Imagine that. If you go out of your way to present absolutely no vision for a better future and instead side with Tories repeatedly, you won't inspire anyone to vote for you.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Push for voter reform and you can have my vote otherwise I dont believe you want what is best for the country just whats best for your party. Make as much noise as you like I don't care.
This is exactly right IMO. The system is obviously broken. Well done for manipulating it so you win, but if you don't fix it we'll be here again in no time, probably in an even worse situation.
Why does he do everything he can to encourage apathy then? Fucking Tory.
Maybe present yourself as something other than a friend slightly less shit version of the Tories then.
They had a leader who advocated for de-privatisation and taxation of the rich and they went out of their way to sabotage him.
This is not a plea to keep the Tories out of power. This is a plea to ensure a Labour majority. Tories are out either way. This will only sell to hurt other parties.
I wouldn't be so sure on that. In 1992 it was considered that Labour under Neil Kinnock would easily win the election that year but the nation was reluctant as memories of the 70's remained. History could repeat itself. Labour needs to try harder if they want to win. The Tories could still hoodwink the nation yet again.
