that the UK could be goiverned by a Cabinet comprised of Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott and Thornberry.

41%. Consider that for a moment. 41%.

If that doesn't scare the living bejesus out of you, you're a stronger man than I.

As Luis Anaconda showed us, there is part of that 41% that would not have voted for Labour had they thought there was any chance of Corbyn being elected. How much is hard to say but I'm guessing it isn't small.

Still, even a third of the country voting for that incompetent halfwit is pretty frightening.

I know this might be hard to believe, but perhaps they voted for labour because the policy's they suggested were in fact better than the ones the Tory party want...... helping the poor, more Police, better care for the disabled and elderly, taxing people who earn over 80k a year more...... perhaps that is why they younger people wanted to vote for them, and others are fed up with a party trying to steamroll the population with unpopular policy's

It isn't that 41% of the population are mental, which is what certain people on here suggest

Yeah, in a civilised country, it really shouldn't make any difference who the leaders are. For the people, I mean.

It's not supposed to be like Zimbabwe or somewhere.

That is the the really scary bit, Yes. One must assume it was mostly young people, from whom one can only expect irresponsible idiocy. It's the grown-ups who voted for him who scare me.

The younger people would've most likely been voting for two reasons. Brexit backlash and university fees. Let's not pretend young people give a **** about anyone but themselves.

Labour's campaigning in my area was ridiculous. Apart from all the leaflets I received, even last night they put more through my door and were knocking on the door, At the train station they stuck their leaflets in my face.

Aggressive campaigning. Worked as they won Enfield Southgate and now Bambos is in.

I would suggest that most people that vote don't give a **** about anyone but themselves

'Policies', old chap. It's the plural form you seek. 'Policy's' would be the singular possessive. :thumbup:

Same for grown-ups, to be fair. As B said, the difference is at least youngsters have an excuse.

Yes, the grown-ups have been letting the side down for ages. They needed to believe in the right things and then do those things and most importantly, make a tangible success out of those things. Too many did not and so have lost all credibility.

Rather than a cabinet of Hunt, Davies and Fox? All led by someone who showed utter contempt to the people throughout the campaign? Not hard to work out where they ****ed it up really is it

I'm afraid it's worse than that. Surely you have to add the SNP and Sinn Fein votes to that at least?

I suspect even Boris would have fared better than Theresa May, at least he has some character and whatsit about him. May is as bland as cardboard.

Right. It's Heseltine and Major all over again.
