Ukip’s general secretary, Jonathan Arnott, is to resign over the weekend after the party’s disastrous performance in the general election, the Guardian understands. Arnott, the Ukip MEP for the north-east of England, is understood to be unhappy that the party “victimised and demonised” Muslims in its rebranded integration policy. He personally disagreed with Ukip’s burqa ban policy and thought other policies on female genital mutilation were “crass and ill-conceived” and delivered in a way that was “clumsy and blundering”. His departure from the role of general secretary follows the resignation of the party leader, Paul Nuttall. Arnott is to resign after the party’s national executive committee meeting on Monday but is expected to announce his decision in the next two days.

Look into my eyes and tell me you don't think Turnbull would have enough hubris in him to call an election 3 years early if he thought he smelled enough blood. Do it.

Lid posted:Still think that it was Trump that ended the worlds flirtation with fascism. America died so we could live. I'm coming to believe this as well. It's kinda insane. Trump and his minions are just so ugly and hateful and incompetent that people are being repulsed from their bullshit. That and his Nixon speedrun attempt. I'm starting to hope that the ugly lurch to the right the world has been going through since 2001 may finally be starting to adjust back to something less loving evil.

There's no such thing as a decent Australia journalist, especially one who's task is to comment/critique on the political scene. Holy poo poo Mayne has gone off the rails since his Crikey days. But as I have previously mentioned, he was an ex Liberal Staffer for Kennett, so it shouldn't be too surprising

What happened to us, why is blatant cronyism and lying just accepted. What previously would have destroyed candidates is now a daily occurance and im exhausted pointing at it and asking why is noone outraged, and why any outrage about it is ineffective.

Birdstrike posted:greg jericho bithc Yeah, one person. Meanwhile the rest of the press gallery just parrots whatever the Coalition and occasionally what Labor says. When was the last time a political journo actually asked a politician uncomfortable questions about their portfolio? Why isn't Dutton being dragged through the mud with him running Concentration Camps in off shore locations? How the gently caress is the racist backwards views of that hellbeast Pauline Hanson still given oxygen in the media? Why are the youth the first to get a kicking by our politicians when it comes to budgets cuts and assistance programs, whereas Baby Boomers reap the benefits of our out of control property market? Why isn't Turnbull and Abbott being exposed for their constant lies? Why the gently caress are Murdoch's shitrags and feral right wing commentators able to set the agenda? Why aren't they being called out for their hosed up racist views? Why has the non-Murdoch media, with the exception for some independent media, become some toothless? Where's the left's version of Andrew Bolt? And why why is anything that looks like it could be a social good, be it a raise in basic wage or higher taxes for the rich some sort of Communist plot? gently caress the political situation in this country. gently caress the Liberal and Labor uni students who step out of their shithouse inward looking club houses straight into either a seat or staffer position in parliament without even getting exposed to the real world. gently caress the minority forcing the political agenda in this country - why when most Australians want same sex marriage and euthanasia we still have a tiny vocal fuckwit bunch stopping it? gently caress

"You can't be anti-establishment enough", said a right-leaning sitting senator of the major centre-left party. What even are centre-right convictions? I believe strongly that other people who believe in things strongly are wrong and that the other side not being in power is important, but not as important as keeping the loving Greens out of power I swear to loving GOD if you young fucks vote Green this country will go to poo poo.

Bogan King posted:In news that will shock exactly zero people the ALP has learned nothing at all. Yup. Let me paraphrase what the ALP learned from the UK elections: It would be very unwise for Australian Labor to tailor a message to the voters based around the principles of integrity and fairness that Corbyn consistently displayed. Because Australian politics is so rotten to the core you'll never see a federal ICAC.
