"It's not your fault you voted for a thing lots of people told you would be bad". gently caress that.

Oh gently caress off. John Smith leave voter lives/lived in a bubble of selective/targeted media. It's like telling someone dying of lung cancer that "We did tell you smoking was bad!". Even if it's right it's not the loving point at this stage. The expectation that the average joe should be an expert on all these matters is loving bizarre. Reset your worldview to the real world my dude. If that was the case we wouldn't need politicians or a civil service.

Disagree. If folk feel like that we should forgive and welcome them. It's not us vs. them, far too many of them are just us who haven't realised it.

We should absolutely welcome folks who've realised they made a mistake, but we shouldn't coddle them by telling them it's not their fault. It's time for them to work to make things right.

Oh gently caress off with your one party state descending into full scale fascism. The Democrats will not save you.

I mean, yeah. They are about as weak as can possibly be and a big change in party leadership is needed. Democrats have the same issue where the leaders are mainly rich white people just like the Republicans.

"...how can we do that here."

(they did do that here by purging voter rolls and *then* asking the boundary commission to redraw)

The existence of a boundary commission is already a huge departure from the US “Whoever is in charge can do whatever “ system

Fair enough, but I thought the response in the interview was good - "Don't blame yourself, get angry."

Wanna bet JRM held off sending in his letter until he knew there were 47 in just so he could make the big dramatic gesture (and also because he's a loving weasel who didn't want to commit until he knew it would go through)

jrm is instrumental in orchestrating this, anything that happened would be flashy and conclusive

he is a man living in his father's shadow. this is a revenge story for him.

I'd think a leadership challenge knowing that there are no appealing alternative candidates, but who knows, I didn't expect her to want the 2017 snap election so...
