We're a hell of a lot larger than you are where you're sitting, Ken!
If we "put the EU above everything else", it's because - FOR THE FUCKING UMPTEENTH TIME - it's by a clear country mile the most important and urgent issue the UK faces, and - FOR THE FUCKING UMPTEENTH TIME - everything else in our politics and how we live our lives hinges on it.
It's absolutely unthinkable that we could have any meaningful conversation about the prospects of a snap election without it being a major focus.
Take a good look over this thread.
A gazillion words from you raking over old coals about Labour and "The Purges" and Corbyn this and Corbyn that - all in the past tense till you were dragged kicking and screaming to the present and what Labour might constructively do in the future.
You didn't simply ask whether (or when) we thought an election might happen.
Nobody's been able to open their trap and venture an observation without you coming across like you know better than all of us and banging the drum for Corbyn and Labour at endless length. It's a decadent luxury we simply don't have.
Until you understand and respect all this, every time you start a thread and lecture us all when we tell you how we see it as people from the broad left from within the UK, it's going to be inflammatory.
