Strong and Stable: The last shall be first...

Someone just shared this in my FB stream.

I'll explain the joke for anyone outside of the UK - this is Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party who is occupying the same sort of political ground as Bernie Sanders but has a much higher chance of achieving some power in next week's general election (this is not a presidential race). At the beginning of the campaign people noticed that the current Prime Minister, Theresa May kept using the words "strong and stable" repeatedly in her speeches, over and over again like a broken record. This was supposed to contrast with Mr Corbyn who the mainstream (billionaire-owned) press portray as a poor and indecisive leader. In the course of the last six weeks, Mrs May has been shown to be anything but "strong and stable" - she called an election about Brexit and then wouldn't talk about actual Brexit, only how she would get a better deal than anyone else, she attacked the opposition's costings of their manifesto but offered back of a fag packet calculations for her own and then had to completely reverse one policy on social care of older people, and then she tried to make the campaign about strong leadership, but sent a deputy to the televised debate (a deputy whose father had died 48 hours earlier btw).

Meanwhile JC has kept showing up, being seen talking to real people, drawing massive crowds of support and showing himself in interviews and debates to be a good principled man, willing to cut the Westminster crap and talk like a real human being. He's become stronger and more stable as the campaign continued and now instead of a Tory landslide, we're looking at a potential hung parliament with a Labour-led coalition.
