Ed was weak. Granted he wasn't scared to come down and talk to us working class folks but he just didn't have the strength of character to take it forward.

I voted for Corbyn and I'd do it again. He was pegged as a Communist and an anti-semite by the media but that was just a paid campaign by the Tories. If you ever went to hear him talk, or watch the actual full interviews then he was all about building in Britain -- infrastructure, jobs, and economy.

I am the result of a labour economy. Free healthcare and recuperation programs as long as my arm. If it wasn't for that then I would have been pushed over the edge. I'd happily pay in 40/50% back if I earned enough.

A fellow Labour man! We sent over some of our campaigners to help both Ed and Corbyn. I liked Ed alot and thought he was good but like you said didn't have the strong will to carry it across. I think a missed opportunity with him. Although I believe Ed came from a right faction.

Corbyn is good and yes they did paint him as a communist, Torries are scared of losing their footing to local jobs. Yes shits more expensive making it locally but sovereignty is important. Look at the shit the world is in with everything made in China. Lockdown has caused barriers across all sectors.

Unfortunately Boomers fell in love with Brexit and a bygone era. They hated Corbyn because he wanted to make things locally but followed a Torrie to Brexit to make things locally, but Torries aren't about making things locally.

Current politics is broken, campaign trails are tough because everyone says the same thing but their vote goes elsewhere. Plus I think you fellas have a first past the post and the past elections were done on a working day so people got in late.

To be honest, everyone was fixated on Trump a lil too much and Boris flew totally under the radar. A bloke with a lack of skills and pure luck to get into downing Street. Also, no one wanted to lead Brexit because it is fucked and they'll be remembered as the leader that fucked the UK.

Hard times a head, also you don't need to pay 40/50% tax. Corporations and church's need to pay their share and there would he plenty of cash to build infrastructure and projects and support health care.

Boris didn't even have a working manifesto until a couple of days before the Election. This goes to show the sheer ignorance of the people that were voting him in. I honestly give up. I'm trying hard not to judge lol

Likewise in Australia, the Torries literally had no platform, no mandate and no agenda yet got in. Betting agencies had them as the loosers. Everyone thought they were going to lose.

It just goes to show no one puts thought into voting spin campaigns and scare campaigns work best. We've had the worst pandemic, fire seasons natural disasters on record under the tarries and no support and everything has failed..

Labor states have had to pick it up, but no one knows where the money is going to come from to get us through it all. It's sad
