120,000 deaths due to Austerity - Price worth paying?

And perhaps the most striking revelation is the Tories secured more votes amongst working class voters in the Midlands and the North who were formerly at the very heart of the Labour coalition.

Republicans have been doing that for decades. lol Getting working class voters voting against their own self interests.

Corbyns general election campaign was less effective at turning votes into parliamentary seats than any since the 1950s.

That's an interesting opinion.

Tell me, what percentage increase in Labour votes did Corbyn achieve over the previous General Election?

What percentage of the vote did Corbyn get in 2017, and how does that compare with the percentage of the vote that won Blair his landslide success in 1997?

True, despite how rubbish the Tory campaign was, labour ended over 50 seatd behind.

Ho Hum.......

....and yet you are still petrified. Baffling.

Its a fact.... unless you can prove otherwise.

Since I know you will be too frightened to say, here are the answers.

In 1997, Blair achieved a 8.8% swing from the Conservatives to Labour. He won 43.2% of the votes (13,518,167).
(from 34.3%, 11,560,484, in the 1992 election)

In 2017, Corbyn achieved a 9.6% swing. He won 40% of the votes (12,878,460).
(from 30.4%, 9,347,273 in the 2015 election)

So you were talking nonsense (as usual)

The cons won 42.4 of the votes (13,669,883) in 2017 and lost their majority.

Here's an easy question for you.

How much of a swing would Corbyn need to achieve to defeat the cons next time?

You didnt answer the question, just vomiting drivel as usual.

Why dont you post a picture of your favorite red bus, at least you can manage that.

Why are you petrified of Jezza?

I see notch is drunk (again) and rambling confused nonsense (again)

 

[Notch7]

No red bus this evening then?

 

[JohnD]

yep, drunk and rambling.

that would explain the nonsense he posted about Corbyn's gains.

A half-wit should have seen it coming. Notch didn't. Must be a quarter-wit.

 

[JohnD]

Can one of notch's buddies help him with arithmetic?

Transam? Woody? roger?

I'll give you a clue.

Total votes cast were 32,203,481

He needs an extra 791,424 votes in the unlikely event that none of the cons abstain, peg out or change sides.

Transam? Woody? roger?

First rule of politics is the ability to be able to count (Lyndon Baines Johnson) even a half wit should be able to under stand simplistic arithmetic ?

u seem unable to count ??? so u must be a quarter wit (may be )

 

[JohnD]

All right, I'll tell you.

Less than 2.5%

That's why notch, and the cons, are petrified.

Petrified of what ?
