Is Labour About To Split?

Interesting assessment from Kuenssberg.

Rebels who leave tend to be small groups that get subsumed by the Liberals. Both major parties are at risk of having a few go.

[naomi24]

I doubt it.

[cassa333]

Maybe they could take Anna Sourby with them.

[ludwig]

A Labour split looks inevitable. It's just a question of who'll go and when.

[youngmafbog]

Seems to me there are a fair few 'middle ground' labour who should team up with a fair few 'middle ground' Tories. Neither side really gels with the current liberal party though. They are more Metropolitan liberal elite.

[dannyk13]

A strong third party would certainly benefit the country.

[agchristie]

The odd crack here and there but no split.

[Baldric]

As long as Labour/Labour Lite are kept out of power I don't care tbh.

[ludwig]

Sooner or later the left wing always splits between the angry extremists, and the ones that the angry extremists hate because they aren't angry or extreme enough.

[youngmafbog]

Unfortunatley due to Thersa the Appeaser and half her treacherous cabinet that is probably not like to be the case Baldric.

COB is very close to getting his hands on the keys to No 10.

Sure you aren't being a tad pessimistic? Latest polling is going against Labour rather.

I think that it is more than likely that not only Labour, but the Conservative party will come out of the Brexit "negotiations" farce with many, very disgruntled former supporters. The UK is ready for a third party to break the self serving swings and roundabouts game that the professional politicians have played with us for generations. No bad thing therefor. But....just very but, that is not all. Those same EU machinations during the "negotiations", aided and abetted by the shameless Remainiacs have weakened the very edifice that they are all in thrall to. As our main stream media outlets studiously ignore it and pretend it is not happening the pyramid scheme is coming apart at the seams.

//The European Council on Foreign Relations has predicted that Eurosceptics could win up to one-third of seats in the May European Parliament elections and that “anti-European” parties could align to undo the progressive, globalist European Project.
In its report, “How Anti-Europeans Plan to Wreck Europe and What Can Be Done to Stop It,” the ECFR, which was founded in 2007 with initial funding from George Soros’s Open Society Foundations, the researchers warn that a victory for pro-sovereigntists could result in the dismantling of the EU’s agenda, including, “abolishing sanctions on Russia to blocking the EU’s foreign trade agenda, to pulling the drawbridge up against migration.”
Despite acknowledging that the only democratically-elected European Union officials — the Members of European Parliament — are the “least powerful” part of the Brussels mechanism, the ECFR nevertheless fears that “The vote could see a group of nationalist anti-European political parties that advocate a return to a ‘Europe of the nations’ win a controlling share of seats in the EP” and “in the longer term” they could “paralyse decision-making at the centre of the EU".//
Add into this mix that if the Remainiacs and the EUSSR manage to stall Brexit forcing us to stay in the pyramid scheme, we will be entitled to elect EMPs in May. Farage and the newly formed Brexit Party have stated that they will field anti EU candidates all with a very good chance of being elected and duly sent into the very heart of the EU beast. Remember Farage knows this particular dance and intends to target the existing EMPs who are pro EUSSR only. The federalists are very worried and even the globalist Soros has warned that the EU is in grave danger of imploding. Wouldn't it be deliciously ironic if the machinations of the Remainiacs were directly responsible for the timely demise of their beloved EUSSR?

Possibly Jim, but the Tories are not doing themselves many favours.

There is no way I will be voting for my Tory candidate next election. He is a pompous git anyway and we have crossed swords before. Now he has gone too far with his Brexit shenanigans.

I was a Tory Party member until Treason and he cohorts started ignoring the democratic vote. I am sure I am not the only one.

[dannyk13]

ymb, But what is the alternative, surely not Cob.

[youngmafbog]

At the moment I have no Party to vote for so looking like a destryed voting slip in the absence of 'None of the above'.

If Sir Nige does form a Party and a candidate stands then it will be that person most likely.

[cassa333]

Nigel Farage ha indeed started a new party. The Brexit party and you can sign up here https://www.thebrexitparty.org/

[Old_Geezer]

Strong third parties mean likely continuous hung parliaments and that's always ensured lack of/slow progress in the past. Not something to wish upon the country unless it's a temporary transition state.

[youngmafbog]

Better than the liberal elite and a crazed old Marxist though.

[naomi24]

ymb, //I was a Tory Party member until Treason and he cohorts started ignoring the democratic vote.//

But that's supported right across the House, regardless of political flavour.

I think Yvette Cooper (dreadful woman!) is lining herself up for her 15 minutes of fame.

"Interesting assessment from Kuenssberg."

WHAT?

Not "More fake news from Liar In Chief at the Beep Beep See"?

Golly.
