The next thing will be everyone saying "OMG the Tories got pounded in the local elections", yes, of course they will, the government of the day normally does.

funny you say that, last week there was an article predicting Labour loses across the country, and apparently they are expected to be heavily defeated in Scotland with talk of them coming behind the Tories expect them to win London Mayor though, it has a natural lean to the left and i dont think Goldsmith has done enough (and got it to dirty politics too)

Then why has it got a tory mayor now ?? Khan will win it because he has played the son of immigrants/muslim/ethnic card , he had doreen lawrence campaigning with him the other day.

I can't understand how so many intelligent people can get excited by party politics. Zack Goldsmith is a goon as well as being a spoilt little rich kid. To vote for him would be unthinkable. Yet Labour have plenty of their own dopes who are anchored in 1970s campus uni politics and think you can solve issues by shouting slogans and going on demonstrations.

A plague on both your houses! As some brummie once said.

its pretty clear that London is Labour leaning, they have 45 out of 73 MPs. Boris won from combination of personality and a change from Livingston.

I disagree on the latter point. Boris mainly won because he campaigned, and picked up many votes, in the outer boroughs which are much less left. Livingstone largely focussed on zone 1. This is where the last election was won and lost.

You should concentrate on your own back yard and stop interfeering in UK politics

I see Sadiq Khan has called for Ken Livingstone to be kicked out of the Labour party over all their anti semitism problems. All getting very messy and nasty amongst the comrades.

He's been suspended!

And excellent news for the tories - who'd vote for a party with anti-semitism at its core

 

[Pavilionaire]

Of course Ken Livingstone has been suspended - a leader with charisma, intelligence and realism has no place in the Labour Party.

100% this. Unfortunately we now basically have no third option and no progressive politics. It's like choosing between being punched in the face or kicked in the balls.

Who? Me?

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

So basically what you're essentially calling for is a one party state and all the corruption that comes with having no effective opposition.

Or something less pessimistic. Coalition, means multiple parties working together. No one mentioned a one party state.

 

[sydney]

Who? Me?

yes sausage..... you , thread starter and political agitator that you are.....you scally wag you.

 

[Chicken Run]

Not another classic HT **** up I hope!
Labour's candidate for Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has warned that the anti-Semitism row engulfing his party has harmed his chances of being elected.
