We have a parliament like you so any laws she wants to make have to pass through first the commons and then the Lords. Taxes are somewhat different but still often require acts of parliament. She will be able to institute pretty much any tax plan she wants to be honest though.

100 seat tory majority please.

Then the corbyn loons can get back to their unicorn chasing and the rest of us can carry on as normal.

Corbyn's Labour all the way!


Get out and VOTE!

Corbyn's policies are actually pretty centrist and have more in common with germany and scandinavian countries. Pretty mainstream and hardly comparable to venezuela.

What Corbyn proposes is Still Capitalism but a more socially democratic movement, reigning in the financial and free market with some controls, since it's proven to be less than the altruistic operation so espoused by the neoliberal movement.

To say the bringing the tax rate up to LESS than what it was under the previous labour government (still among the lowest in the G7) and introducing a few MUCH NEEDED things like rent controls and properly funding the NHS is not just scaremongering, it's laughable and just
shows how far to the right the corporate media have shifted the debate in this country.

Oh, I'm not against the social democrat aspects of corbyns agenda. for example, I'm in favour of providing sufficient funding to the NHS.

I'm just highly sceptical of a guy who considers fidel castro, a guy that turned his country into an unfree dictatorship, "a champion of social justice". or who considers the hamas his friends. or who allows rampant antisemitism to eat through his party under his chair. or who wants to spend dozens of billions to nationalize the kind of infrastructure that doesnt really need to be nationalized, like the railroads.

accordingly, I dont really expect good things for the brexit negotiations out of a guy whose stance on brexit is the epitome of wobbliness.

perhaps brexit is even off the table if he wins or would he go through with it? if yes, i must have missed that

Castro did not make cuba a dictatorship.
Fulgencio Batista was a much more brutal dictator than castro who overthrew him.
Castro threw the mafia and american investors out of cuba, this is the real crime that made them hate him, he was no worse of a dictator than the two that preceded him and he improved the lives of the vast majority of cubans as opposed to batista who made the rich richer and the poor much poorer.

so he was a slightly "better" socialist failure who kept millions of people in ridiculous poverty and oppression for decades
thats fine then

socialists are always good m8, always usa or the financial top shots to blame!

well too bad, because i think this is what may will try to do after the hard brexit.
and about elections; it seems that finally conservatives are still keeping a majority.
