One of the few silver linings to CumGate is that some of the people who voted Tory because they actually liked BoJo will now see what an irredeemable sack of poo poo he actually is. And he has finally managed to unite the country!

Honestly, I am having a hard time trying to remember a Tory government that didn't end in internal squabbles and self implosion. You would have thought this would be a huge red flag for people, but it generally just gets forgotten about. Even John Major, the most pedestrian and non-offensive PM in history had to see off challenges and votes of confidence.

John Major literally stepped down to trigger a leadership ballot that he went on to win in an attempt to humiliate the anti-EU bloc Where have we heard that strategy before

Illych L. posted:lol they've just gone mad with power at this point haven't they sorta, they've just figured out that there is no mechanism in the UK to actually enforce any consequences on them i think after all the brexit drama in parliament where just nothing could loving get done it laid bare that the government has no checks on it and also parliament doesn't actually function. i think this has been known to some MPs for a while but that really laid it out there for everyone to see. So i think its not just that they now know they are untouchable its that they now know the public and media knows they're untouchable too, so its kinda like, well what are you gonna do about it? the big reveal to me from the past few months has been that the government doesn't actually govern, it doesn't or can't do anything. in lieu of a functioning central authority the government seems to just spend its whole time creating media content and talking to reporters, in lieu of a functioning press ours in turn spends its whole time talking to politicians. so instead of a central government we've got some kind of bizzare media pocket industry that produces niche content of posh people lying to other posh people

corbyn ran for election on all of new labour's manifestos and by all indications was more of a team player than the blairites were under his reign still, one does what one must. i don't really begrudge sanders the biden endorsement, but i never felt that sanders was as stalwart as corbyn - corbyn always struck me as a sort of saint in a way that sanders never did. four years of constant media barrage never unearthed any impropriety or moral failing until they just fabricated something, and that's completely absurd after thirty years in politics and seventy as a human being

yeah as an American I was always very jealous that the worst thing anyone could say about Corbyn was that he was an anti-Semite, something that seemed demonstrably false even just from watching the regular news.

the worst thing you could say about corbyn morally was that he was *too* consistent, to the point of inflexibility and that caused issues with his personal and professional relationships, sometimes to the detriment of the cause or institution which, to reiterate, is a hell of a thing in a decades-long political career and even more so in a long life involving two divorces one of those divorces was literally because he refused to send his kid to an upper-class school because that'd be reinforcing an objectively malign influence on britain, and the worst the estranged wife could say about him was that he cared too much about politics and was pretty boring lol e. re: europe, the hope was that corbyn could demonstrate that a leftward turn was a viable way to government. it would legitimately have been a huge boost to socialists all over europe V.
