Then came that difficult second album

under Blair they were great - he was their greatest ever leader, even if the Corbyn mob despise him.
The only Labour PM in a lot of people's lifetimes, and the only Labour leader to win a general election since 1974, nearly fifty years ago.

I'd vote Blair again
I don't actually care about the war any more, everyone makes the odd mistake.

seeing as how the war was in 2003 and he won again in 2005, I'd say that a large chunk of the electorate didn't give too much of a shit about the war either

One of my colleagues is from Iraq
not that you'd know it, she's lived here since she was a young child. I haven't spoken to her about Tony Blair, but I believe she's not a fan.

Tony Blair is an abomination. Defo Bilderberg lizard man.

Even if they get in again, it's going to be Tory lite

( Smash Monkey 2 Anyone know a good therapist in South Africa?, Fri 7 May 2021, 9:28, archived)

electtions are won from the centre, and Labour haven't been a socialist party since the mid 90s, when they abolished Clause 4.
So 'Tory lite' isn't necessarily a bad thing.

let's just agree that 'Tory lite' is a less bad thing than 'full-fat Tory'

no disagreement from me m8

Yeah
fine. Whatever. Tory light, mild conservative, anything. Just not these cunts please. Can't we just have some not mental people? That'd be nice.

centre left, that's where it's at yo

I'm such a centrist dad

centre is a relative position

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 7 May 2021, 10:35, archived)

Well, yes
there's a steaming shit on the right and a big skid mark on the left from the person who sat there last. I don't like the middle that much but it seems to be the only place that's devoid of faeces.

come on now, I reckon that Corbyn and McDonnell did a fantastic job of leading the Labour party to electoral success!

(Smegg Wallace The O.G. Q.R., Fri 7 May 2021, 10:38, archived)

Up there with Theresa May, definitely
