There seems to be a lot of stuff on here crowing about the death of the left in the UK from the usual sources, but I feel the opposite, if anything. If those on here are anything to go by, their result is being propped up by the sort of people who could be easily swayed by soundbites about something they had made into a 'big bad thing'. Ironic that the Soccermans of this world are likely voting in tune with the halfwit benefit scroungers who have England tattoos and the like. I would suspect that the engaged amongst the younger generations, who weren't able to vote this time, aren't exactly thrilled with the current leaders who continue to ignore things that matter to them like climate change in order that some old folks can have a blue passport.
So, unless Cummings or his puppet can keep coming up with some big bad foreigners to scare everyone with so they continue to vote against their own interests, and if Labour can find someone who isn't so widely loathed (I still don't understand why there was such a level of hatred for Corbyn; yes, there are plenty of question marks, but certainly no more than there are for the idiot who was preferred), then this will likely go back to being a centre right leaning country that will spend more time under Tory control than Labour, but will periodically elect socialist governments, as some of the xenophobic old duffers, the likes of which are making the silly little "I'm a winner" posts on here, die off, and the aforementioned feckless racists who turned out this time lose interest once more.
Even faster if Brexit turns out to be a disaster; I would say if Johnson does something truly stupid or wrong, but even that seems to not matter anymore, so I have to assume he will continue to be Teflon in that regard.
