ,crony capitlist enabling ,middle class fking , don't give a st about free enterprise,small government or personal responsibility shower of tts ...

You sound a bit unhinged.

You’re not going to vote for them ever again AND you want the party to be destroyed? hehe

The conservatives next election might be very different to this lot. Like any party, they’re not set in stone but are fluid and constantly evolving.

The Labour Party is unrecognisable now to the one in 1996. Compare conservatives under Thatcher to that of today.

All the parties need a good shake up though. The current political landscape in the UK apparently isn’t working for a lot of people.
Any party that alows someone like May or Corbyn to lead for as long as they both have doesn't deserve the trust of the voting public...

The danger is people who would normally vote Tory simply don't vote at all or vote for a Brexit party. I imagine Labour would pick up quite a few seats as a result.
A lot of Remainers will be tactically voting to do the most damage to the Tories.
A lot of leavers will also be voting tactically to do the most damage to the Tories
I seriously think only a no deal Proper brexit will save us from a Corbyn government ..

I think the Tories have space to be even worse than they are currently and still remain in power, as long as the Corbyn / McDonnell dream team remain in place. I can’t see the UK positively voting for a socialist government whose goal is to end capitalism.
I wish that I had your confidence, I’ve seen too many “no chancers” slide into the home plate on GE day, to feel safe from the British proletariat consigning us to years of misery, that will have the public begging for Margaret Thatcher to be disinterred.
I've bought a donkey jacket and will be looking for a nice public sector job furious ,
May has fubard everything she has touched and the tories have let her do it , fk the lot of them I say !! what happens next will be their fault and only their fault ...self serving load of parasites ...
