I think some tory strategists must have decided corbyn is a real danger, especially with public sentiment seeming to turn somewhat on refugees - they're now attempting to whip up as much "bomb syria" sentiment (and hoorays for bombings that happen) as possible so they can use it to attack corbyn as weak/an appeaser if he wins, a classic strategy for right wingers opposing popular lefties

Guavanaut posted:Because there are opposite-sex couples that want civil partnerships that are legally barred from having them on the basis of their sexual orientation, which is contrary to the law. Aaah, gotcha. Thanks for explaining. I do still wonder about how worked up people get about this though - if you're a heterosexual couple just get married like everyone else has been doing since time immemorial. I can't see how it's worth spending lots of your own money trying to bring a court action over it.

A quick Google makes it seem like the Netherlands used to have a 20 year SoL, but that this was scrapped in 2004, or thereabouts. Daft thing to admit, indeed.

I can't see how it's worth spending lots of your own money trying to bring a court action over it. Scotland are planning to offer equal civil partnerships within the next year without a legal fight, and plenty of other countries already offer it. In the Netherlands about 10% of opposite sex couples opt for a civil union over a marriage (when they're not being shoved into canals by British TV personalities).

Cooper is ahead of Burnham with the bookies now which is interesting. Can't really explain why, I've not noticed any shift in representation of either of them, their campaigns seem to be exactly the same as they were three or four weeks ago.

She's had a higher profile with regards to the refugee crisis, it might just be a case of increased media coverage. Bit nervous about the news that half of those eligible to vote in the Labour leadership election have yet to do so, I hope we don't see a repeat of that Simpsons episode and everyone is complacent about a Corbyn win. I did like this snippet at the end though: quote:The intervention by Watson comes as the Labour MP Jonathan Reynolds, a supporter of Liz Kendall, said that Corbyn appeared set to win the leadership. Kendall faced embarrassment when Toby Perkins, her campaign manager, said that he had given his second preference vote to Andy Burnham on the grounds that he is more likely than Yvette Cooper to beat Corbyn. Perkins said he was acting in a personal capacity.

Prince John posted:Completely anecdotal, but that may be true. I had a pretty optimistic view of the racism situation in Britain, but when I mentioned that to my Asian friend he told me that he'd been sworn at twice just travelling to see me. Like random people pulling up next to him at lights and shouting "loving Paki". Pages and pages ago, I know, but I just have to add to this. As a person of semi-filipino descent who grew up in a small market town in the NE, British casual racism is rampant. For the first 15 years of life I was called everything under the sun. Lived there for 30 years in various regions from small towns all the way up to large cities and it was still just as bad almost everywhere. Worst was probably in Birmingham where a gang of youth followed me around spitting on my trousers and chanting "Paki, paki paki. Out, out, out.". That's closely followed by Newcastle where on an average week, after working at a bar I'd have someone come literally right up to my face and call me a paki, chink, gook or whatever they could think of. Thankfully I spent the last 8 years of my time in Britain in Brighton, which was like a multi-cultural heaven-on-earth compared to literally everywhere else I've lived in the UK.

All of these things keep turning out to be "Jeremy Corbyn is very open to talking to people he fundamentally disagrees with" and since he's stayed in the Labour party all these years that's hardly surprising.

coffeetable posted:aren't campaign managers supposed to understand how the voting system works No, he's right from an "anyone but Corbyn" standpoint because more second choice Burnham votes are expected to go to Corbyn than to Cooper than second choice Cooper votes are expected to go to Corbyn than to Burnham. If you are voting Anyone But Jeremy then you should vote for Burnham, as you need to stop Corbyn picking up sufficient second preference votes to get over the line (assuming he doesn't win in the first round). If Burnham gets knocked out early then Corbyn is more likely to be over this threshold than if Cooper gets knocked out early. eg. Let's say that you have 49 voters, with (of the other 48), 24 voting for Corbyn, 12 voting for Cooper and 12 voting for Burnham. You know that all of Cooper's voters' second choices are Burnham, and the Burnham voters are split 50/50 Corbyn/Cooper. If you vote for Cooper/Burnham/Corbyn (in that order), the following happens: Round 1 Corbyn 24 Cooper 13 Burnham 12 Round 2 Corbyn 24 + 6 = 30 WINNER Cooper 13 + 6 = 19 LOSER If you vote for Burnham/Cooper/Corbyn, Round 1 Corbyn 24 Burnham 13 Cooper 12 Round 2 Corbyn 24 + 0 = 24 LOSER Burnham 13 + 12 = 25 WINNER
