Labour effectively used memes and social media to engage peoples feels, especially the youth which was extremely effective (lets not get on to the shower of shite T.May paraded around). There appeared to be little to no counter/rebuttal to this; and what there was, was mainly Corbyn & McDs terrorism buddies.
Why is this? Shy Tories? People worried about vilification by online? Complacency?
Will there be a counter to this next GE?
My concern is that we may well be having another GE within 5 years’ time and a Corbyn/McD axis of evil could fuck this country something rotten.
TL:DR During GE2017 Why no Anti Corbyn social media?

The left can cry all they want, but May or for certain the Tory will be in power for the next 5 yrs.
Gabriel Sanders
Maybe you right wing retards need to have more to your ideology than wanting everyone to work for as little as possible so the billionaire globalist overlords you serve can have it all
Asher Watson
do you think Corbyn will still be around and if so, what are the chances of him making further gains? I know this is requiring some kind of mystical power as 1 week is a long time in politics let alone 5 years!
Cameron Richardson
No I am more concerned about an economic plan that's based on a Venezuelan type model with out oil revenue.
Christopher Brown
Tory are holding legitimate power with the DUP, there is no avenue in for Labour, even though they did well, they lost.
Colton Kelly
If Labour didn't brainwash the kids they would have voted Tory and we would not need the DUP, serves them right, hah.
Evan Smith
Also Corbyn is one of the "few", fuckers worth a small fortune.
Owen Miller
This is exactly what I mean. Corbyn calls for L$10/hour min wage and wants your billionaire globalist overlords to pay a bit more in taxes and u retards immediately cry out to defend your gods
Asher Ramirez
and he has no problem raising his own taxes for a better society

>only a 6% rate increase from 20 to 26% rate increase mean Corp tax payments increase by 30% Biggest companies will work around it to ensure no drop in proffits including tax planing and laying people off (ecsactly what you don't want) meaning you won't get as much tax as you want. IFS pointed this out. Medium and smaller businesses, which actually provide most growth and job creation won't be able to take the same action as bigger companies and will instead stall. GJ corbyn. >increase min wage by 25%, plus the increases tax contributions by companies such as NI. See above re profit protection and squeeing on small and mid size business that actually generate growth and new jobs.
Watching the Questiontime spection where he was infront of an audience the questioned him on this and his answers were poor at best; he looked very uncomforatble when small business onwers spelled out what this would ACTAULLY mean. he went quiet and sweaty, clinging to the talbe holding his water. totally out of his depth. then there waere defence questions and it got worse.
It was the first time anyone had actually pressed him on significant problems with their plans and he was crumbling. just wish someone had done it sooner. he got a free fucking ride most of the campaign.

apologies for spelling, Cat on/around key board.

Lol corporate tax rates would be going back to 2010 levels.
Oh noes how can billion dollar corporations possibly be able to afford to pay a little more taxes on PROFITS
Jacob White
yeah, and we took more tax revenue at a lower rate. A lot more. More than Millibands projections for raising corp tax if he'd won in 2015. but yeah, facts don't matter when your ideology is that business is evil. Ignoring the fact that it would have fucked so many local businesses just because Corbyn and Mc D hate the likes of Google and Apple. local mechanic? baker? opticians? any thing independent on the town high street? yeah take 30% more from them, because they apparently have billions they are refusing to reinvest in the UK economy.

>wanting everyone to work for as little as possible so the billionaire globalist overlords you serve can have it all The idea is to bring cost of living down and taxes down, Marxist puppet. The globalist are fingering your ass with one hand and leading you a merry dance with the other.

If the only way a company can survive is by paying starvation wages on zero hour contracts then they can fuck right off. They're not fit to be in business.

It's difficult to meme TM in a positive way. You look at her and she looks like an abandoned Bond villain. While Corbyn shed his cold, empty, boring image and put on the skin of a lovable uncle.
Her manifesto didn't help either. It seemed like they got over confident thinking: "Who's going to vote Corbyn? we can fill a page of our manifesto with 'nigger' and they'll still be voting for us."
While Labours manifesto offered free shit, that only the gods know how it would have been payed for. However, people always want free stuff, I too am guilty of this (free samples are amazing) but when it comes to political views, people should think long term "what is good for my country?" Something which I have found is lacking nowadays.
Most of my family voted Brexit but they still voted Labour. You may say it is mad to vote a party that would keep us in the EU, but out of it in name.
But when you don't look beyond the veil put on by both sides, which do you prefer?
Adam King
When you raise taxes on the rich, you get more revenues you fucking moron.
You're spouting every billionaire globalist corporate shill trickle down talking point. How did u get so cucked?
Jose Evans
>good goy cut our taxes >you'll get more revenues we promise >the money won't end up in panama >you're such a good little goy aren't you

There are a couple of reasons why:
1. May is incredibly dull. There's no way to make a meme out of her besides from that one with the picture of the UK going 100% Tory 2. People here didn't really support May or the mainstream conservatives, they just wanted a Brexit that was more than leaving in name only and that Labour was even worse
The thing is, the Labour memes were quite shit and mostly consisted of Jeremy Corbyn's head on football players. If you remember the EU referendum, Leave had fat better memes than Remain because a lot of them came from here. As Moonman says: control the memes, control the planet. That's the way that meme magic is real; it actually affects the way people think because the idea of the meme starts to be believed.
Parker Campbell
I've noticed more vocal pro-Tory stuff online since the election. As if people are now actually worried that Corbyn could really be PM.
