That's a third. Labour has lost 2% possibly to the Lib Dems and others.<br /><br />Here's the rub:<br /><br />Theresa May is Cameron post-Brexit. She has no intention whatsoever of leaving the EU and will stall and postpone the fateful day of pressing the Article 50 button.<br /><br />The 48 percenters are misnamed as they don't represent (and never will) the Tory Remain elements or the Labour Party elements of Remain. The main elements who make up the total 48%.<br /><br />Corbyn has his problems - true. Yet the Conservatives are deeply split as to Brexit or no Brexit. Therefore: If the Article 50 button is not pressed by the end of the year then ructions will occur within the Governing Party. They have the magnificent majority of 11.<br /><br />The Opposition then has a choice: Does the Opposition - Labour (in maybe two parts ) the SNP and the Lib Dems as <br />Remainers vote for May's Remain stalling or do they side with the Tory Brexiteers tactically to bring the Government down in a vote of No Confidence?<br /><br />The 172 Labour nervous Nellies will then have an historic choice to make which will affect their careers. Because what that means is that they will have to open themselves up to the Electorate as Remainers or die hard Brexiteers.<br /><br />Now, if you believe that Labour Brexiteers were more sincere than the the Tory ones (40% Tories Remain and 62% Labour Remainers) it is a vote you would expect to be difficult to win. Particularly in the North and various small towns in England.<br /><br />The problem is that many of Labours Heartlands voted to leave. This is the " Middle ground " Blairites wish to win. Corbyn has just recognised it for what it is. A cry for assistance in these areas. These things are solvable with Investment.<br /><br />The problem is that the Blairites think we are back in 1997. We are not - things have changed and it is you and the Blairites that need to change not Corbyn.<br /><br />History is running all over them and they don't know it. By the time they do - it will be too late for the Blairites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25656996.post-81936816298294622662016-08-06T23:32:24.750+01:002016-08-06T23:32:24.750+01:00Now we only need the Teaching Assistants thing set...Now we only need the Teaching Assistants thing settled and we can have you back in the party, onto the council next year, into Parliament in 2020.
