I agree, though, that pedigree dogs are at an unfair advantage thanks to networking, and mutts should really have more access to political power without having to sniff every butt in Westminster.

thespaceinvader posted:Yes, there is. There's also a certain irony in Corbyn's electoral performances to date being held as unelectable, despite the fact that he's passed every arbitrary electoral test his opponents have set for him, up to and including the EU referendum, and has yet to lose an election he has personally fought. So you acknowledge that the leader of Labour did not fight to remain in the EU but instead watched from the sidelines as Farage, Gove and Johnson destroyed the future of Britain? Is that the leader you want?

Vengeance of Pandas posted:Worth mentioning for Scotland that after the SNP got in they not only increased local authority builds but enacted the suspension of Right to Buy in pressured areas with high demand for council houses before stopping it completely. 1442 new council houses in 2015-16, woo. Get to 14,000 new builds and we'll start talking. I'm not going to dip into witless pedantry by saying Right to Buy hasn't stopped yet because it ends in 7 days, but the SNP did set it up so they could sell as much of the old housing stock as possible before closing the scheme down. Discounts continued to increase and everyone had I think it was four years to take up the offer. The suspension of RTB was also a blatant sop - Scottish council tenants have secure tenancies; stopping them buying their homes did absolutely nothing to relieve demand.

I mean, technically, a dog wouldn't have called a referendum on the EU. That would have required complex communication and political reasoning that a dog just isn't capable of, even a very clever dog. A dog as prime minister would objectively have been better for the country than Cameron.

I mean we're at a point we can safely establish that Cameron was a worse PM than Thatcher during their respective reigns, and that Osbourne was probably the worst chancellor ever (apart from GCs personal hero), thankfully they won't leave behind any real lasting ideology because they were too loving thick to even contemplate one

Jedit posted:1442 new council houses in 2015-16, woo. Get to 14,000 new builds and we'll start talking. Your post led me to the official statistics for house building in Scotland, which show some interesting variations. While local authority house building specifically is higher than it has been since the late 80s, the overall number of new dwellings per year under the SNP is significantly lower than any period going back to the start of the data in 1980 (n.b. the SNP came to power in 2007, right before the financial crisis). This drop has occurred in both the private and social sectors, with housing association building - which still dwarfs local authority building - falling rapidly under the SNP. Purely anecdotally this surprises me, since there appears to be (and have been) a lot of visible HA building in Glasgow over the last few years, especially New Gorbals and Scotstoun - it's worth noting the stats only go to Q4 2015, although I don't think it's all that credible that there's been an explosion of building in 2016 specifically. It also seems (again anecdotally) like there's been a huge amount of student accommodation going up in partick/along the kelvin in the last 4 or 5 years, but I don't know if that sort of thing contributes towards the above figures.

Killed By Death posted:Possession of basically any political reasoning whatsoever would preclude calling a referendum on the EU though, surely? It was a pretty smart move politically, not unreasonable to say it pushed the Tories over the top into getting a majority. The problem was that Cameron overestimated his own/his teams campaigning skill and underestimated how much the right-wing press helped his success. The one time he had to fight a campaign without them on side he lost. It's hubris really, except instead of his own downfall it's the country that's doomed.
