I don't think any party in the history of british politics has actually put forward a clown as prime minister before. It was brave for the conservatives to do so but maybe britain just isn't ready for that yet. hemale in pain has issued a correction as of 22:11 on Dec 12, 2019 |

foobardog posted:One of the biggest misapprehensions in politics right now is that elections are won by appealing to a vast middle. That may have been true once, but with the increasing polarization (at least in the US, I assume it's the same in the UK). The truth is much more that it's about getting your respective base out. The flip side of that coin is trying to depress your opponent's vote. Getting your loyal troops to the polls and convincing your opponent's supporters to stay home. That's what politics has become.

if you read frances weetman's mentions there are a bunch of jewish libs bemoaning the dreadful antisemonster Corbyn, and it got me to thinking: obviously this started as a transparent attempt to smear a genuinely left alternative, but by now surely some of its proponents believe it. libs are a stupid and credulous lot. it actually makes me really sad, some hopelessly dunderheaded middle aged lib mom working herself up into a frenzy of fear at the idea of Corbyn Camps. i'm not excusing it, not by any means! but it kind of bums me out to think that a lot of people who really want the world to be a better place are actively campaigning against the man who could do that because they've bought into a stupid conspiracy theory.

That may have been true once, but with the increasing polarization (at least in the US, I assume it's the same in the UK). The truth is much more that it's about getting your respective base out. I'd argue that the trend has been for parties to appeal to a tiny middle of semi-mythical swing voters. Both sides had a solid base they could rely on and it was all about swinging a small number of politically engaged people from one side to the other with bland focus group-tested policies. Centrist politics was boring and had no vision. It didn't attempt to engage with the biggest voting bloc - people who don't vote. What's happening with the Proper Boy, and with Bernie, is that they have vision and a message that appeals to the young, the poor, the disenfranchised - the people who traditionally don't vote and who were regarded as irrelevant by centrist politics wonks.

Centrist politics was boring and had no vision. It didn't attempt to engage with the biggest voting bloc - people who don't vote. I don't know what voter suppression looks like in Britain but corbyn has fewer structural hurdles to overcome at least, in that sense. no rampant voter suppression in places where poor people might vote for him, no gerrymandered districts, the media is kind of a toss-up between Britain and the US. corbyn also has more power as PM of a ruling party to enact a pretty radical legislative agenda right away.
