@TelMc32 no bother about the grammar it's early and no coffee yet, no issue with people having an opinion but why are they labelled idiots the same as brexit voters.
Because the left are shitting themselves the realisation that us regular hard working, working class folk want and will get change is frightening to them and what do they do when they shit themselves and don't know what to say? They call names
The Labour movement that gave a meaningful voice to left wing politics was all about working class folk fighting for change in their favour. Why would I, as a person whose political stance is generally left of centre, be scared of working class folk? I am one myself, as is my wife and all our family.
What I'm scared of is a world where people think that foreigners and ethnic minorities are all to blame for their problems and then vote for millionaires who've never done a hard days work in their life because they've swallowed the hate filled lies, and over simplistic solutions that have been spat at them with barely disguised disdain by yet another bunch of self serving politicians who are using the people to get what serves them best, not what serves the people best.
This is just it though, labour is not for the working class. Not even close. They scream racist every time you bring up a genuine immigration related concern. I'm not silly enough to think that immigration is the cause of all problems, but it is a problem, I see it first hand quite often people being undercut for ridiculous prices from cheap Romanian work forces etc. Doesn't mean I want them sent home, just want things tightened up.
The left claim to be for the little people but when we've stood up to be counted and voted for change (brexit) labour cronies and other leftie, are trying to block it.
On my site, I don't know a single person whose voted for Labour, all ukip or Tory. Labour and the left don't represent the working class people one bit as far as i see it.
And how has two terms of Tory government been working out for you? Feeling richer?
Mainstream politics has left the working classes behind, I don't disagree. the left has lost site of its roots and the right has never really been for the good of all. The growth in the gap between the haves and the have nots has continued under successive governments - New Labour, Lib Con coalition, Conservative. All three have failed to stop the trend.
I was against Brexit but it made more sense as a protest vote, even if I believe it will back fire on the very people who most hope it will change their lot in life. As I said above, my dislike for Trump is not about his right wing policies, not that I'd be a fan of them in al honesty, but it's about his social attitudes and it upsets me that so many people don't care more aboutbthatbside of things. Just like it upsets me that Brexit was used by some people as an excuse for racist behaviour that blackens the name of my country, of which I am proud.
I am, a lot richer. I've never ever been out of work under Tory government, my industry is booming and is only getting stronger.
Don't get me wrong I understand your point on trump, I'm glad he's not running over here cos he's a div, but he's the people's div. he's given a lot of people a lot of hope. Whether it comes to fruition I don't know. Yes people will vote for him and use it as an excuse for racist behaviour but you will always get things like that happening in any situation, it's the human race, unfortunately. People will hide their agendas with smoke screens.
World politics needs a big shake up, this, I feel, is undeniable and it looks like it's going to happen.
What do you do that prevents you from being undercut by Romanians, whilst others are not able to GJ?

And the left needs to take some responsibility for Brexit (and in the US, Trump) because of this.
What on earth do you think happens when the party that's meant to be looking out for a specific part of society decides it doesn't give a crap about them anymore? That part of society gets angry, and they bottle it up.
What on earth do you think happens when people feel afraid to have "difficult discussions" in case they get called a racist bigot? They get angry, and they bottle it up.
Or what about those who don't live in the city, and live in dead end rural areas where there are no jobs, they don't feel particularly looked after by Westminster (or Washington) and feel fed up with voting every year and seeing no change? They look for anyone who is going to make a change, someone to shake things up.
Then what do you think happens when a chap like Farage (or Trump) comes along and says he doesn't care about that crap, he's straight talking and he's telling you that he's going to sort it all out? He doesn't give a lot of substance mind you, but he says everything "is going to be great, real great"! This guy is exactly what you need!
Rather than acting surprised by the presence of a silent majority, perhaps it should be asked why they're silent? Why don't people feel comfortable voicing their views? (I'll give you a tip, if you're going to say "because they're racist" then look in the mirror.)
All fair enough, but as a member of the silent majority you still have responsibility to think about the consequences of your lashing out against the system, because otherwise, one day, somewhere, the silent majority will vote in a genuine despot and who knows where that might end.
I'm not sure if you're suggesting I'm part of the silent majority?
I'm fortunate enough that I work in an industry, and an area, that has absolutely flourished under the Tory and Coalition governments. I have no anger there.
Whilst I have convictions behind what I say, convictions strong enough that I'm prepared to speak up even when it's not popular. A week after Brexit I was in Berlin, and was constantly having to defend my decision to vote out. I did so safe in the knowledge that I was confident in my choice, and did so without believing any of the bollocks we were promised. (To be honest, my reasoning was actually surprisingly left wing! ) No doubt I'll probably have similar discussions in Dublin next week.
I understand completely what you mean though; but I find it difficult to blame people who genuinely feel like they have no representation and have one chance for change. Of course they're going to take it.

Your industry's booming? I thought the fucking gyppo cunts from Romania, the Slavs, the fucking Eastern Menace had decimated it? At least you're getting political representation from men of the fucking people Farage and Trump, men of great conscience and notions of social equality. What sort of shakeup did you have in mind? Death camps for Muslims?
Doesn't seem to be letting me post my full answer to this.
The Mexican Wall might or might not actually happen but, whatever, it stands as a metaphor for all that Trump represents.
One can only hope that the businessman in him takes over and that he does see the need for compromise.
Trump is a failed businessman given all his bankruptcies - he is a terrifying character.
He says he is worth 10 billion dollars. Forbes say it is nearer 3.5 and that he is involved in at least 500 businesses. Many of them will fail - that is the nature of being a businessman at that end.
So, if the definition of being a successful businessman is net worth, he is a "success". But a liar and loathsome character too - but then a lot of "businessman" are. But they also recognise that there are times when they have to compromise in order to get that business. And he will have to do just that.
Totally unrelated but I hear that Simon Cowell is hoping to run for PM.

Such a holier than thou attitude in majority of your posts.
Result didn't go your way - again. Let's call everyone with a different point of view stupid.
Maybe there will be petition you can sign to ask for a re-run of the election.
In fairness Trump has been proved a liar many times over MOL, even more than Hilary. That's without all the rest of his baggage. I think it's not unreasonable to use a mild insult like stupid to people who think he should rule one of the most powerful countries in the world? I would use the same word for the people who chose Clinton over Saunders for their party nomination.
Hopefully this means people will stop talking about the bullshit that Nate Silver calls "probability".
To be fair to him he was WAY more cautious of a Trump victory than just about any other pollster (including, I suspect, those within the Trump campaign).

I get the anger mate, I do. It's been a very strange night, I was sad enough to watch it all!
But still.. Hyperbolic diatribe achieves nothing. I genuinely believe that proper discussions are the way forward everywhere.

Maybe so.
But... Whatever those numbers were, they were not probability in any sense.
Sorry to hear about your concerns with healthcare. Hopefully you can find a way of keeping the protection.
In a way, I kind of feel happy for those that voted for Trump because they must be proper disillusioned to be pushed into voting for that nutcase.
The fact of the matter is that Clinton is, and always was, a weak candidate. After getting the nomination sorted via her pals at the DNC, she inspired precisely no-one. Her campaign got twisted into "don't vote for the bad man" instead of focusing on real issues and that failed to convince the public that she wasn't a weak candidate.
The candidate who would've beaten Trump in all this was Bernie Sanders. Such a missed opportunity.
The way I see it, this is gonna go one of two ways:
1. Trump gives it up with the first 100 days because he's won and that's enough for his ego 2. He sticks at it but when Congress and the Senate goes Democrat, he'll have trouble passing any noteworthy legislation
Morning all, Did I miss much, wait what, TRUMP? But all the experts on CL wrote 60 odd pages on how he can't possibly win.
Guess we underestimated how many folk like you there are in the world. A triumph of hope over humanity.
Next election of any sort let me know who you're aggressively rooting for and I'll be sure to back the other party with the bookies, have a splendid day try not to cry.

Hilary Clinton - Displays what is wrong with the establishment.
Americans historically love a conspiracy theory and as such have voted against the establishment.
It has been confirmed by Bloomberg and the Associated Press
Really you couldn't make it up

I'm fortunate enough that I work in an industry, and an area, that has absolutely flourished under the Tory and Coalition governments. I have no anger there.
Whilst I have convictions behind what I say, convictions strong enough that I'm prepared to speak up even when it's not popular. A week after Brexit I was in Berlin, and was constantly having to defend my decision to vote out. I did so safe in the knowledge that I was confident in my choice, and did so without believing any of the bollocks we were promised. (To be honest, my reasoning was actually surprisingly left wing!
I understand completely what you mean though; but I find it difficult to blame people who genuinely feel like they have no representation and have one chance for change. Of course they're going to take it.
Hahaha state of you
So, if the definition of being a successful businessman is net worth, he is a "success". But a liar and loathsome character too - but then a lot of "businessman" are. But they also recognise that there are times when they have to compromise in order to get that business. And he will have to do just that.
Totally unrelated but I hear that Simon Cowell is hoping to run for PM.
Why on earth would people not want to discuss issues when they get well thought out arguments like this back?
Jock Referendum
UK Election
European Referendum
US Election...
The silent MAJORITY in action.
And still you blowhards will not get it!
Now this
If Honey G wins X Factor I am done
But still.. Hyperbolic diatribe achieves nothing. I genuinely believe that proper discussions are the way forward everywhere.
