8 Labour MP's quit party in protest of Leadership, Brexit and anti-semitism (update: 3 Conservative MPs quit to join Independent Group)
- Thread starter Thornton Reed
- Start date
The coalition enacted austerity and have killed upward of 120,000 people as a direct result.
They were, and are, garbage.
I do. Prior to this shambles I could likely walk around mine asking who Chris Leslie is and get blank stares across the board.
He got in on Labour's ticket
You don't buy the idea that the Tories had a momentary lapse of nastiness, and a few years later suddenly turned insane for no reason out of nowhere?
It would've of been worse without them! Even though it's stayed largely the same when they didn't have lib Dems to worry about.
They basically Torie light and seem fine with one of their members calling poc a funny tinge.
Ain't even lite, it's just minus brexit. Kinda funny chuka and co have given credence to the criticism about their leanings.
For a brief moment, with the LDs help, they managed to hide it better than they have in decades, while enacting some of the most grotesque policies in decades.
Yeah the more we hear about them this seems less like a centrist party and more just another right wing one.
If so, they splitting the vote might end up being far worse for the Tories than Labour next election (being incredibly generous and assuming they survive that long) despite Labour losing more MPs just now.
The Independent Business Group will ultimately be fucked under our FPTP system when the next election comes around. At least it'll be entertaining to see them trying their best to hide their "I've made a huge mistake" faces. In the meantime, I wish them luck in trying to tempt May into a People's Vote, but I'm not expecting her to budge.
I'm just enjoying Huw's bout of Stockholm syndrome, I remember the libdem's used to tell us how terrible it would be if they didn't go into coalition with them.
That is absolutely perfect, based on the current outlook at least
That's what I'd hope but I reckon they'd draw rather equally. Still to early to call really. For now I'm just hoping they manage to muffle the voices of the ERG types, put pressure on a softer brexit/another vote and make the 'right' politics in this country a bit more palatable.
Orange bookers destroyed the lib dems. Poor Charlie Kennedy.
They were positioned to the left of labour through the entirety of new labour then boom we love Tories now.
It's not even that minus Brexit! They have a vague commitment to a vote. If they were outright saying they would cancel the thing I could imagine them garnering some support. As it is, they are neither fish, flesh nor fowl.
I would call them lite due to Tories having crazies like Mogg in there. But it is only a funny tinge of lite
OP
OP
how many more tory Mp's would they need to trigger a GE, is it 7?
Rudd defecting would be massive. I can't see it though

Stealing this.
And this.
Excellent work all around.
What exactly are they trying to do, that couldn't have tried to be done while they were Labour / Tory MP's?
I'm not giving Corbyn a pass, it's just that really this time is just about wankers being salty blairites that have lost support from the voters and therefore defected into a Tory Lite party
I'd rather see non trash MPs but guess I was hoping for too much
Oh my god
Oh aye. It's their enemies that are mad about it! Chris Leslie is a cunt.
I thought you were questioning people on their constituencies, or did someone actually responding in the positive to your question deflate the point you were about to make?
The problem is this doesn't do anything. Just in the conference earlier today with the 3 tory quitters they said it themselves that their voting pattern won't change. If anything this just creates more distractions so nothing is actually solved, lol.
Iirc he was one who said he would never serve in a cabinet with Corbyn.
But why didn't Corbyn reach out!?
/Sarcasm
What is more insane
Random Independent group supporter telling me what Angela Smith said was her mimicking racists and not being racist.
Or Leslie saying they are out to get us?

The random tbh, Leslie is the biggest cunt of the lot closely followed by the man of 10,000 opinions.
Hey man she was just tired. We all say racist shit when we're knackered.
which is quite disgusting, I wish Labour would stop pandering to the racists and instead make the positive argument for immigration
