Thread Name: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Btw.. Keith - "SPB, Labour has done much worse than previous leading opposition parties in mid term elections, presaging a very low result in the general election.
Labour should have made large gains and the government large losses.
You should also have expected a boost from a new leader, from a government civil war on Europe and a budget that is an ongoing fiasco, yet Labour barely "held on."


..so.. regarding predictions of how well or badly labour lead by Corbyn have done...

At this point in the early 21st Century, the world is such an entirely different mess of complex reactionary conditions...

.. and Corbyn does not exist in a vacuum...

Any sensible observer / participant should be very wary of making predictions...
