The Politics Thread 3.0

[Moggy]

Moggy has already said he's no fan of Corbyn

That's an understatement. I think usually my posts on Corbyn are along the lines of "he's a banana split".

To be fair to Eighty, he voted Green in the election. So he supports free university education just like Uncle Jeremy.

The problem with suggesting the Tories haven't backtracked on lies is that they've told more lies than any political party in modern history.

Every major party should be held to account, but none of them are likely to overtake in the pure filthy lie stakes.

Hmm, I actually think "New Labour" set the standards when it comes to that sort of thing. That's partly why there has been such a push from the grassroots to move back to the left.

Corbyn didn't say he'd get rid of tuition fee debt, nor was it in the manifesto. To say anything otherwise is to deliberately lie.
Now I know that's what Tories do, but for anyone to fall for that propaganda is idiotic. Then not to question the party actually in power who have abandoned manifesto pledge is to utterly take leave of your senses

[Denster]

Corbyn alluded to clearing the debt and one labour mp outright said they'd get rid of it. To say they haven't misled or or misrepresented what they were going to do is nonsense. As for the Tories going back. They removed unpopular policies that were unworkable. A world of difference between that and Labour going back on something they strongly alluded to, and linked to a manifesto promise that pretty much won them the young demographic vote.
Saying it doesn't matter because they weren't elected is a massive cop out.

The world of difference being that one party dropped pretty much everything in their actual manifesto and the other party leader "alluded" (in your opinion) to something and one other MP said something that wasn't approved by the party leadership?

I agree there is a world of difference.

I hope Conservatives make the mistake in thinking Corbyn only won the younger generations' vote due to student fees, because if they do they're in for a big strawberry floating shock.

Didn't you see that that Labour MPs tweet got retweeted 125 times? That's massive mate, Labour voters obviously went into rapture over the idea.

Indeed, as a current student, I was well aware they weren't saying they were going to clear my debt.
If anything won the 'young demographic' vote, it was 'Option B: Anyone but the Conservatives'

I don't think you realise Moggy that she had over 20,000 followers. And all of those were undecided voters spread out in the exact constituencies that the Torys lost, and they all switched to Labour because of that one tweet that they all saw.

[That]

The right just can't work out why educated young people despise them, can they? They think if they just sling enough mud in the papers (that those young people don't read) eventually they'll come around. It's very funny.

You fail to understand that 125 retweets represents 10million votes. Stolen votes! Saint Theresa deserved those votes! She'd be unstoppable if only Labour hadn't lied a hell of a lot less than her party did.

It's just so unfair. I bet it was terrorists that voted for Corbyn.

[Denster]

You guys!

Those 125 people voting 80,000 times each . Another clear sign of electoral fraud. We must demand voter ID and proof of assets worth over £5m in order to vote!!

30 million people shitting on 60 million tits. Can you imagine?

Careful what you say, your words will probably be held up at the next election as a Labour promise.

Sure. However I would say that the importance of that pledge to the vote has been massively overblown by Tories. The truth is even without that pledge the Tories would have still done far worse than expected because they were so complacent.

It's worth stressing again that I didn't vote for Corbyn.
