PREDICTION
1 JUNE 26
“Getting
rid of Corbyn will be the easy bit. Coalescing around a SINGLE alternative will
now test those who care more about the Party and its most vulnerable supporters
than their own Lilliputian ambitions”
OUTCOME
It's 10
days since the results and Jezza is almost gone. Ninety percent of the shadow
cabinet has resigned-including replacements for the replacements!
An 80%
no confidence vote from MPs.His entourage refuses to let him meet on his own
with other party leaders, lest he sees reason. They know with him gone it’s the
end of their puny power. They care nothing if the party is destroyed in the
process.
The
Unions will desert him and he will be gone by Friday. His leaving is as
incoherent and pointless as his leadership has been over the last nine months.
Angela Eagles is touted as the “unity”
candidate .She has been in parliament for 16 years w/o making much of a name
for herself or serving in the Blair/Brown governments. She is described as “soft
left” and in order to prevent a schism it seems the parliamentary party is
willing to back her without opposition. It seems the Labour movement is in an
era of lowest common denominator politics. This is the progeny of Atlee, Bevan,
Gaitskell, Wilson, Castle, Blair and Brown? Dennis [Healy] where art thou?
The
only named alternative I have heard from old friends is Yvette Cooper. She was
in the Blair government and Gordon Brown’s Cabinet.as was her husband Ed Balls,
making them the only ever married couple to serve in a British Cabinet.
She is
a smart, focused politician but ran a poor, diffident campaign for leader against
Corbyn last year. She is a Blairite and therefore will probably not run in the
current climate.
It is
interesting that the two leading candidates for leader are women; one married
to a woman and the other to Ed Balls. The party has come a long way, at least
on gender and sexuality issues.

CAMERON ---GONE
CORBYN --ALMOST GONE
FARAGE---GONE.Cyclops did NOT predict that one.
AND these? ---JUNE 18
- A UK vote to exit, would lead to calls by the far right for immigration referendums in Holland, France, Italy, Denmark and even Germany. It could unleash centrifugal forces tearing Europe apart and with that global chaos.
- Could we count on the "statesmen" of Europe to act together in the common interest? Recent events cannot give confidence.
- Would the panic of Capital bring on a recession?
- Would Putin resist the temptation to cause mischief in the "Old Empire"?
- Would President TRUMP (f) do a deal---just kidding.
PREDICTION 3 --JUNE 26
"A Tory party leadership election between two Old Etonian Chums:
Bonking Boris -LEAVE
Gormless George -REMAIN
WHO WOULD WIN?
KING CYCLOP'S PREDICTION TOMORROW"
The answer is Theresa May
- She is NOT an Old Etonian,its all male and the only way she would have got in would have been as a serving wench.
- For those with no clue about the minutia of British Politicians.Think Margaret Thatcher with fashionable shoes.
- She is currently Home Secretary.
- Smarter and tougher than the Posh Boys and will make mincemeat of Clueless Corbyn in a general election.
OUTCOME:
BORIS & OSBORNE both dropped out before the contest STARTED.The Bookies,Pundits and Polls triumph AGAIN.
THERESA MAY---running as the new Thatcher- GETS HALF OF the Tory MP vote 166 versus 165 for the other FOUR.
FOX & CRABBE[not an Aesop Fable] drop out throwing their support to MAY.
GOVE [48 votes] & Andrea Foursome LEADSOM[follow others? 66 votes] still in the
frame.Gove running as the Assassin and Leadsom as the other Thatcher---think Ronald Reagan to Republicans,just the Brits do not name airports after movie stars.
It looks like they are heading for a run off between 2 women candidates from State Grammar Schools.Will make a YUUGE change after a Tory government run by POSH BOYS from ETON,OXFORD & the BULLINGTON CLUB.
EITHER would eviscerate dear Jezza if he were around.
