Corbyn on borrowed time as Labour avoids heavy council election losses in England - but party is put to the sword in Scotland recording their worst result in more than a CENTURY with Tories pushing them into third place


  • Labour set to be first opposition since 1985 to lose English council seats - but Jeremy Corbyn's job appears safe
  • Party has failed to take advantage of Tory civil war over EU referendum and lost control of one heartland council
  • Labour decimated by the SNP, its worst result since women got vote in 1910, and even beaten by Scottish Tories
  • But Nicola Sturgeon hopes of a second independence referendum scuppered by lack of overall majority
  • UKIP makes major gains taking 20 more seats - and even wins a place on the Welsh Assembly for first time
  • Labour's London mayor candidate Sadiq Khan in expected to beat Tory Zac Goldsmith later today
Jeremy Corbyn's has been warned he is on borrowed time after Labour avoided huge council seat losses in England in his first election test - but were put to the sword in Scotland recording their worst result for a century and slumping to third place behind the Tories. Moderates queued up to condemn the leader in the wake of the disastrous results, pointing out that the party showed no signs of mounting a realistic challenge the Conservatives at the next general election.

The veteran left-winger's own deputy Tom Watson admitted Labour was in a 'serious' situation but appealed for potential rebels to give him more time. With 80 out of 124 English council elections declared, Labour has lost control of just one authority - in Dudley - and dropped 25 seats. However, it was still the worst showing by an Opposition party since the 1980s and critics pointed out that the Tories are in turmoil over the looming EU referendum.

In Scotland, where Mr Corbyn's allies had claimed his anti-austerity and anti-Trident stances would play well, the party has been humiliated by the SNP and beaten into third by the Conservatives. It was the worst showing since women got the vote in 1910, after an extraordinary night for the Tories, who had their best result since 1955. But Nicola Sturgeon's dream of a second independence referendum is over for now after the First Minister lost her overall majority.

There was also a major breakthrough for UKIP, who have gained 20 new seats and even won in Wales for the first time with Nigel Farage saying his party has taken votes hand-over-fist from Labour because of the 'Corbyn effect'.

With all 129 seats declared in Scotland, Labour had lost 13 seats - shedding constituencies to the SNP and even the Tories. The party was pushed into a humiliating third place - which makes Scottish Tory leader Ruth Davidson the official opposition

Why vote Scottish Labor when you can get everything you want, including EU membership, from the S.N.P.

NOW, the English Labor Party should unite with the S.N.P and work together to win independence for Scotland and proportional representation for the downtrodden English.

What exactly, after all, can the Labour Party offer that is compatible with Scottish self-respect? It is all being built up by the murdochites, who had got themselves all excited by a chance to get at Mr Corbyn, and without this would have to take a cold shower and go for a healthy run..

[h=1]The SNP's independence dream fades as Nicola Sturgeon FAILS to win an overall majority and the Tories surge into second place in a devastating result for Labour[/h]
  • SNP falls short of overall majority reducing chances of another referendum
  • Sturgeon declared a third Holyrood victory was an 'historic' achievement
  • Conservative leader in Scotland won Edinburgh Central seat from SNP
  • Labour lost 10% of its vote share with leader Kezia Dugdale humiliated
  • Dugdale tried to win the Edinburgh Eastern seat but was beaten by the SNP
  • Corbyn's party recorded its worst ever performance in Scottish elections

Well it was AV actually but it's the same difference, PR just gives you an effing mess like you have in Israel or Italy. Funny that Moonbat is railing about PR as it would have given UKIP over 80 MPs rather than one in the 2015 election!!

IRV is just another word for AV. And AV is not really the same as PR at all. They use AV in Australia, and they've got like one third party member in the entire house of representatives (with third parties winning 10%-20% of the vote). If anything AV reinforces two party rule, you aren't going to see the Green party edging out a victory with 25% of the vote like they did in 2010 with AV in place. It *may* have been specifically beneficial to the LibDems, because they occupy the center, but it would've been damaging to anyone on the edge of the spectrum like the UKIP or Greens.

And PR works just fine in plenty of places. Germany, for instance. You just need a decently high enough threshold.

You're the twat who posted the ' Labor facing disaster ' thread. As I said , they did quite well - considering the orchestrated ' antisemitism ' smears leveled at them by the likes of you, Fool.

Labor would destroy the Tories for all time if there was proportional representation in England. Labor wouldn't need any Scottish seats- and Scotland will soon be independent from your nest of Tory twats anyway.

Before independence comes the SNP could lend its- considerable- Westminster weight to achieve PR for the English masses who labor for their Tory masters with no Constitution to protect them. Now that Labor has been wiped out in Scotland- again- their brighter sparks will see the logic of partnership.

The Tory vote in Scotland simply represents the minority of Anglicized Scots who believe the ' Union ' twaddle handed out by Tory lairds and thermonuclear weapons buffs. They are insignificant in the future of Scotland.
 
Labour has won without Scotland in the past, and the SNP is not tory. The Labour Party allied itself too closely with unionism and (therefore) with tory control, so it has a lot of rebuilding to do, and the tory voters in Scotland are (like the ukip voters in 'Wales'), as Moon suggests, self-hating grovellers, if Scottish at all.
