QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jun 10 2017, 07:21 AM) Lessons learned...
1. Leader of party has to be charasmatic 2. Manifesto is important. Juat make some uncosted sh1t up 3. People like free stuff 4. Do not take people for granted 5. Get celebrity "endorsements" from multi millionaire tax evaders like Linekar on twitter and facebook 6. Election is now presidential. Even if you have people that are incompetent in your team this does not matter Do keep up, that's just how Mrs May got into this mess - seriously. The biggest lesson all three major parties are learning is that your biggest threats and biggest enemies are close and around you.

She also failed to offer anything other than austerity and misery. Let's just hope that the result is we remain in the single market one way or another. The election was a good thing for the country. The people have spoken.

Snappy slogan, that's the key. Something like; "Corduroy rules", linen drools? Or, "IRA, knowingly misrepresented?" Or they could offer free classes in knitting with cabbage stalks, my favourite would be to join sinn fein, if they win they simply never need to turn up for work!. Offer them new Utopia, say everything is going to be 'new' and 'exciting' oh, and try to slip the words 'social justice' in somewhere. That'll work. My favourite of course is "lie to the many, not the few". Job done.

Spot on; like the lie they used to believe about success in life was via a University degree followed by a career with a good firm who paid you enough to buy a reasonably decent home and a fair pension when you retire Yeah, fell for that one didn't they!

Yeah, fell for that one didn't they! Good firm? Enterprise is to be taxed out of existence. If you've got a company you're rich! That's not allowed. No ambition will be allowed. Everyone will be at the same level and labour intend to set a very low bar. Why go to uni? Get a good job and pay more tax, there's motivation for you!

Will you ever be happy? The Tories "won" the election, you won the Brexit vote, you've got a racist in the White House yet you're still moaning. I pity your poor wife.

I pity your poor wife. All talk and no trousers. You make me sick. Oh the poor refugees... Yeah I also feel sorry for them but I dont bang on about it cos I dont want them living with me. You want them to be looked after by someone else. Hyp O Cryte. Think I'll start calling you Lilly.

Everyone will be at the same level and labour intend to set a very low bar. Why go to uni? Get a good job and pay more tax, there's motivation for you! Yes, but you Tory boys have done that. Stuffed the Country by selling absolutely everything. Few 'brain' jobs in the UK anymore. Even your mate Osbo was running scared in the end, all those comments about 'we've got the jobs now we need to get wages up'. No wonder Cameron said we are the socialists now - all the workers low pay and no prospects. So, Labour's life long learning makes much sense, as they recover our business, we'll need properly trained workers. Ambition should be rather more than milking assets you are supposedly stewarding, floating off round the Med and leaving HMG to pick up the pieces. Sure, that might appeal to a small percentage of the electorate; but then you tend to loose elections!

Err, it seems to be pretty easy to do one when you think you CAN win too! Again, the next Tory one will be facinating too. Will be,interesting to see what hunting and demrnture tax is called....
