Labour Meltdown?

[Khandro]

The question now is not whether Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party is fit to govern, but whether it is fit to contest an election.

These are truly extraordinary times. I can remember a number of occasions when major political parties simply fell apart – most commonly after a spectacular defeat – but never before in the opening days of a general election campaign.

It is impossible to exaggerate the political significance, not to say the emotional impact, of lifelong Labour stalwarts actually advising their supporters to vote Conservative: to commit, in effect, what would once have been seen as mortal sin.

This is not just a campaign mishap. It is a historic milestone in our national politics. The major Opposition party is no longer functional. The governing party – whatever your view of it – is the only credible one that can be supported.

Is anyone planning to vote Labour & if so, why?

At least there is a choice, if you want to choose between bonkers and outright insanity. I do so wish we had a none of the above option.

// Gromit, in your predictions have you taken into account that the Tories have gone into negotiations with Nigel Farage in the last few days. //

We now know there was no negotiation. Johnson said no to an Alliance, and Farage was forced to cave in.
Since I Predicted that the Brexit Party would get 0 (Zero seats) those can be distributed evenly between the Conservatives and Labour ;-)

But seriously, I reckon the withdrawal will both help and hinder both main parties. It might have an effect on one or two results, but nothing significant.
