LemonDrizzle posted:During its last tenure in government, the Labour party invested heavily in the NHS, the education system, and social housing, and also significantly expanded the welfare state via the tax credit system. Don't forget minimum wage and because of the NHS investment WHO declared English mental health services the best in Europe. Fluo fucked around with this message at 14:07 on May 11, 2014 |

It even says Scottish right there "Scottish Tories do exist though they're called the Labour party" was said, not "Scottish tories do exist though they're called the Scottish Labour Party". Hey man you're the one who was splitting hairs.

Alecto posted:They also engaged in a lot of privatisation (prisons, NHS, planned the Royal Mail privatisation), huge deregulation of the financial sector, were ridiculously fond of PFI, presided over a rise in inequality (some of which has to be attributed to their complacency over redistributive tax and tax avoidance), egged on the housing bubble, introduced workfare, introduced academies. Then of course the really, really big one, for which they deserve to be unelectable for a generation, Iraq. They weren't conservative, they were generally better than the modern Tories (on quite a few issues worse than the pre-Thatcher Tories, though), but they weren't leftist either. If you want centrist liberalism, then that's fine, but I think most here want something a good deal more leftist than that, and I don't think we should start snarking people for being dissatisfied with New Labour; there's a wealth of reasons to be. So who you voting for? The Libdems again?

mfcrocker posted:Given that we are looking for Scottish tories it's a bit daft to assume we're talking about English Labour but hey, takes all sorts I guess. Labour Party is a party of the United Kingdom, when talking about Scottish Tories (note without "party" part) then saying they're called the Labour Party (note with "party" part) it's pretty forgiving for thinking they meant the Labour Party and not Scottish Labour Party. But ignore that lets smash the state acab. Labour are tories, all vote Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) and lets frack our brains out with these awesome trot papers!

Alecto posted:Totally irrelevant really; I don't think the Tories have ever not won here. Green in the EU though; they stand a decent chance of a seat. (Yes, I did know a significant number of Lib Dems are far from left-wing; that's why I've never voted for them.) There's still some Blairites within the Labour Party but I think if they aren't given enough powers it will make them more votable. David Milliband is a massive Blairite, Ed Milliband however isn't and wasn't traditionally compared to his brother, and the big Blairites like John Rein, Alan Milburn, Hazel Blears, David Blunkett etc. However when trying to get some votes for leader he did say he is a 'fan' of Tony Blair and has spoken in praise of 'early Blairism'. Take that as you will, either means he was trying to take some of the votes that would have default went to David Milliband or if he was a fan honeymoon period of Blairism (eg all the stuff he did prior to the Iraq War). Edit: Long story short: The better of the two brothers got picked. Fluo fucked around with this message at 14:51 on May 11, 2014 |

TinTower posted:The system that we use, the D'Hondt system, is biased slightly towards larger parties. It should be Saint-Laguë, which biases towards smaller parties. No, it should be a system which isn't bias. If it was biases towards smaller parties half of the EU would be the fourth Reich. España 2000, SRP, National Renovator Party, BNP, National Front (Albania), National Popular Front, Workers' Party (Czech Republic), Greater Romania Party, Brothers of Italy – National Alliance, Croatian Party of Rights, Slovak National Party, Golden Dawn, Attack, Order and Justice, Vlaams Belang, National Democratic Party. The list goes on like the Netherland's Party for Freedom. Bias either way is bad and wanting it so your politics is louder then others is wrong and self absorbed. What you should be saying is "It should be non-bias" not "it should be bias for MY POLITICS". It's democracy.

I'm sure everyone had a nice laugh, a good night was had, and no war crimes were committed. What's the big deal? It's a thread trend lately to bring up 3-4 year old news about Labour to try and make it seem they are worse then the Tories so in a couple of years time when they start voting Tory they don't feel so bad. That nazi uniform at a fancy dress party is news on The Daily Politics back in 2009/2010. Also just post the full photo, cropping is pretty dumb.

It has to be top fermenting yeast to be ale.
