Darth Walrus posted:Remember that Abbott initially had a total nothing job in Corbyn's cabinet, and slowly fell upwards thanks to all the resignations. If a good GE performance gets more of the PLP back on-side, I can see a reshuffle in the works. Who in the PLP should replace Abbott as Home Secretary in a hypothetical Labour government? I agree Abbott needs to be demoted and a unity cabinet would be the right angle, but there has to be some consequences for the coup and general PLP petulance.

CoolCab posted:the leadership could never go to anyone who was staunchly Remain or Leave, too much blood left in the water after that campaign. may cinched it by hedging her bets and not picking a side before the vote, which lead to the farce of party leader and prime minister with no competency at campaigning.

OwlFancier posted:She was pro remain but not as vocal as most of the big names. And she made a bunch of "I'm Remain but boy it works be nice to get rid of the EU's human rights court" style statements - again, she had the savvy to hedge her bets. The field then came down to sore losers and triumphant liars who couldn't possibly deliver and May who hadn't pissed anyone off.

Oberleutnant posted:lol at this article It's a little better than it was now we have devolved governments and city mayors. But if you want a contrast, look at America. After Trump pulled or out of the Paris agreement a bunch of states that collectively make up something like 40% of US GDP said "lol gently caress you we'll implement Paris ourselves". That's just unimaginable in Britain because local government is toothless.

Zephro posted:They did, but the point stands. Britain is massively centralised compared to every other advanced country. One reason the North has been left to rot for so long is councils and cities have no power to do anything about it, so you're entirely reliant on begging money and political attention from Westminster. And even with the best will in the world (which of course we haven't had) Whitehall has only so much cognitive bandwidth and will never have as good an understanding of the situation on the ground. It doesn't help that the attitude, sometimes by people in this thread, is "if you're successful you'll just move down south anyway". Way to miss the point. Which is that there shouldn't be a reason successful people flee from part of what is a relatively small nation. You fix the loving problem! edit: aggression not directed at anyone in particular.

"A population is easier to manage when it is divided. Labour and Tory should unite for the common good then the public would be harder to manipulate as the press wouldn't be biased anymore. By having people argue between one another and take sides between them leaves no room for progressive conversations and listening." Why can't everyone just get in a room together and sort it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaht

Cefte posted:He was in a strong position immediately after the referendum, and blew it between Friday and Monday by not putting in the legwork with the '22 and his potential Parliamentary power base. Instead he stayed home and celebrated, and the field opened. Then Gove put the knife in him the morning of the day he was going to formally announce, but it was already too late. He always had an air of being unserious, but loving about for those three days confirmed it. I thought he stayed home and shat himself because he wasn't expecting us to actually Leave; he was gearing up for a run in a few years against or after Cameron.

I remember bashing my head against the seat in front of me during a QA with Blair Jenkins when a law student at Aberdeen uni said "all of the good legal jobs are in London, won't independence make it much harder for me to move there and get a job?" and just argh.

Previous greatest hits have included boycotting the water company and proceeding to poo poo and piss in his own back garden for weeks in protest. That sure showed 'em!

That Yougov model just goes to show how ultimately hosed-up our political system is. SNP gets 4% of the vote, and gets 46 MPs. Lib Dems get 9% of the vote, and get 12 MPs. Twice the voters. A quarter of the representation. Fake edit: gently caress, that's not even the worst of it. UKIP gets the same vote share as the SNP, but gets no MPs at all, while Plaid Cymru gets 0% of the vote and gets twice the MPs the Greens get on 2%
