Boab Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I hope you're right, as a trade union member too, I hope you're right, I think you're wrong mind, I think Corbyn will be pulled this way and that by McClusky and co'. That's what Vic and I are saying though, bud, Len, for example does not have anything like the clout someone like Mick Mc Gahey had. Different times.

No. Corbyn is comitted to a similar but more functional course. His whole political life has been based on the belief that the Labour Party should be organised and run from the grass roots of the party. That will continue but the input of the trade unions will never replicate that of old. The grass roots are no longer consisted of the numbers of traditional trade union worshipping workforces of industries. The industries either no longer exist, are greatly diminished or have moved past the grip of the unions. People don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnrazor Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 That's what Vic and I are saying though, bud, Len, for example does not have anything like the clout someone like Mick Mc Gahey had. Different times. I agree that the Unions don't have the power they did, but there's not been a left wing Labour government in power to give them it, under Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott I'm not sure they'd not be allowed to become overly powerful again?

luckydug Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I put a bet on Tory Majority of 49-74. Delighted to lose if less. Gutted if more. Certainly don't want May getting to do as she pleases with a huge majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please not but.I can't call it!! Could be you're right but I don't THINK it'll be such a big margin, I think the SNP will loose seats but not that many.Who ever wins, especially if, unlikely I know, that there are people who live and work in the countryside and not in a city.

Captain Sausage Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Disarray everywhere. Obviously exit polls are a stab in the dark, so I'll take them with a pinch of salt. However, it looks like... May has shafted herself by taking the electorate for granted. Meanwhile, Sturgeon has lost almost half her seats! Overall I couldn't be happier with how that's turned out. Brexit will have to be agreed by a cross party review and the arse has fallen out of the Scottish National Party vote. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess The Crowd Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Shortly after the election was called, I read an article on the potential winnings for a bet on Labour retaining every one out of approximately 20 (marginal) seats.
