Privatisation is never a fix for inefficiency. The aim of a private business is to make money. If there is a way to make money while not having to fulfil the contract to the customer then a business is obligated to do this. This is the fundamental problem with privatised services. Services are for the public good but businesses have no such aims or desires.

I'm sunk in a deep depression today, and it's been building all week. I think it's because I genuinely have no hope of a good outcome. For Brexit and Trump and 2015 I had hope. False hope, but hope nonetheless. Now I have nothing. The tories are getting their landslide and Britain is gonna get completely hosed because the tories have proof that no matter what they put in their manifesto, no matter how blatantly evil they are, they will win.

So prepare for policies that gently caress us over harder and faster than before because why both with a pretense anymore?

Extra-parliamentary activism isn't impossible and it doesn't (necessarily) involve violent or criminal acts, don't be afraid of it. Resistance has been poor up until now but Corbyn and Labour aren't the final culmination of that, they're just the furthest we've managed to push the movement and giving up now is insane when they have honestly come this close to power.

If you're an activist, be encouraged.

Apparently Leeds North West, my constituency, has seen the largest amount of new registrations in the country. Hopefully that bodes well, as it's a lib dem/labour marginal, held by the lib dems at 3000. That'll at least get me through till 10pm when the drowning of sorrows can begin.

Also similar to someone else earlier, as someone who's been lurking these threads from the LF days, they've been an amazing resource in developing political awareness; I'm far more involved in local politics and activism due to UKMT than anything else.

A slim Tory majority is more likely to lead to hard brexit since May will be at the mercy of her backbenchers. A Tory landslide or a labour coalition will likely mean a softer deal.

No it wasn't, it was cheap and the government got the ticket money as opposed to random international hedge funds and foreign companies. Now it's so over complicated that far from the magic free market introducing efficiencies by some power of faith its hosed it up so hard its made it worse. In the train thread there's is a diagram you really need to look at.

TBF Oxford City is a labour stronghold (and having gone to a couple of Vice Chancellor's questions, the Oxford University Vice-Chancellor and administration are definitely not keen on the tories.)

I voted Lib Dem in West Oxford and Abingdon, as Labour aren't really a contender in this seat. Quiet this morning when I voted, but when I went back with my wife after work it was...brisk.

Many academics own.
