Maybe it's like in the Sandman where people were in Hell because they felt they deserved it? feedmegin posted:This bit is pretty new, though (exceptions: Liberal (Democrats), Northern Ireland). Like, when I was first eligible to vote back in the 90s, Plaid and the SNP were not really a thing and the Lib Dems were the comedy joke never going to be in power option. It was still pretty much Tories vs Labour. Right but the DUP would just be some tiny, easily ignored regional wing of the GOP in America. I think these special interest/regional parties having some viability, voice and weight instead of just two juggernauts smashing up against each other nonstop is more democratic? I dunno. EDIT: By that I mean having to listen to and pay attention to these parties with regional concerns is more democratic than a system where they could just be steamrolled all the time. DUP are poo poo though Lightning Lord fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Jun 11, 2017 |

Now that it looks like the Blairites have come grovelling back is Corbyn going to start sticking some in his shadow cabinet? After her 'performance' I can see Abbott being replaced. I worry that this is a bit of a flash in the pan for Labour and once the tories get a half decent leader and be able to run a much better campaign they'll be able to build on their 50-odd seat lead in the next election. I'd hope that a few people that are seen as more centrist can pull in some voters while we still get full Corbynism now.

I hope we'll actually unite as a party and get poo poo done because I do think most of the Blairites generally did have concerns that no-one was going to vote for Jam Socialism and have been proved incredibly loving wrong (go not-olds!), but we shall see.

Don't young people realise their role is to constantly be shat on and have their live chances and opportunities for happiness be slowly shrivelled away? £70 billion pounds off taxes for the rich, apparently not a bribe. £200,000 off the price of a house with right to buy, apparently not a bribe.

Corbyn's plan he outlined on Marr seems pretty good. Put down an amendment to the Queen's speech with a bunch of stuff from the Labour manifesto that the DUP, some Tories and the public will find attractive, like keeping the winter fuel allowance, guaranteeing the rights of EU nationals, etc. etc. Hugely embarrassing for the government to lose, will irritate the public even more if they win.

That's a better idea than fighting to be king of the shitheap at the moment so yeah, good plan.

On friday everyone was really jubilant and felt... powerful isn't quite the right word but it's in the ballpark. Most people see this result as a victory and winning tends to energise people. Not to mention the DUP's social conservatism is going to piss off almost every young person in the uk. Edit: dispatch_async posted:

Lightning Lord posted:What's Abbott good at? What position should she be filling? Abbott has been in select committees or shadow cabinet positions all over the place with the exception of Treasury or environment/rural issues, potentially she could be anywhere. I think the issue is that she gives poor interviews and is hated by the press visibly more than other lefties so she's a favourite target no matter what she does, rather than her being poor at a position

TACD posted:It might actually be time to dust off the Photoshop and whip up a :corbynsmug: emote. Labour were ahead with every group under 55, which must terrify the Tories. Also apparently Corbyn has made publicly endorsing the manifesto, including the commitments to nationalisation, a requirement to join the shadow cabinet. Meaning anyone who wants to have a shot at being a real life government minister when Labour gets into power has to get on board the socialism train. Glorious.

Acaila posted:Yesssssssssssssss! Brilliant move! Yeah that's amazing. The only reason anyone could refuse to do that is to pretty much admit they don't share popular Labour values and so shouldn't be in the cabinet/Labour at all, while setting a hard line on what sorts of policies they would come out with in future. While not appearing putative or threatening at all. Depending on what happens at conference I think Jeremy has won.

What a loving boss. Regarding Diane Abbott, I'm in favour of rehabilitating her. She's a veteran MP, her constituency loving loves her (this cannot be overstated, she got a bigger majority than Jeremy Corbyn for fucks sake) and she's the first female black MP with the torrents of racist mysogynist abuse that goes along with that, but despite that has held her seat for thirty years straight. This is not someone who cannot do politics. Those interviews were godawful, but I would have thought with some intensive coaching that's an issue she can overcome.

It shouldn't really have been that unexpected, in retrospect: it's just that since austerity began the south and east has slowly started being treated like the North has been for decades. People down here have been shaken out of their comfort zones, looked around, and gone "Well, maybe the Tories are poo poo after all? "
