The 2019 General Election

[SpookyFrank]

Williamson is standing as an independent.

Bad news for labour, they won that seat by a gnat's bollock last time IIRC. That does of course mean that Williamson has only been local MP for two years and is unlikely to take a huge personal vote with him.

 

[TopCat]

Heh.

Things like this are telling.

Many Welsh indy supporters are against this, libdems are a unionist party. FPTP makes for strange bedfellows at times.

In the longer run it should be positive because they'll stab PC in the back down the line, that's guaranteed.

libdems are now, allegedly, pro-Welsh indy but anti-Scots indy.

So you're saying it's a nazi-soviet style pact and you're not going to rip your party card up over it? It's 1939 and you're Palme Dutt.

He was first elected in 2010 - but i agree that he's unlikely to have much of a personal vote, at least not one that is significantly larger than his personal anti-Williamson vote.

The 'party of wales' not standing in every welsh constituency is lunacy. Even the remain alliance bit doesn't wash - I know price wanted a revoke position but official plaid stance is second ref, which is contrary to libdem position of revoke

This is shocking news. More so than Williamson urging votes for Boris.

 

[rekil]

Probably (he actually puts the blame on the Labour NEC, it was me who abbreviated to 'their'. Maybe I'm blaming the Jews )

It's pretty clear who he blames in his statement.

 

[TopCat]

Very generous of Swinson to let someone else have a little chance in the middle of her glorious sweep to government isn't it.

Clinging to her coat tails...

Thought Swinson wanted a second ref and if it didn't go her way she was going to ignore the result.

Oh, ffs.

Yeah that would be a great policy, upfront, in your face, fuck you half of the UK.

 

[killer b]

Oh, ffs.

At least this makes it explicit that the only people left supporting him are supporting an open racist.

 

[Crispy]

The "Remain Alliance" (Green, Plaid, Lib Dems) has released the list of seats that will be uncontested by other members of the alliance:

 

[Proper Tidy]

libdems are now, allegedly, pro-Welsh indy but anti-Scots indy.

No they're not. Libdems position is that they can work with plaid as plaid don't have an official position of independence but can't work with SNP who do. And they're right for a change, official plaid stance is further powers from westminster

 

[killer b]

I wonder why Penistone is on the Greens list? The Greens have never stood there and it's a Labour/Tory marginal - have they just included every seat they don't bother standing in or something?

 

[TopCat]

I loved this quote in the Guardian in response to Tom Watson's resignation.

"After the news was announced, one senior party figure spoke of “a great sense of desolation and abandonment sweeping the moderates". "

 

[strung out]

Lib Dems not standing in Bristol West, which they held until four years ago.

 

[butchersapron]

Williamson is doing a sort of Angela Smith isn't he? He wants that 22 grand.

Is it a way of clearing the decks for the Lab Con fight?

 

[killer b]

I guess he's got a limited chance of an offer of a job from Johnson, so fair enough

 

[killer b]

Is it a way of clearing the decks for the Lab Con fight?

But as part of a 'remain pact' that presumably involves telling their supporters to vote Lib Dem? if they just wanted to clear the decks they could have just stood aside and told them to vote Labour, like they did in Calder Valley.

Needs it.

My constituency.
Thangam Debbonaire seems to have it nailed now.

If I knew enough to help with canvassing I would have to help in Kingswood where my Tory family live

 

[andysays]

It's pretty clear who he blames in his statement.

That's really quite something, and hopefully will be the end of anyone other than loons claiming Williamson isn't really an anti semite

 

[Pickman's model]

Needs it.

he'll piss it away in a month

 

[treelover]

Heh.

Hope this gets memed

 

[SpackleFrog]

Really? You know...you can search for people saying things on urban, yeah?

Even in the Wales subforum.


I'm on record here as supporting Wales, on urban. Did I photoshop that as well?

Let's see the twisting now.

No you aren't you fucking moron, Plaid Cymru is a political party, it isn't a country. The majority of Welsh people are not members of PC. The majority of Welsh people don't even vote PC.

 

[not-bono-ever]

He’s got some front that McDonnell-he just used the S*****ism word in his Q&A

 

[SpackleFrog]

I don’t know why they have assigned cleverly the role of fronting their fuck ups - he is a charmless unimaginative wanker - he’s a patsy and doesn’t realise he is being made to look like a twat on a daily basis

I suspect that's the answer - he's willing.

 

[cupid_stunt]

No you aren't you fucking moron, Plaid Cymru is a political party, it isn't a country. The majority of Welsh people are not members of PC. The majority of Welsh people don't even vote PC.

But, but, but, he's a Welsh warrior - having joined Plaid for free, for a few weeks.

please, leave this nonsense now.
