    It worked last time on Millipede who gambled on keeping enough seats in Scotland.

    Now it's clear that Labour won't have many back for a very long time, if ever and Korbyn is a lot easier for SNP to make deal with than Bliarites/Brownites.

    The up front deal with SNP will certainly happen, and why not - Scotland votes to stay in UK, so MPs from England and Wales should engage constructively with them, especially if it means kicking out Tories for next few decades (hopefully forever).

    Boundary changes won't make much difference, I reckon Tories will lose 40-50 seats, which would put them down to 290-280, it's entirely possible that LibDems would get some seats back from disillusioned with Tories voters - there will be plenty of those, I even comfortably predict that Waldorf will be cheerleading for Korbyn ...

        That's when they'll pounce. Rich, tax avoiding, ex-contractor scum with your overpriced Multiyork sofa and electricity that doesn't come from a coin meter. McDonnell is watching you.

          That's what Jesbollah wants you to think
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Never, unless I've gone mad! See you've gone on your usual rant with selective statistics. Don't always believe press releases put out by companies with vested interests.
              "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

                I expected to be retired at 45. Gah.
