Cerebral Bore posted:Quite in awe of the speed and efficiency with which the Lib Dems have driven themselves into the ground again. I didn't think it was actually possible for them to get worse than the literal homophobe, or the invisible loving man, but somehow they've managed it in the most spectacular fashion. Sticking all their piss diamond hopes into a Tory golem, only for her to get utterly wrecked by bringing up her actual voting record, and policies consisting of The Thick of It-esque "Skills Wallets", and a loan to "help" people give their landlords a massive payday. The highlight is them loving themselves on their Brexit positioning by trying to out "Remain" Labour by going full on "Revoke Brexit", and now frantically backpeddling as that option isn't actually that popular.

Raab is a colossal moron and also bad for the normal Tory reasons. He’s exceptionally poo poo by the standards of the Cameron and May cabinets, less exceptional for the Johnson cabinet.

Blasmeister posted:Lmao that the Lib Dem’s tactic of being an inch to the side of remain of labours policy so they can always call themselves The Remain party has hosed themselves like this. I assume the new policy will be 2nd ref BUT WE CAMPAIGN FOR REMAIN now that corbyn has given them a face saving niche to backtrack into. Option 1: negotiate a deal in bad faith knowing you are campaigning for remain. BBC signal boosts Farage making this point, turnout is lower than 2016, vote remain but country remains divided, next tory government has ANOTHER ref, and so on until the planet burns. Option 2: referendum on boris's deal vs remain. Everyone goes nuts* and probably votes for boris' deal because will of the public innit. Farage evolves into dynamax form from the online hate. It's so loving stupid. And it doesn't matter because the Libs can't get a majority, they can only ever prop up the tories who won't allow a second ref ever. * Content warning for loser Swinson.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I mean, how the gently caress is that even going to work? I know in practice the Libs won't get a majority, but if they did From what I can tell, their New Policy is that they will still revoke if they get a majority, but if they don't then they will begrudgingly allow for a referendum instead the new part of this policy may well just be publicly acknowledging that the second scenario is even possible

Foul Ole Ron posted:Again isnt 'making people feel like there's no point in voting because you have lost anyway' a standard astro turfing tactic? Yeah, there's been the usual splurge of theatrical sighing, and rolling of eyes, and OpEds telling the young'uns "honestly don't bother, voting's broken, they're a l l t h e s a m e". WDTATW covered a Susanne Moore one (she's obviously not interested in voting, considering she stood as an indy candidate in Diane Abbott's seat, and roundly got hosed off by 99.4% of the electorate), and I've definitely seen others floating around.

Open the goddamn comments you cowards. quote:Tragically, this is not just about one man: Labour is now controlled by this thuggish camarilla while frontbench “moderates” passively enable Corbyn. But Britain’s soul is at stake: many decent Labour supporters will surely show that they are better than the racism of their shameful shameless leadership. I'm not sure whether the idea that this kind of smearing is so standard for the 'left wing' Observer or the fact that he might actually believe this is more depressing. But for the (sixth?) time this thead, I'll post this again. https://twitter.com/davidgraeber/status/1170032483859148800 In other news it looks like Pritstick is getting rightfully dragged for her bullshit and cheap political point scoring https://twitter.com/patel4witham/status/1200792218749022213

I have a reasonable centrist option that should be able to unite the country on this difficult issue. Inspired by the most logical race in the galaxy, the Vulcans, horny will be permitted once every seven years. For many of you, this will mean much less horny. For me, much, much more.
