Unlikely, as they're​ still stuck in the 'New' Labour/Milliband days so would have been tarred with the same brush that cost Labour at the last two elections. I think the new leadership is helping people realise there is actually a different approach to Conservative/Conservative light.

You're OK with the conservatives teaming up with a party that are pro anti abortion & have blocked same sex marriage?

It's OK for the following?

DUP politician Trevor Clarke last year said he thought only gay people could contract aids and HIV.

Go Jezza the people have spoken as for the DUP they are more right wing than the Tory's.

From todays comments in the Spectator:
Says it all really, well put.

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

Good to see that Labour was not alone in not being fiscally sound in its manifesto. I'm amazed so many Conservatives attacked Corbyn's spending plans when theirs were uncosted. Believable.

CF poll was quite close to the actual outcome.

A bit harsh I thought ! I'm beginning to quite like her, she's a socialist at heart, must be... ;)

Lets hope Jimmy Krankie quits.

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

Highly unlikely. The cult is so brainwashed they're all swallowing the "we won the election in Scotland" line at the moment, plus of course there's the small problem of there being nobody to replace her.

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

Thought you would be pleased, just watching the news and Corbyn reckons he won?

In the same way Liverpool won the premier league and Hitler won the war.

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

Yep, he reckons he won just like he reckons he never attended all those terrorist meetings, just like John McDonnell reckons he never went to a fee paying school and just like Dianne Abbott reckons she was too ill to vote and do an interview. What is it with Labour and the truth?

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

Quite honestly, this election has been a disaster for everyone pretty much.

Teresa May because she lost the majority that Cameron somehow against all the odds in 2015 secured
Corbyn because whilst doing so much better than I and many polls predicted didn't win the election
Sturgeon because the incessant banging on about a second Scottish independence referendum drove voters away to the Scottish Tories
Nuttall & Farage because UKIP is now pretty much finished as a political party, in all honesty once the Leave result last year won UKIP should had disbanded

In fact, only the DUP seem to have been the big winners out of this election, finding themselves effectively in government, even if there's no official coalition or confidence and supply agreement between them. However, I cannot see this lasting for a full 5 years now so I am 90% sure we will be having the election by 2020. Also probably without May as leader of Tories.

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

I'll be surprised if May is still leader at the end of 2017, nevermind 2020. She screwed up big time.

Re: The 2017 General Election
 

l think you have summed it up perfectly even for Conservative voters as her campaign was a utter disaster from start to finish and even though she had many chances to get out from the looming iceberg on the horizon she had neither the political skills or nous to prevent the oncoming collision.

As l say l am no fan of Corbyn but compared to May he was in a different league campaigning wise in the election as Theresa May seem to have a contemptuous disregard for the electorate in that her plan was to do nothing and expect a landslide at the end of it.

There should have never been a election to start with and whoever advised her to do that should tender their resignation forthwith as it was a clear cynical move for her own electoral advantages that Joe Public quite clearly saw through.

The Conservatives had learned nothing from the Referendum campaign in that negative campaigning does not work as the public are not stupid and see through these things and they saw through that and her media newspaper supporters and their daily running scare stories.

The Conservatives never really set out their own clear plans and when they did announce their manifesto it was a absolutely clear unmitigated disaster whilst Corbyns manifesto seem to go down well even with non Labour supporters so the signs were there.

As we know the rest is history.
