OwlFancier posted:I can't remember what the malfunction of the various UK communist parties is to be completely honest. IIRC the major British communist party was essentially run by Moscow, and when the Soviet Union collapsed so did they because they didn't have much in the way of original native leadership.

Yet another example of communism leading the way. We were collapsing parties due to leadership failures decades before neoliberalism managed to do it.

Yesterday was poo poo apart from politics, which is not something I was expecting to say. Now I'm off to teach my team how to protect themselves from a sadistic dick-swinging middle-management duo who thought it would be cool to have two separate meetings yesterday to humiliate two people they shouldn't have brought onto a project in the first place, so they could ultimately kick them out and make giddy jokes about how hardcore they are. It was gross, unprofessional and incredibly unpleasant, and affected me pretty badly, but after some time to reflect I'm loving ready for this Have a great day UKMT, you're wonderful <3

Hardcore, Maurice Glasman, "leader" of Blue Labour, is hanging out with the Communist Party of Britain, brought together by Brexit.

A good morning to wake up to after a terrible evening. (Tory FiL reduced wife to tears. But this was made better when I got to tell him Johnson had lost his majority.) One thing that's just crossed my mind - JRM and his likes have been shorting the pound for months - we could see a situation where Corbyn takes command, halts NDB, and causes the pound to spike - costing them millions! MAKE IT HAPPEN! EDIT - also happy my MP no longer a Tory..... Grey Hunter fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Sep 4, 2019 |

Feels like a real change is in the air. The criticism of Mogg is particularly interesting. He's historically been mocked for being out-of-touch and archaic in a way that's broadly complementary and playing into his character. Portraying him as lazy and slovenly is a real change in tone, and one he can't play off of. I could easily see the press going for May for being shite, and even going for Johnson as the fall-guy for brexit....but Mogg was a bit of an institution and fan-favourite. Someone behind the scenes has had enough. Looking forward to the Tories having to enter a GE with Johnson as their leader, with a party utterly fractured over brexit and with the Brexit party nipping at their heels.

As I keep saying, the Right-Wing worship Strength above everything else, so the second someone shows weakness or a change in character they start trying to eat each other.

Ms Adequate posted:It's truly, truly amazing. Most people were expecting that if we won this vote at all, it would be by a margin of like, one. If one wished to be very optimistic, you'd push that as high as five! Everyone was convinced that we'd be lucky to see more than one Tory do this, half a dozen would be at the very wildest bounds of plausibility; 21 was bonkeys Looney Tunes talk. This is what I still can't believe. I was so sure that at best we'd see half a dozen rebels and No Deal would hang on by a slim margin. For 22 Tories to suddenly grow a spine all at once shows just how badly Boris has hosed it up. Even May at her worst still kept the party loosely united together for 3 years. Boris has managed to un-do that in a single day in an impressive display of arrogance and incompetence.

qhat posted:Are the opposition going to vote for an election on October 14th? It depends. They want to first pass a block on no deal. The issue with just allowing an election to be called is Johnson can use it to delay the opposition and then move it at the last minute to after October 17th. Hes shown already he is willing to abuse his powers to undermine opposition.

qhat posted:Are the opposition going to vote for an election on October 14th? Once an extension is legally secured, yes. They don't want to risk Boris overturning the bill once Parliament has shut down. Also the date is now expected to be the 15th, as the Tories have finally caught onto the poor optics about about holding an election on a Jewish holiday while accusing their opponents of antisemitism.

Lots of media Tory supporters wittering about how Labour are clearly going to be in trouble if there is an election and how it'll be simple to win etc. It's the pure imbecility that gets me sometimes.

Ms Adequate posted:It can be done more quickly but it requires fairly unusual circumstances, cf. post-WW2 Germany and Japan (And Japan isn't exactly the most flourishing, hundred-schools-of-thought democracy around even by Liberal Democracy standards) The missing ingredient to a successfully implanted democracy is bombing the population back to the stone age and inflicting gross national trauma on them. I was just in Japan and they make their primary and preschool children go through the Hiroshima memorial. This includes all the gory bits that even I find quite disturbing. I think the Western world could stand to learn something from that to reduce all the warmongering that goes on.

I mean yeah it's gonna be hard for labour to put together something that will appeal to everyone they need to. But it's gonna be a bit harder, I think, for boris to mount an effective election campaign having just hosed his party and possibly brexit too
