General Election called for June 8th

So the Communist Party have officially backed Labour in the General Election. I don't believe that is any help to Corbyn at all as it will more likely turn a few more people against him. Now we know that there is concern that the Russians might try to interfere in various European elections so does that mean that if they have encouraged the Communist Party in the UK to back Corbyn that even they can't stand the thought of him being elected?

^
Now, if Corbyn could only get the Labour Party to back him...

^ oh c'mon be serious - that will never happen!

Wait, almost forgot that makes it funny, right?

Was supposed to be.

but if the SNP hadnt taken seats of Both Lab and Lib Dems would have been a rainbow coalition but then I would be blaming the SNP for giving us PM Milliband

Ed Miliband was clueless but a decent bloke. Look at the people Corbyn has stood alongside and praised over the years and you'll see him for what he is.

I totally agree I reckon John Smith probably would have been the best Labour PM this country never had. If he had won the General Election I reckon Blair would have had to wait a few years to be leader and PM

If Smith had lived, he would have been followed by Gordon Brown, and Blair arguably would have gone to the Foreign Office.

That's why he stabbed his brother in the back to become leader?

^He could have stabbed him in the front instead

^^ He had the backing of the real powerbrokers - the unions and in particular Unite.
