Blair - who people wanted to vote for - is responsible for people not wanting to vote for Corbyn. I. See. https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/836914493976416256 Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Mar 1, 2017 |

Miftan posted:Now is the time it's taking to recover from the long term damage that Neoliberalism (Blair) has done. What 'recovery'? That's why they're voting for the centrist, neoliberal Tory party instead. It's a protest vote because Labour isn't left wing enough.

A lot of people here and elsewhere suggest Corbyn needs to do things which involve him being somehow more aggressive or to-the-point. The guy simply doesn't have it in him.

jabby posted:The trouble is that if you want a left-wing Labour party he can't actually go home, not unless there's a rule change allowing a successor. Are you suggesting an appointed successor rather than one that is voted for by the labour membership?

jabby posted:As someone who is so interested in the leadership of the Labour party I refuse to believe you're unaware of the proposed rule change needed to enable a leader from the left of the party to succeed Corbyn. The only rule change I've heard of is the reduction in the percentage of MPs needed to nominate a candidate - are you referring to something else?

The mother of a friend of my wife was recently judged fit to work at the age of 62 after a lifetime on sickness benefits for mental health issues and chronic epilepsy. Last night my wife's friend found her mother dead on the floor, following an epileptic seizure most likely brought on by stress.

The confusion has arisen because while labour may support that amendment and others, their insistence on running a three line whip on the unamended bill indicates that their support for Brexit is greater than their desire for rights for EU citizens. Maybe a bit of grandstanding would help people understand their muddled position because right now they're nothing to anybody.

Nobody's talked about it for hours and the only person to give it much thought was a CDFer desperately attempting to mitigate the loss. There is, however, one person wha thinks they're worth talking about. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Breath Ray posted:Oh absolutely. I holidayed in Devon for the first 20 years of my life. Couldn't believe it when I heard they were redeveloping bantham! But latterly my family have started to prefer cornwall for some reason even though it's another hour in the car. I think the idea is there are fewer common ppl the further you go but they are making inroads even there. Also, waves. That's a really long holiday.

I wonder if that would be the sort of event that could prompt a general election. Secure a personal mandate for May and her vision for Brexit, increase her parliamentary majority, obscure the reasons for elections in those specific seats and it's probably also a good way of getting around the fixed term parliament act.

namesake posted:If they were uncertain enough to need to commit electoral fraud to get a win and have to campaign as the people who cheated last time then I can see them taking a big hit. I think they'd hold each seat with an increased majority. Nobody is going to give a poo poo about the technicalities of the fraud.
