London Wanderer Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I reckon Labour have a decent chance of winning the next election under Burnham. Farage certainly won’t want to fight him & will throw everything at this by-election. It’s gonna be very tight. Wrong of Starmer not to allow him to stand earlier in the year. If the by-election fails then it’ll be chaos for Labour Quote
Dimron Posted May 15 Posted May 15 4 hours ago, BobyBrno said: Assuming Burnham does get selected to be the Labour candidate in Makerfield, it seems around 76,000 people could determine the selection of the next or even future Prime Minister. If Burnham wins, he’ll probably win an election contest whithin Labour. If Reform wins a seat that has always been Labour, I doubt anyone could stop Reform winning the next GE. Anyway I thought this was funny😊 it seems around 76,000 people could determine the selection of the next or even future Prime Minister 140,000 Conservative Party members decided Liz Truss should become PM... democracy at it's best (not) Quote

Only in so far as calling for a general election is basically Point A of the pointless political playbook. Has anyone, ever, called an election because someone on Twitter asked them to? ”Listen here, an opposition MP from a party with 6 members in the house says we need a GE, better get on with it” it’s irrelevance is it’s relevance, I guess.

mickbrown Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Pretty sure he’s also said if you cross the house there should be a by-election. The massive twat Quote

Reform are not a ‘shoe in’ Labour had a shadow cabinet that I thought was worse than the incumbent Tories. That was my opinion whether you or others like it or not. Reform have 8 MP’s. About a third of a governing cabinet. I am not concerned about them. You and the other Labour faithful are. Why you are going down this pointless route I’m not sure but it’s Friday.😉 Quote
Winchester White Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Come on Spider, you know full well everyone is on a reset and all previous Tory support is null and void. All their excellent predictions of a new Thatcher, Churchill, a lettuce, and some rich Indian fella is all tip top (and he was born here and the best of the lot!l) Did you not get the Farage memo? Losing your memory is all the rage you know? Quote

You criticise Labour 99% of the time. In power or not. I’m sure once they’re out of power your focus will still be them. After all this time it’s just dead obvious, that’s all. It’s your thing, I get it. As you’ve said previously, you e voted for 3 different parties but never the reds. I get accused of all sorts when I display any sort of indecision, you need to watch out for Bolty and his Sword of Righteousness. 😊 Quote

It’s a riposte I assumed was beneath you to be honest, but there we go. To clarify, you have previously said you’ve voted for 3 parties. Quote
