Whatever, I'll still vote Labour, and if she does get in then as a constituent maybe I can raise some hell about it if she doesn't shape up. I can certainly encourage my politically motivated trans and nonbinary friends to get involved

OwlFancier posted:One other thing I was wondering. Your CLP gets updated registers from the electoral roll over time, yeah? But it takes time for them to be sent out and longer for them to be loaded into labour's system. Our county electoral registration officer sent out all the new registrations as at approx 1st December - around 1500 - and I know they've all been sent (mostly hand delivered) an individual letter. ED: it wasn't just new regs it included changes of address eg myself was on it.

There is not violent insurrection, but you'd best make sure to tell people who it was that took their future from them, and that they must not ever be forgiven for it. No more mercy for the decrepit filth that can't conscience the slightest inconvenience for themselves so their children can have a future.

The fun thing about all these 65+ voters voting Tory is that they don’t realise that most of them are not actually that rich (without selling the house) and that paying for healthcare upfront is very expensive and no way would private insurance touch them with a barge pole

But if the Tories get a majority, there's always violent insurrection, right? If the tories win a majority, I wouldn't be remotely surprised to see things get violent in the next few years. Not right away; there'll be a sense of not being "allowed" to get lairy about losing an election and the tories will be able to say "Look we need some time to sort things out" that the press will present with minimal criticism. But once Brexit happens and things start accelerating downhill and people realize "Hang about the tories really have sold the NHS and we're all hungrier and poorer than ever"? Bets are off. However, I'm thinking a tory majority outright is very unlikely. A tory minority government? Possible, but just leaves us back where we are right now and I'd expect it to lead to another election within months. I think a Labour minority government is the most likely outcome (Especially as Sturgeon has been carefully leaving the door open a crack for supporting such a government). A Labour majority? Looks pretty unlikely as well, but I honestly think it's significantly more likely than a tory majority is. Maintain, if not unrestrained confidence, at least a degree of optimism! Look at how much energy we have, how many people will stick out the weather to see Corbyn speak, how many young people registered to vote, just the different levels of energy in the campaigns, the difference between an exciting and dynamic and forward-looking Labour manifesto vs. a tory manifesto that seems to be almost entirely "Brexit, and some afterthoughts", and historic evidence of the polls being, uh, shall we generously say, a little wide of the mark. We absolutely don't have anything in the bag, but we absolutely do have it all to play for!

The blair system is what produced the load of poo poo we've had to spend the last three years getting rid of in the labour party and it's also what left the tories with this shower of inbred morons as well. Technocracy produces the worst kind of careerist filth that does nothing but incestuously fornicate with their mates in the press because that's all they know how to do. gently caress the lot of them.

I'm anxious because my wee one is in hospital. She's only two weeks old but is a bit fevered and struggling with her breathing. It's likely a viral thing but they're now a bit worried it could be bacterial and ate prepping her for antibiotics. Doing bloods literally right now in what is likely one of the best children's units in the world. I'm pretty sure I am well off income wise in terms of the thread average although I would hardly be paying more tax under Labour. I would though. They could slap 50% on my national insurance to resource the NHS and I would pay it gladly. This election result looks touch and go at best to me right now and we might never solve all our problems with politics. But while there is still hope for a better tomorrow we have a moral duty to take it to these arrogant wreckers, who trade lives to serve their own ambitions, on every front.
