Welp, the government is collapsing around us, minister after minister is getting fired, the EU have given us 2 weeks to get our shit together otherwise they are gonna just not properly negotiate and literally "none of the above" is a more popular option for next leader of the tory party.
John Major must be getting Deja Vu.

I feel fairly hopeless, in all honesty. The Tories are going to cling to power until 2022 I think, and even then who knows how much damage will have been done to the Keynesian cause?
Bear in mind that, while we all hope Corbyn and McDonnell will veer increasingly toward Marxism over time if they get elected, as it stands they're running on a Keynesian platform that has been successfully smeared and associated with civil strife (even though the Oil crisis and economic shock of joining the EEC was largely to blame) for nearly 40 years.
I just don't think people will be able to shake off all of the free market dogma they've been told as gospel by the BBC and "respectable society" for much of their lives. People still blindly trust the rich in this nation, and I don't see it changing anytime soon, even if Tory cuts continue.
I would vote for Corbyn, but I don't think I can bring myself to vote for a Trot
At least the tories winning would embolden the left.
Corbyn winning and betraying everyone would be the end the Left of Britain.
...
More likely he's going to succdem himself, like Bernie would if he has won.
Bernie was already running on a SocDem platform, though. He also didn't have a history of being a literal Marxist, and also including committed Marxists in his cabinet (including Dianne "Mao did nothing wrong" Abbott).
If Corbyn fails, it will be because the Labour MPs cucked him.
Vote of no confidence when?
Not until May fucks Brexit up.
Seriously though, the best chance for a Corbyn victory lies in the Tories making an absolutely unforgivable mess of Brexit negotiations, which is most likely the case.
After all, the Brexit base is made up of two irreconcilable factions; those factions beefing on the one hand, working-class supporters of protectionism, government spending, and restrictions upon immigration, and on the other those wealthier individuals who seek a low-regulation, frugal, and tariff abolitionist Britain. How can May possibly appease both in the long term? The answer is that she cannot, and if the Tory record is anything to go by, she'll side with the neoliberals hoping that her free-market dogma will prove true and win her election a few years down the line.
