quote:“My mother took a huge part in showing me an ordinary life, including taking me and my brother to see homeless people,” Prince Harry was quoted as saying, referring to his elder brother, Prince William. “Thank goodness I’m not completely cut off from reality. People would be amazed by the ordinary life William and I live.”

Dreylad posted:I ought to write up something about what the Canadian Liberal Party nationally and provincially (in Ontario) is doing and has done historically to marginalize left-wing parties - and counteract their own growing unpopularity - by adopting popular left-wing policies at the right moment, but this is very true Another bit of evidence can be found in this interview with this 30 year old trade unionist who was just elected as a Labour MP: quote:Voters really seemed to respect the integrity and decency of Jeremy Corbyn. Back in 2010, when we lost the election, so many people in party politics found political guidance in the polls. They wanted to know what the British people thought on issues such as, say, immigration; judging by the polls, they would assume that anyone who didn’t take a tough line on that issue couldn’t perform well electorally. Unsurprisingly, Corbyn is still well to the left of a lot of potential Labour voters in certain areas like foreign policy or the monarchy but overall was seen as having good and consistent "values" that were supportive of regular people and their struggles. Focusing on being a credible and consistent voice in favour of working people goes a really long way when the public has gotten so inured to hearing the same tired sloganeering again and again.

I think it was zizek in tragedy and farce (or maybe it was living in the end times, I forget), that said that the left today had to start with putting forward moderate policy of the social democracy of yesteryear, because even that would be too intolerable and would get shut down, and in the process of shutting that down, the center exposes itself as purely self-interested in furthering exploitation, and that that would lead to communism and by god, he's right

lol when did Zizek turn into a trot?

I didn't think it was possible to get a bigger Schadenfreude-high than David Cameron going down in history as the pig-loving-brexiteer but somehow Theresa May's downfall seems even more personally humiliating.

If the call centre thing actually gets investigated the snap election could yet become an even greater farce
