Kreez posted:Does anyone know how long and under what circumstances a British citizen must be in the UK in order to register to vote? For Commonwealth citizens if you have leave to remain, you can register to vote, it's pretty clear. No such black and white details for British citizens. You'd need to call an electoral office and ask. I emigrated from Norn Iron 5 years and happened to be back there working during the Assembly elections early this year. I called the electoral office and asked if I was eligible to re-register and they said I'd need 6 months residency before being granted a Stormont vote again.

Found an article from the New Statesman with a nice quote from Neil Kinnock last week:Neil Kinnock posted:There is no honest measure of success and failure other than success equals Labour gains, Tory losses and at least a tight finish with possibility of a minority government. Failure equals Labour losses, Tory gains and an increased Tory majority.

I don't care what any of you say, Corbyn was awful his first year and it wasn't entirely the PLP's fault they wouldn't back him. He was a long term backbench rebel MP who was thrust into a job he didn't particularly want and whose demands he didn't know how to meet. But now that he has clearly hit his stride and grown into the role, I can certainly see the case that Corbyn might actually be the loving boy

To be fair JC's weak points have been the bits in between elections. Except for a couple of weeks before the general where they just started to finally get their poo poo together, get a proper media strategy going etc. I'm much more confident this time around, given that and the PLP looking like they might've actually got the message finally. Also I still can't believe we're here and that Thursday night wasn't just a dream. I had to stay up cramming for an exam in the morning and it should've been one of the worst nights I've ever had, but it was just loving glorious. If it turns out I didn't fail, I attribute it to Corbz.

But now that he has clearly hit his stride and grown into the role, I'm can certainly see the case that Corbyn might actually be the loving boy Eh, I'd not go nearly as far as awful (it was bad at times, less so at others), and of as you say yourself he was in a job he was unprepared for having never even served in a shadow cabinet role before so it was obviously going to take a bit of time to get his sea legs (nor any of his advisors). Elements in the PLP were quite unwilling to give him that time, and were out to sabotage him from day 1, hell, even from before that initial leadership campaign was over you had people saying he'd amount to nothing. Even if you give them a pass for that, forcing the leadership election that they quite obviously could never win when Jeremy had made it crystal clear he would only step down if he lost support of the membership was spectacularly stupid and tone deaf. The chicken coup was an utter shambles, and these people don't even have the loving excuse of not having been in the corridors of power before! So no, I think you give the PLP far too much of a pass, & while I'm quite happy to let history remain in the past & see any Labour MP who is willing to accept the 2017 manifesto as the Labour platform sit in the Shadow Cabinet so we can finally have a united Labour Party getting behind its leader at a time when the country desperately needs it, Angela Eagle & Owen Smith's leadership challenges were loving stupid. That's just what it is.

Yeah the leadership fights meant we got an insanely battle-hardened leader with experience running a national campaign. Meanwhile the Conservative coronation meant they got someone who collapsed spectacularly under pressure.

But now that he has clearly hit his stride and grown into the role, I can certainly see the case that Corbyn might actually be the loving boy I mean it wasn't just whether Corbs was the best leader of all time, which I think got meme'd out of the discussion a lot - it was that if he resigned then there was very few people in the left that a) were let through into Parliament through the Blair years and b) could possibily ever again get nominated now that they knew the membership was ready to vote for people who didn't agree with them. Corbyn staying on was not just about Corbyn but about the left keeping its hold on the party by the skin of its teeth. e: hi Fans I don't have PMs because I am a worthless scrounger but sign me up! cheers.

spectralent posted:Ironically I think the leadership challenges helped, because we've now got tons of veteran volunteer campaigners and campaign organisers. From simply getting on to the ballot at the very first leadership challenge all the way to last week, Jeremy Corbyn has through some combination of guile and sheer dumb luck capitalized on every attack on him. He'd was put on the ballot to be a an old leftist punching bag as a contrast, and turned that into a crushing victory. They took another swing at him and not only did they fail to dislodge him they cemented his position and fed his team experience and talent. The entire British press spent months bashing him so viciously that May thought she had an open goal (before realizing she was facing the wrong direction) and yet he somehow did it again. Man's a wizard. I don't get it at all, but I love it.

I think the one thing we have to remember is soon enough we're going to have a bigger proportion of the population who remembers the hell that was the Thatcher years and this current austerity shite, let alone the misery Brexit is going to bring as opposed to the bad labour years of the 60s and 70s. Things are looking up, they really are

Mr. Flunchy posted:The opposition in this country are referred to as the 'shadow' government. They're mandated to wear all black in public and must conceal their faces when Parliament is in session. They're tasked with undermining their 'light' counterpart by any means necessary. You could really sell people on this as fact with the pictures of Lord Buckethead alongside May etc.
