I think the damage has already been done. Labour will do well in the big cities but with the electoral map now redrawn it would take a seismic shift for them to make any inroads in the shires.dorsetdano wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 9:49 am The biggest mistake they made in Hartlepool was putting up a candidate that was an arch Remainer in a constituency that was one of the biggest Brexit supporting areas. They thought that because Hartlepool had once accepted a patsy candidate (Peter Mandelson - the guacamole kid), they'd accept another one.
The only way Labour can be saved would be by picking someone who is still connected with real people. If they put Burnham in now, they may make some kind of recovery. If they leave it, Boris will bury them. It's a shame because strong governments only work well, when there is a credible opposition; otherwise they get greedy and corrupt.

Labour are now only supported by young kids and minorities who have ironically never done a days labour in their lives. They are a party for metropolitan London run by middle class hypocrites who have no clue about northern working people's lives.
Once they actually start to work and pay tax they change allegiance as they strangely don't want their tax money used for gender neutral toilets and Trans therapy projects and actually care if our submarines are systematically disarmed.
And before anyone gets on their bandwagon. I am not transphobic but I want my tax money to go to fixing the fucking pot holes in my roads first please.
Students and professional agitators who'll jump at any cause. And you're absolutely correct about changing tack when the real world beckons.
I remember my daughter telling me the day after the referendum result. She was at Glastonbury. She'd voted in advance but was the only one in her group. The rest of them were almost in tears.
5 years on, one of them, a girl I know, voted Conservative in 2019 and her career in pharmaceuticals is progressing nicely.
There's a village near me that has fuck all there other than a Spar Stores and a pub. But it's the home of a well-known local professional tosser and left-wing agitator. I won't mention his name because Big Brother may be watching.h69 wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 10:24 amI believe they are called NIMBYs.....talk a good game but Not In My BackYard son.palerider wrote: ↑Mon May 10, 2021 9:35 am

A traditional Labour voter couldn't vote for any labour leader other than because it's what they've always done. And what their parents always did.
Labour now are London-bubble so-called intellectuals not giving a toss about the problems of the working class in places like Hartlepool where the big issues are crime, jobs and out of control immigration.
If you had a Party for the normal working class,they'd piss any election.
Labour was meant to be the party for the worker,that backed the unions.I work for a big Supermarket Chain in Distribution who made Millions in the pandemic,but we were given 1.7% last year and 2%..The union said it was in balance with others like those in the NHS and other public sectors..I let my feeling be known that I wasn't happy.
