I'm nowhere near as familiar with UK politics than I am with US politics but from what I understand, Labour is a mess and Jeremy Corbyn is extremely disliked across the board.Could someone with knowledge of British politics please example to me how the Conversatives still have a chance of winning the election by that much.
Is Labour that useless?
mr 5 pinocchios:
Why doesn't this arrogant fool just stay in the background and do **** like this.
I would not mind them shouting him out at the convention is he was about voter access and fighting the NRA.
Jeremy Corbyn is arguably a worse person than Boris Johnson.

I don't think anyone made the argument of Johnson being clearly better (to be fair fargin post kinda reads that way), or his plans are better, and I don't think anyone tried to **** on Labour economic plans.
I posed a question as to why polls are looking like they do, and people on here have reasons. I don't think they really needed to back it up with a deep analysis. People in my real life that live in the UK all bad to vote Labour and nearly universally dislike Corbyn. One of them being Jewish, and he especially loathes Corbyn and feels alienated by Labour.
Brexit came up too and Belgium comments seem on the mark as even Labour voters they think the Conservatives have a clearer path on Brexit.
This Wiki site list the history of polling links, it clear shows that Corbyn doesn't have high approval ratings. Johnson is a rancid bigot has nearly double the approval. With a parliamentary system Labour inclined voters have more options, and it seems they are exercising it.

Corbyn may have some good plans I am inclined to agree with but he seems to be a clear political liability. Labour and the British Left can't help anyone of they never get power. Corbyn seems to be a road block to that.
But I am sure racism and a strong third option play a role too. Plus from watching UK recently, it seems like voter apathy is really high.
