No surprise there then

Act 2 of the labour party comedy show...expect lots more mirth...for the onlookers, sad for labour supporters who want to do more than go on protest marches.

[ChillDoubt]

Good luck in uniting the party JC, you're gonna need it!

[Ninefingers]

The Tories and the SNP can rejoice, they can continue the politics of mediocrity without a challenge. Sad that the UK has so many feeble politicians that real politics has come to this!!

[dannyk13]

I can't quite see Ms May as being feeble.

## Good luck in uniting the party JC, you're gonna need it! ##

What Party, didn't think they had one anymore?

[anotheoldgit]

Hopefully, now that the Tory party can look forward to many years in power, I wonder what party in the future, will become the official opposition party?

[THECORBYLOON]

Surely you'd want UKIP in power?

[youngmafbog]

Yes, well you simply dont really get it do you?

Many people backed UKIP because of the EU. We now have a Brexit vote so UKIP will need to realign itself to whatever, until it does most will return too the Tories providing May delivers.

JC now has a real problem on his hands and on tv we have Mcdonnell saying they must on board talent. Well that's him gone then!

[Baldric]

Corbyn, the gift that just keeps giving!

[Old_Geezer]

All that's needed to reunite the party is for the local parties to select candidates that more closely match the members' position. After that it is a case of convincing the public that they have surely had enough of the right in control and that their left policies will work better for society.

/// After that it is a case of convincing the public that they have surely had enough of the right in control and that their left policies will work better for society. ///

And how do you think they can possibly do that, spouting their far-left rhetoric under Jezza?

[Old_Geezer]

Why couldn't they ? Most workers are aware that all the aces are held by the employers these days and the workers get pushed around. Sooner or later that will start to shift allegiances without any special effort on the part of politicians.

Corbyn has now been overwhelmingly elected for the second time, in an year, by an even bigger margin. Pure democracy at work. We can't keep having elections until a nice middle-of-the-road candidate is elected.

Mrs May is one of the most reactionary Tory PMs we had for many years. Instead of fighting amongst themselves. the Opposition should be fighting her and her policies.

I agree with Andy Burnham, when he was interviewed on the Today Program this morning.....the Parliamentary Labour Party should either back him, or shut up altogether.

[DTCwordfan]

R.I.P Labour Party....Gaskell and Bevan must be rolling in their graves

[bhg481]

Perhaps it will lead to a revival of the Lib-Dems; disillusioned Labour voters won't vote Tory so who else are they going to vote for?

[Jackdaw33]

God forbid! Give me Corbyn anytime.

[mikey4444]

People have written off the Labour Party many times before.

I am not sure if AB was here, the months leading up to the 1997 Election, but I dare say that the usual suspects ( not you DTC ! ) were predicting all doom and gloom back then and desperately hoping that the truly awful Major was going to win. I would loved to have debated with them then !

Instead, the Labour Party, until Blair, swept the Tories aside in one of the biggest landslide victories of all time.

So I take a large wheelbarrow of salt when any doom merchants predict the demise of Labour.

\\\\\Instead, the Labour Party, until Blair, swept the Tories aside in one of the biggest landslide victories of all time. \\\\

Exactly.......but where is the Labour Party going to find another Blair?

[mikey4444]

BHG....the LibDems signed their death warrant the day that Clegg and Cameron exchanged vows in the Rose Garden of Number Ten, in the summer of 2010, and there is zero sign that they will amount to any kind of political threat to the Tories, or Labour anytime soon.

The Libdems forgot that to sup with the Devil, you need a very long spoon indeed.
