This bit offers hope Jack - the rest is huff imo, remember that the new Labour gov't will likely have the SNP and LibDems in tow so nothing can be guaranteed.


Any coalition will depend on an EU stance. Our financial sector is bleeding out because of the uncertainty.


You won't go with Tories again - nor of course will the SNP. With luck sensible non-Tory heads will prevail.

We won't go with Labour either unless they sort themselves out over the EU not that a lot of the membership give a monkeys.

Mungo asked earlier why we gained so many local council seats and it's because we are really good at local government and actually get results. My last LD MP (Adrian Sanders) was at heart a fantastic constituency MP who sat on some committees but was mainly for the people of the area before anything else, he still remains a fully committed local councillor and that to me is the problem.

As a party, we need to actually need to push national issues and solutions rather than worry about a public toilet being shut down.

No "going with" may be necessary - you will support what is in line with your policies. One can easily imagine a scenario of an SNP/Labour coalition with the LibDems playing along as and will. Personally I don't care what combination is able to reverse Brexit if it is at all possible.

As to your national position, you need to find something that distinguishes you from right-wing Labour. All you have at the moment is that you are not perceived as the mouthpiece of the unions - and that is not enough. If Labour ever ditch their labour movement connection - something I've wanted for decades - then you may as well merge.

Labour don't appear to want to stop brexit, Momentum certainly doesn't. We need to be more like right-wing Labour, things weren't utter shit then.

No we don't - Tory Lite solves Brexit (if the Massive agree) but bugger all else. We need, and will always need, representatives that don't suck rich man's cock.

Labour are same as the Democrats now, the party of wealthy liberals and minorities.

Working class people in the U.S. don't vote left, or in Northern Ireland, won't for much longer here either I don't think.

Look at all the divided ghettoised towns we have now especially in NW England, mini Ulsters.

In multi-ethnic countries people vote on the basis of race not class.

Blair opened the floodgates, Labour brought it on themselves, they got their cheap foreign labour, screwed over their working-class voters and acted as if what they did was virtuous, set of "see you next Tuesdays".

Be more like Norman Lamb
He relentlessly pursued this Gosport scandal, and was rightly praised in parliament today.
