Tesseraction posted:Corbyn is apparently set to meet with the smaller opposition parties to form a joint-brexit front. One of the problems with the left being split between Labour / Lib Dem / Green was the last election where Corbyn was ruling out a rainbow alliance, despite the sheer volume of people who's voting intention is 'Please god not the Tories.' Other problem is the red tops having free reign over telling everyone what a disaster a lib/lab coalition would be, so seeing it in practice might minimise the effectiveness of the tabloid screeching. If they went into a GE with an attitude of 'we can and will form a working coalition' it might be interesting to see how many people would vote Green / Lib Dem rather than tactically voting Labour, since the fear is a repeat of 2010 and the Lib Dems giving their votes to the loving tories again. Also it would probably mean TIG getting hosed further into political irrelevancy. Again though, dumbest timeline, end of Event Horizon etc.

I need some drug addiction advice (for a friend, honest). They've been taking methadone for a long time and are considering going to the GP and trying a) to get it legally and b) to get help to stop. But this would have serious implications for their employment and they live in a Universal Credit area. Does this sound like a good or terrible idea? Where can one get good, confidential advice about such things?

Bobby Deluxe posted:Idealism speaking here, but an alliance could be great if they can push for a GE after showing the public that they can (and will) work together. In Australia the Labor party at every state and federal election insists that they will never form a government with the greens, essentially 'it's us or not at all'. it's a rather lovely attempt to persuade people to vote for them, but unlike the UK - Australia has preferential voting and the Greens get more than 1.5 million first-preference votes, almost all of which end up going to Labor anyway and if they do indeed form government then they couldnt have done it without greens votes.

If you are involved in an accident and have not told the DVLA of your current medical condition then you may be prosecuted and your insurance may not be valid. If you're on methadone treatment it's considered a disability, and the DVLA along with your GP can come to a conclusion; if you're not on methadone treatment and are just taking it without medical approval, it's considered drug driving.

reading into marx; Dialectical Materialism just seems to be woowoo for "events are caused by physical things, also things change constantly," but gussied up so if you google it instead of a short definition you get thousands of words and six different dead people giving you coy and indirect treatises on it. its weird that marxism has a sort of spiritualism/religion attached to it but I suppose at the time it would have been opposing the christian just world stuff also who in the marxist/anarchist tradition is enjoyable to read? lenin seemed ok, i actually liked trotskys thing better but all I've read of them is their vague descriptions of dialectical materialism. Hows bakunin and kropotkin? the only anarchist stuff I've read is Emma Goldman but I do think anarchism in theory is the obviously morally superior ideology -insert that meme of marx falling down the stairs while bakunin yells at him-

That was a novel idea when it was first written, and is still actually not well accepted, really. People love to fall back on "if only we had the right leader" and attributing changes in history to individuals rather than inexorable conflicts of circumstances outside the control of anyone. Or even on the left people like to think that they can will a revolutionary vanguard into existence and have a chance to be part of the big changing movement in the world, rather than the formation of such a thing being determined by already existing conditions rather than anything to do with willpower.

'progressive' party alliances chat: Here's the thing - in the 2017 GE, 5 million people more voted against the tories than for the tories. Leaving aside the 2 million UKIP (who a cursory analysis indicate go approx 2/3 to Tory and 1/3 to Labour if UKIP drop out), that is still 3 million people more voting 'leftish' of Tory than for Tory, and I'm including SNP in this (very arguably). BUT we're SPLIT amongst labour, SNP, libdems, greens, bucketheads, etc etc. In our local town, we have quite frequent by-elections for the town council. There is a group called Indy ("party politics has no place at town council level and we're not a political party despite having a logo and rules for our reps" and mostly they're Yummy Mummys and their husbands) who on the whole are softly left but pro-Eu but not rabid like Fubpees. Not the same as "independents" who in our town are all tories who fell out with each other. We put up Labour candidates. The Indys put up candidates. Both campaign. But almost every time (except the last one when the local paper printed an article pointing out that the tory candidate had been a UKIPer or BNPer or some such and had written some foul stuff about immigrants so all the tories who hadn't already sent in postal votes switched to the Indy) the tory wins without doing a single bit of campaigning or leafleting and despite the fact that they only muster 1/3rd of the vote. I have asked our branch whether we couldn't just let the Indys have the town - there's only one ward labour ever has a chance of winning and not since the Indys turned up as the vote splits - they won't stand at county level it's against their rules and most would support our candidates at that level - but the local party refuses point blank. So we do pointless campaigning for seats we won't win - which I don't think helps our image much, wears everyone out - because it's always the same handful of people who do all the canvassing, stall minding etc, and meanwhile, with the split vote, the tories just get in by default and do things like vote down extra funding for the Citizens Advice or anything that might help actual people who actually live in the town. I completely appreciate that if there were to be such an agreement it would have to be entirely 'under the wire' as it is against LP rules apparently. But there's no chance of getting the tories out otherwise. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Mar 18, 2019 |
