There won't be elections anymore in 2025, by then we'll have degenerated so far leaders are elected after winning death matches armed with nothing but smashed Pimms bottles

May confirms she really is Emperor Palpatine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpatine . Imperial stormtroopers are sent to hunt down Obi Wan Corbyn and the rebel alliance
I'd make a cheeky wager on Dave Miliband making a return at some point.
Best get practicing his bacon sandwich eating.
He's no match for Ed, he'll need his own party trick.
He could try being a competent public speaker, that'll really create some waves.

..... and with their current internal squabbling and general chaos Labour are making themselves even less electable. As has been said the Tories will not need to worry about losing an election for decades.Quote:

Quite why they think they are behind the scenes political fixers I don't know.
I've worked all my life, as has my wife and my three adult kids are all working and none of us have been asked to join a union.
The only family member I know was my Dad, who was a member of RUBSSO - the Rossendale Union of Boot, Shoe and Slipper operatives who's reps caved in (some say were paid off to roll over) and oversaw a gradual erosion of employment rights and loss of jobs.
There's 100s of 1000s of particularly young workers who do not understand their rights, have no idea how to deal with management and have no help.
Instead of trying to bring down the government of the day, they should be trying to support those in work, whether union members or not.
Well said, WP, surprising how many folk you speak to (generally employed in low paid retail work) who think they're not allowed to be a member of a Union, a misunderstanding which I think is generally fuelled/ helped along by management, when I served my time, the Union reps almost press-ganged you into joining, now they seem to be invisible or gainfully employed in feathering their own nests.Quote:
