Not with Comrade Jezza,
friend of Hamas and Hezbollah, at the helm.
Speaking of Brexit, Corbyn missed the opportunity to invite Remainers to vote Labour by
committing to Brexit. His support for the Remain campaign was always quite tepid, and I suspect he may be a closet Brexiter anyway.
the system favours the Tories (first past the post by constituency), and the Tories have deeper pockets
What really screws Labour is the strength of SNP in Scotland. That used to be some of their most reliable areas.
(and are not averse to cheating).
Like what?
Add in the tabloid press being owned by people who will gain far more from the insane economic policies of the Cons than they gain from having basic services and proper funding of things like the NHS, and it will be a close run thing.
Not to mention reopening unprofitable coal mines (both Corbyn and Trump love coal, weird) or nationalizing the railways.
I expect the Tories to win a small majority; and that as a result, the current bad times (for which they are mostly to blame) will seem like a golden age in comparison to the nightmare to come.
Aren't the polls predicting more than a small majority? In any case, the worse Labour does in these elections (which Corbyn had to agree to, since they are ahead of schedule), the better for Labour's long term prospects, as an abysmal performance would give the party a reason to sack their radical leader.
I sincerely hope that Labour can pull off an unlikely win, and start to repair some of the damage caused by the insane policy of 'austerity'. But I doubt that the voting public are any less stupid now than they were in the recent past, so the turkeys will once again vote for Christmas.
As long as they vote to abolish Thanksgiving.
