what people in general need to realize is that the days of voting once every few years for someone and then disengaging from politics are over. constant agitation and support for the most radical measures is necessary with the threat of booting out candidates who don't fall in line. I don't know if the political organization is there yet, but it can be done


i don't know about the UK but in canada austerity tends to just impact the grunts so that their families need to rely on the food bank and their pensions get ratfucked, doesn't affect military procurement or the upper brass

The grunts hate Corbyn too but the austerity has meant that the troops are massively undermanned and have poo poo equipment like a diesel powered air craft carrier

The original context was Labour's loss of the Copeland by-election after which there was a lot of despair

Was RT'd into my feed and is worth remembering, this is very much an uphill struggle!

10pm GMT (like 5 mins) for exit poll.

If it's decisive that's basically it, if it's tight enjoy the next 8 hours of speculation
