Luckily it won't make a difference to overall control of the NEC. Because you can bet if the right ever get the balance in their favour again their first act will be to vote through fifty new members all nominated by the PLP.

Eddie Izzard would be the first political candidate in the UK to have been eaten by Hannibal Lecter, so he has my vote for surviving that ordeal.

He doesn't actually seem to have any positions on anything from what I recall, other than making vague noises about "respectability" which seems weird.

I mean, might turn out that he's a secret Hoxhaist or something.

Luke Akehurst is already leading a campaign to get 9 new regional members elected to the NEC, and also there just so happens to be a Progress backed candidate for each of them ready and waiting.

He says that but also was on the Progress slate (despite talking up some bollocks about "ending petty factionalism") so that should tell you everything

What are the odds Yup. It's so blatant to run the same trick they already pulled with the Scottish and Welsh representatives, but subtlety has never been their strong suit I imagine. Personally I wouldn't be averse the increasing the number of member's representatives, but a 33 member NEC is unwieldy enough as it is.

His views are vague as hell, he can probably be convinced to join any side.

I think Izzard means well, which is why I'm hoping he has a Damascene conversion due to Are Jez.

Which is more likely as that guido fawkes tweet has right wingers calling Izzard a fascist and a tranny in the replies. One genius decided to tweet just that five times which makes it so much easier to report them too. I dunno I'm starting to get a real giddy buzz when bigots tweet their bullshit hate more than five times since it virtually guarantees they'll eat a ban for it.

I hope he does. I used to think he was funny, but in retrospect the shines come off "Haha those Greeks must have been smoking some of that weed when they came up with those myths eh?"

I used to like Eddie Izzards standup, had several DVDs I used to watch all the time. Always came across as very Liberal.

Reckon Eddie's big issue is probably gonna be europe, since he was highly visible during the referendum campaign.

Is transfascism where you force everyone to wear the extremely severe and well tailored uniform of a gender they don't identify as?

I think Transfascism is like the Gay Agenda, a codified and very definitely real series of rules and laws they intend to implement when they eventually win the culture war. I'm excited to see what they propose.
