Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

If it's going to pass anyway they would better serve their constituents by fighting for those additions. Symbolically dying on a hill doesn't actually do much.

well if its going to pass anyway the amendments can still be tabled, a three line whip is an instruction to attend and vote as instructed - no abstentions allowed

forcing MPs to vote at this stage is an attempt to send a signal that the party is not opposed to Brexit on principle, a signal which MPs from remain constituencies might not want to send out

So, these amendments Corbyn wants. Are they what Americans would consider pork (i.e. the bill gets amended to also include "Send $$$ to that project!") or is it some kind to impose conditions on the Article 50 vote (i.e. If we do not get a deal that contains x, we no longer consider this an approval to Article 50)?

It's not meant to be "retroactive withdrawal of assent" it's just "don't gently caress over EU citizens living in Britain, assure X, Y and Z" which would mean that May has to give lip service to trying to provide those.

ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

tbh it's probably the wisest course of action from the leadership's perspective, but he's got effectively no control over the parliamentary party anymore, and this risks deepening some of those fissures

on the other hand, so would literally any other choice than having no official party stance, which would simply boggle the mind in its stupidity

yeah basically labours hosed. I don't even mind the whip coming out cause at least there's an attempt to formulate a party position. The decision not to challenge the governments severely truncated timetable for debate however was a real misstep IMO

I have no skin in the labour game but seeing them flail around is pretty embarrassing

I'd rather be the party that says "we told you this would be a disaster" 4 years from now than the party that says "we weren't opposed to this, but your implementation sucked" but I guess I assume many Brexiteers shouldn't be given that much credit for interpreting nuance.

Maybe if Leave had won in a landslide?

please help me dad chat. I want information on education policy as it relates to the charter and school voucher/choice movement; my take on it was that voucher like programs don't do much more than preserve existing levels of school segregation ('choice' means sending your white kid to school with other white kids). This is especially problematic considering integrating schools is like the only thing we know of that has a strong, measurable, and consistent [positive] impact on student performance.

Anyone have good books, links or policy papers?

https://www.amazon.com/Hope-Despair-American-City-Schools/dp/0674060261/

it's about the use of economic integration vs racial, and how smaller school systems reinforce segregation

the irony comes in that a bunch of people from new york tried to destroy the system so their kids didn't have to go to school with the blacks and mexicans
