The choice of political party is the main crime! Let's not forget that England has never failed to be majority Conservative. Labour governments are provided by Welsh and Scottish votes. The right-on members of this board might reflect that they are, and have always been, an English minority and do not speak for the majority. Not that that's going to stop them pretending otherwise..... You sure about that? I can prove you wrong right now if you like but I'd like to see your evidence first. |

It does mean if Labour hope to regain power they either need to move to the left (to regain some SNP votes), but this strategy only works if Scotland remains part of UK. Or to the right to gain some of the slightly more left wing tory voters. With Corbyn in charge the first option looks more likely currently.. |

He may be a while seeing as it's not true. How long should I give him? |

Probs waiting a lot longer now this thread has been moved to the 'nothing to do with football' section. Didn't the South African's during Apartheid argue that you should never mix sport and politics? |

Personally, I don't think life and politics should mix. He'll find it if he wants to because I quoted him  I know what he'll say and it won't have anything to do with proving that 27 percent of the electorate is a majority. |
