Count me as another person who just can’t be associated with the current labour party. My MP’s ‘alright’ and he’s hardly going to lose his seat (Jeff Smith, manc) so it’s pretty symbolic, but the leadership hates me and opposes just about everything I think is important, and just for my psychological wellbeing I’m not going to give my implicit consent to it. If I lived in a marginal with an SCG member standing my moral calculus might be different. Juche Couture fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Dec 9, 2021 |

I live in a Tory town slap bang in the middle of a Tory heartland. Our MP lives in the constituency in <checks notes> a houseboat on the Thames and has zero links to the region. His surgery office is slap bang in the middle of Until we get proportional representation, the system is flawed from the offset. I'd make a token vote towards a socialist Labour which will have zero effect... but voting for Labour in its current form? Nah. gently caress that.

I'll vote green because I'm in a safe labour seat. But if David Lammy was on the ropes and some tory oval office was trying to usurp him you can bet I'd vote Labour even if loving Blair was the leader

Count me in as another who wouldn't vote for this current version of Labour. I've never been a member but I've given time and money to campaigns, and that's not going to happen again either. Call me crazy, but I'll probably vote for the candidate who best represents my views. If it ends up being a 3-way race between Labour, Tory, and UKIP, I shall spoil my ballot. An election is a couple of years away yet, and Labour might be bankrupt by then.

Kier Starmer has tweeted that Boris Johnson is unfit to lead our country, and I had to doublecheck it was his verified account. This sounds dangerously like something an opposition leader might have said several disgraces ago.

I feel like by definition the opposition leader has to think the prime minister is unfit to lead the country because if they didn't think that it's hard to see why they have the job.

It's never ever ever "The Tories have ideology that gives bad outcomes for the people of the country" is it? Just "This *particular* Tory is bad at managing things". Of course Corbyn had the moral authority to say the first thing but Keith never will because it'd make all his loving red Tory politics an easy target.

We're headed for dark times and the only real question remaining is whether our species will be able to emerge from it in a position to try something better or if we'll collapse so hard that it's either Mad Max or regression to the Bronze Age and trying to claw our way back up. Or extinction.

Alastair Campbell must have reckoned that Boris might actually be toppled by this and even if it doesn't provoke a new election, if Keith can find a way to take credit for it, it'd be advantageous. In reality it'll be +3 CON but.

it is odd that he'd actually give an opinion, but not odd that his opinion would be weaker than a milkmaid's tit what is the actual reason for his consistent non-opposition? we can disregard his personal feelings because he's an absolute sock, but why are all his advisors telling him not to actually oppose the disgustingly lovely government? it's madness

[quote="Paperhouse" post="519860218"] what is the actual reason for his consistent non-opposition? [quote] Above all else, he wants to court the Tory/gammon vote. He's trying to literally steal votes from the Tories, or form a majority of mythical "floating voters". This has been Labour's conception of politics since at least 1997, with the exception of Corbyn. It's upside-down. They view non-voters as immutably being non-voters, and therefore the only votes to be won are people who vote Tory, and the only way you can win votes is by being sufficiently Tory, or at the very least very inoffensive to Tory voters. Corbyn showed that was a load of poo poo, and that by simply appealing to people not otherwise represented - i.e. left-wingers, you could make massive strides. But Sir Cop is obviously on the side of the establishment. At least that's my take. Also he's a loving wet wipe.

 I know whoever replaces him will be just as bad if not worse, but I can't help enjoying the sharks in the water. I've always thought the plan* was to replace Boris before the next election and run on a platform of "We are the only ones who can fix the mistakes made, we are in no way related to mophead". *the tories plan, Boris seems set on remaining in power for as long as possible. Likewise, replacing Starmer once the brexit/pandemic stuff is over allows labour to come in fresh. Again, He'll hang on for as long as possible. Again, the only improvment we can hope for is a slightly more charismatic melt.

ThomasPaine posted:I genuinely believe Labour would have won in 2019 if it hadn't completely shat the bed on its Brexit strategy. That was the issue of the moment, and they literally couldn't have hosed it up worse. Some of the blame obviously goes to the FBPE brigade for pushing them to argue for a second referendum, but Corbyn et al should rightly be criticised for capitulating to it, and even before that their position was nonsensical and contradictory where it wasn't incomprehensible. Corbyn held on as long as he could, but when close allies like McDonnel and Abbot started to publically turn on him over that it was kinda the end.

My booster took about 3 days to appear on the QR code thingy though lateral flow test I did in the morning before going for my booster appeared almost immediately. (I don't have an 'app' - not sure if it works in Wales anyway).
