  • I doubt McDonnell 'walked into a trap'. He's a very seasoned politician, regardless of what one might think of his politics.

    He hasn't been terrifically successful at achieving his aims though has he?;

  • because of centrist cunts whose top priority is fighting the left and will cheat and lie and break any rule to do so.

    If John and his allies played half as dirty they would have achived more for society, at the expense of losing the moral high ground.

  • Surely that is the problem with the left? It's all moral high ground and ideological purity over actually gaining power and making some changes?

  • Yeah I don't believe either side (of the labour party) is really any more or less factionalist than the other, and you calling one side cunts isn't really changing that view

  • Those Centrists who ousted a Tory Government who after the previous election people expected to be in power for a decade?

    Those same Centrists who were so focused on fighting the left that they accidentally won a thumping majority against the right?

    Maccy D & Co. don't need to play dirty, they just need to hold a majoritarian position and do a collabo with a decent electoral strategist.

  • I'm not sure whether could have done more for society but didn't want to sully their morals is really that big a win for them.
