Turns out being a communist is easy when your parents take care of everything for you, but when you grow up & have to deal with ungrateful tenants, your worldview shifts.

1. the ability to aspire to improve
2. the ability to just get on with it
3. the ability to be able to discuss ideas freely (like william blake)

Labour don't want anyone to improve, because if you improve you are better than someone, and that isnt allowed in socialism. They dont want anyone to get on with it, they want endless delays (brexit) or want to control your own life (raising taxes). And I dont need to tell you that being able to discuss ideas is bad for socialism, given the labour party's constant endorsement of safe spaces and gender ideology

none of those are racism. "racism has never been english" - billy bragg

The Lib Dems got a lovely AV referendum out of their coalition deal, which flopped because A) they picked the dumbest and least good AV system available B) the Tory government spent shittonnes of money campaigning against it

Since then none whatsoever

labour MP for a constituency that voted 65% remain. just completely loving his constituents

His constituency includes Canary Wharf, probably the most dependent area on EU membership in the country (even if it's also the most guillotine-worthy area of the country, that's another argument).

The man is a oval office of the highest loving order and has pissed the largest Labour majority in the country (and a seat that includes parts of the former seats of Clement Attlee and Kier Hardie, and the site of the Dockers Tanner Strike and Poplar Rates Rebellion) so completely down his leg that in 2015 it looked like it might be in play for the Tories (at least until the Rahman splinter parties all disintegrated and stopped splitting the vote, but his loving uselessness played a huge role in their rise)

He's retiring at the next election. This decision came within a week of the changes to trigger ballot policy at conference, but I'm sure that's a complete coincidence.

e: Because he's a full-spectrum wanker he would have been gone with or without Corbyn's rise - older members hate him because the Blairite NEC shanked Mildred Gordon to parachute him into this incdredibly safe seat, and his vacillation and attempts to divide and rule were a big factor in the Rahman/Respect catastrofuck so even the centrists in the local party loving hate him.

I think (hope) that if an extension gets through then the risk of no deal is still imminent but there is enough time for an election that they simply can't justify not supporting an election, which is vital that it happens before another referendum.
