Talk:2024 United Kingdom general election (Porvenir)/@comment-35244253-20190527163342/@comment-35244253-20190528201225

1. The Brexit Party isn't fascist lmfao. That's like me calling the Democrats communists. They're the equivalent of the 2012 GOP really policy wise, but with a penchant for rallying. Alan is right, Farage left UKIP because it became a right-wing neo nazi party. They collapsed soon after. Labour are beating the Tories. But as of right now, seat projections don't even have him coming near a majority, despite beign the opposition against one of the most unpopular leaders in British history. John Major was slightly more popular than May, but Tony B(liar) was at least a competent leader, and was rewarded by the electorate. This will not change with an actual charismatic candidate, like Boris.

The last time a recession happened, Gordon Brown lost Labour's majority. However, it was a hung parliament. David Cameron could not get a majority, let alone a landslide victory. Cameron was about 10x the better politician (NOT LEADER) than Brown was.

Of course they both aren't the same thing, but landslides are only possible in the UK when the losing side are incredibly incompetent and robotic, and the reverse for the victors. Corbyn is slightly more charismatic than May, but he's nothing compared to Boris. He also doesn't know how to lead a party.

2. The article you linked was from 2017. This was from March. of course it is simply an article, but tensions in Labour are rising, this time from Corbyn's left and right. No leader is going to survive this Brexit fiasco. Corbyn might not be gone this week, or even the next few years, but he won't run in 2022 and will probably be replaced by a more youthful candidate. The world has changed since 1894, and standards have changed for leaders compared to Victorian era ones. It's like saying an independent can win in 2020 if George Washington did.

No need to be condescending, btw. I actually live in this environment daily so I think I have a pretty good idea too. I get that you like socialists but they can't always win by such huge margins.
