One point I am surprised nobody bother to point out during the recent election. It has to do with that "great" manifesto put out by the Labour Party.

If you look at the timeline of it you can easily see why it was such an appealing manifesto.

Election called 18th April 2017
Labour Manifesto leaked (On purpose) 11th May 2017
Labour Manifesto officially launched 16th May 2017

Throughout those weeks at no time at all was it ever considered that Labour would have an earthly chance on polling day - so they could put anything that would have a "popular" appeal into their "manifesto of empty and undeliverable promises" because they would never be called upon to deliver on any of those promises.

It was traditional Labour votes and Labour voters that carried the Leave vote in the UK and by the time the election ticked round, what with Article 50 being triggered they thought quite reasonably that Leave and Brexit was a done deal - so they reverted to their old voting habits.

The result was terrific for Corbyn - but he didn't win - the Conservatives are still the largest party at Westminster - and we, as a country, have still to see Brexit implemented and carried through. Corbyn and Labour will do their utmost to derail that so just watch what happens with the Trades Unions and "industrial" relations in the coming months. Not too fussed about it as if they do as I think they will they will only succeed in shooting themselves in the foot.

By the way Iains is perfectly correct, the ramifications of pushing through Comrade Corbyn's scheme would be greatly negative for the country and it would not solve the problem being faced.
