No, they're broadly to the right of Welsh Labour ime. Candidates mostly range from socdem to lib, & if that wasn't enough range for you the membership includes a lot of actual fash (they've had a few fash elected officials too, but all the ones I know of were chucked out)

Yup. Any real detail and it's "broadband communism" and "nationalised sausages" or worse... "Errr the Nazis were socialists. They were NATIONAL SOCIALISTS; the clue is in the name!!!" which leads to "Jam-making social democrat plans to reopen Auschwitz".

Hard to believe any of the poo poo that went on when you look back.

Edit: Great. Now I've depressed myself again. Off to read some early Ballard to cheer myself up.

It's depressing to focus on the bits where we lose, it's hilarious when you remember that doublespeak and the BBC's Corbyn highlights reel were necessary moves from the many powerful sections of society that are quite aware of their total moral bankruptcy.

The UK's situation is poo poo enough I just read the thread every few days to keep up in between keeping myself busy, but eventually another opportunity will present itself, and we only need to be lucky once.

Very much looking forward to the worm-eaten brain-takes along the lines of "Now Sir Keir is PM we can stop worrying about the government's voting record and concentrate solely on his hair because he is just so compelling and competent and forensic!!!" or some loving poo poo.

It'll be nice to be able to dunk on him and have it matter, if I'm honest. As things stand the opposition is so weak that even criticising them seems utterly pointless.

loving Nadim Zahawi. Really? That man exists to turn up on the morning news & say whatever he's told by the government, there's no evidence he's ever had a single original thought.

I was left pretty :stare: a while ago after doing one of those blind "which policies do you most agree with" tests, and ending up closest to second the SNP, and first Sinn Fein. I guess the Gaelic surname has deeper roots than I realised. (hosed off that it doesn't get me an Irish passport, though.) But since I live in Bournemouth, I'm doomed to be represented by a particularly lovely little Tory who was Owen Paterson's acolyte.

Just enough time to ring Johnson and work out a more dignified exit. Suggests either that the VONC is successful or that it isn't and Brady is pressing his luck. I can't be bothered to wait up to find out, but the result will leak soon enough.

I'm comfortable voting Scottish Greens, they are mostly good. And have more MSPs than the Lib Dems now, which is very nice. And even more if SNP voters would loving understand that voting SNP/SNP is just granting Labour & Tories seats.
