Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Theresa ... PM within days
The next chapter begins ... just not sure what the title will be, let alone the content. Not sure I'm going to like it whatever it is.

Prediction: as long as Jeremy Corbyn remains leader of the opposition, Theresa May will be the most socialist primeminister that Britain has had since Harold Wilson.

Whatever one's politics, I hope we can all hope she succeeds in unifying the country following Brexit and making life outside the EU work for all.

If you have Angela Eagle across the despatch box from you, you'll pass a lot more right wing legislation without her so much as whimpering because she is obsessed with the swing voters in marginals. If you have Jeremy Corbyn you'll have to be much more careful.

I think he should be left in place, he won the leadership election and hence deserves his shot at the next general election. Will he win that ??????????? cant see it myself.
So unfortunatly, here comes 9 years of Teresa.

He stands a better chance than Angela Eagle. Here's how Anglea Eagle became an MP (from Private Eye):
Could we also step back and look at the electoral system that we have. It's called First-Past-The-Post. It means that there will be a majority government and a minority opposition. Now an opposition that is just scrabbling around for power, pandering to the several hundred swing voters in swing constituencies, is not going to make a very good opposition. They probably won't blink as the government dismantles the welfare state and the NHS, fearful of the Murdoch Press. An opposition fronted by Jeremy Corbyn, that will oppose.
Incidentally Angela Eagle was the NEC person that Zena Brabazon appealed to over the scandalous way that the St Ann's Ward selection was run in 2013. No wonder she just brushed it under the carpet if that's the way she was selected.

and while brexit is happening and labour falling apart. The conservatives are quitely redrawing the electoral boundaries in their favour.
Without the Scottish vote its going to be increasingly difficult for the labour party. They will have to appeal to middle england.
But all the above is for the future

No they won't have to appeal to middle England. Children have been disenfranchised and will become increasingly important to the electorate - the honest thing to do would be to appeal to them. The market seems to think that PM Theresa May means higher property prices though, home builders up 20% since she became the favourite to take over last week. You win some...

You seem soo confident John. Finger on the political pulse as it were.
I take it that you knew brexit would win the vote. I certainly didnt. But i did know that the referendum wouldnt be won or lost in London or Scotland.

You dismiss middle engand so easliy John.
I dont think you understood my meaning. you/we veiw life from (as so many people have said around the country) a london centric metropolitan perspective. Middle England is different and you ignore it at you peril (if you aspire to political power). from what you wrote above, you seem to believe that all childen will grow up and vote exactly the way you want them too, Thats not going to happen. some will, most won't or not the way you expect. I lost that cocksure confidence with Kinnock.
They'll all do what ever they want - and quite right too. what ever the youth and their parents decide to do in the future its very unlikely to be what you or I think they should.
Re: straw man - i'll take that as the insult I believe you intended

Nobody knew for certain that Brexit would win the vote. If they did they could have made a fortune. Even the architects of the Leave campaign didn't expect to win, so this is a Straw Man argument.
Children in the 80s could buy houses in the 90s and get jobs as Lawyers...
