Brexit party announcement at 11. BBC coverage of their impact was shite, they vox pop a loving BNP supporter in Thurrock and then an analyst of some description talks about Labour voters abandoning the party for 5 minutes before finishing on saying the Brexit Party will mostly impact on Tory vote share.

Yo to the comrade whose CLP seemed to short on cash and any others that might turn out to be - Grace Petrie is willing to do benefit gigs in the run up to the election so if you've got the capacity maybe try and arrange something with her to raise funds. https://twitter.com/gracepetrie/status/1189927994552389633?s=19

Collateral posted:This thread obsesses too much over the lib dems. They are conversely pathetic laughable but dangerous and could be the doom of the country. It's like something I remember Eco writing about. Until they've been crushed down to sub 10% in the polls they're a menace on key seats and will attract a lot of low information Remainers. ronya posted:after the car crash that was the Economic Advisory Committee back in 2015-2016, McDonnell also seems to become wary of trying to pitch new economics - it must have the OBR's stamp of approval and nothing less will suffice Yeah that sucked that it fell apart but Labour's economic plan is new for the UK at least, it's just there's really limits that state power can do to transform an economic base without super enthusiasm and involvement from the base.

Julio Cruz posted:I disagree with your initial premise There is an issue where hospitals are well located for other non hospital related things and people just use it as free parking rather than hospital parking. If that is the case then a system where patients and visitors simply give their registration to hospital staff on arrival solves this and then someone walks around the car park with the list or it's done by cameras solves it without means tested car parking or any notion of grading people needing medical care.

kustomkarkommando posted:The election period doesn't technically start till the dissolution of parliament which will be one minute past midnight this coming Wednesday, so Tuesday is the last sitting day. This is important because a lot of things that cost money like getting leaflets through doors in the next few days don't count as election spending until this happens. Get some activity done and dusted before then if you can arrange it. The 1922 committee is a bunch of horrible Tories which maintain accountability for the leadership within the Tory party. namesake fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Nov 2, 2019 |

ronya posted:if the show is to keep going, those who fancy themselves inheritors of the left mantle are going to have to get used to defining radicalism downwards Only depending on their affiliation to Labour, every leftist needs to acknowledge the limits of Labour and be willing to criticise and be willing to consider breaking from Labour over a critical issue. This is were revolutionary socialist groups and radical grassroots campaign groups position themselves when the limits of reformist socialism become apparent and the importance of that failure too much for leftists to bear.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:oh right, that makes more sense. It does a bit but it doesn't change the fact that most specifically constructed shopping areas are designed to be hostile to people just spending time in them, they are designed to funnel people into a shop and then out again as soon as possible and given how utilitarian that is then online shopping will always have a bit of an edge. Revitalizing high streets means turning them into places that people go to without the intention of spending money but then do spend money when they arrive.

Tiger Millionaire posted:It's depressing that people can publicly say poo poo like this that's both loving awful advice and plain loving awful and face no consequence. I remember during the petrol shortage scare a Tory minister suggested if people were worried they could fill up some petrol cans and store them in the house and fire brigades up and down the country spend the next two days going to every member of the press shouting "No for the love of god don't do that please it's incredibly dangerous."

ronya posted:Will the upcoming Clause V meeting drop the commitment to ending freedom of movement? Conference suggests the platform should be global freedom of movement, which the shits aren't going to include so I'd suggest they will talk it up in a EU context rather than the full motion. It's going to be disappointing. 63 is the number of groats in a guinea in British pre-decimal currency, which might become important again if the Brexit Party win big. namesake fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Nov 5, 2019 |

Tiger Millionaire posted:Extremely weird they're making her the Face of the party, understandable about BoJo because he's been in public spotlight for years and years, and same with Corbz as he represents the ideological shift away from centrist Labour and has the voting record to prove it. Its not about historical recognition, it's about pushing the angle the Lib Dems think they're strongest in. Johnson is a hard Brexit monster, Corbyn is a hard left Stalinist but here's sensible centrist Jo who can definitely be prime minister. Takes the focus away from policy and tries to appeal to Remain Tories who don't want the other two options.

Yeah I had this discussion while out canvassing today about what's best to do if you are canvassed, I was supporting wasting as much time as possible and feeding them incorrect information but another person was saying they'd prefer to demoralise the canvasser so I guess it's hard to decide the best course of action to take.

Tesseraction posted:As I recall more Labour leavers than Tory leavers defect to the Brexit Party, but the percentage of Labour leavers is way below the number of Tory remainers. Yeah the actual numbers moving matter much more than %s on this particular question and that's very bad for Tory campaigns. The aggressive Brexit messaging needs to move onto attacking Boris' deal to push the BXP voters in Tory seats into not voting and into voting BXP everywhere else. Jose posted:Wow this is shocking. Labour attacking a political rival in an election who could have seen this coming Yeah so I dunno if this is particularly the right line to take in a general sense, having them framed as substitutes only makes sense if BXP voters are Never Tory sort of people which seems sort of unproven. The Tories specific flaws need to be emphasised and let the voters decide where else to float to. namesake fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Nov 11, 2019 |

Guavanaut posted:Anyone who cares about women's agency in general? I really doubt even a plurality of these people are petit-bourgeois though, unless you consider them making side money outside of the wage labor system to be petit-bourgeois in and of itself, but either way the solution to survival sex work is a decent social floor, not bringing back the Contagious Diseases Acts or the Magdalene Laundries. Tbf they did offer that as a solution but then also weirdly execution for those that pay for their services. I dunno how people think struggles for liberation are won by using a capitalist states legal codes and force against participants rather than empowering the workers to liberate themselves but I guess that's what's happening.
