As England heads to the polls on election day, Labour Party leader and Prime Minister candidate Jeremy Corbyn has proven himself a solid memer.

In a well-executed Bait-and-switch, Corbyn posted a tweet offering a statement on some "personal images from my past" that had leaked to the press. His tweet included a link which, rather than bringing users to an apology for some embarrassing pictures from, say, when he got too enthusiastic around Halloween, he linked to a site where voters could find their polling location.


As far as creative ways to encourage people to vote go, this is certainly much better than Pokémon GO to the Polls. Nevertheless, supporters took the opportunity to speculate on the supposedly scandalous pictures Corbyn could've been referring to (in good humor, of course).


Others admired the cheek of Corbyn to tweet such a joke ahead of such a monumental day.


Mostly, people just sat back and heaved sighs of relief and chuckles at Corbyn's joke.




While early exit polls show a lead for conservative party, Corbyn seemed to have a good meme day while Twitter dunked on his main opponent for hiding in a refrigerator.

"Hiding in a fridge"
AKA ignoring the journalist and carrying on with the publicity work he's doing.

Once again proving that 'popular on Twitter' does not equal 'popular in the country as a whole'.

Hey, UK? Why are you run by these muppets? Is there literally no one else in your country willing to run as a politician?

>labour sucks but the memes tho
no.
the tories are one thing, but there's a very plain reason as to why May was able to reveal herself as the bride of dracula, and regularly bathed in the blood of peasants stilled won a minority

I'm sure it doesn't help the slew of labor anti-Semitism problem constantly in the press.

I think that people, especially businesses, were more concerned about Labour's nationalization plans and their spending proposals in hundreds of billions, like for NHS (in new taxes of course), for example. Didn't they also promise FREE Internet… for 12 to 25 billions of pounds? Holy fucking taxation Batman.
