It bugs me that the media has decided the vaccine bounce exists when I'm not sure there's any reason to believe that's what's going on. It seems to more be media pr for the tories. I think Boris is just popular sadly

Jel Shaker posted:the worst thing for kier is that the welsh elections are such a clear repudiation of any of his preplanned excuses that it was corbyn and his completely useless covid response didn’t matter yeah, i dont think that will change their messaging or strategy at all in the media. since theyr just gonna claim it was corbyn anyway. but i do think that and his loving terrible interview have gotta have the sharks circling a bit. when they asked him "but what will you change?" and he says "we have to stop labour infighting" thats death right there. in a bad time you don't unprompted bring up your own party's infighting on the BBC lol

The Labour Right have proven themselves even less capable than the left and are going to continue down this damnable pathway for as long as they can because they are, ultimately, feckless.

It was the worst of both worlds imo, austerity economics while also waving around krazy kommie stuff And with the purpose of accusing Osborne of being too commie iirc E corbyn had his own problems but was a lot better choice as leader imo.

OwlFancier posted:I don't think there are very many people who think of 2016-19 labour and think "they were too pro austerity"... i think thats probably true, afaik its just been me. its pretty hard to tell after the fact what individual events hosed us but imo it did mark the corbyn team as not understanding economics and not actually being interested in the reality of transformative policy, it was basically just PR to reassure.... i dont really know who, neoliberals? I think the FT crowd would have actually been interested in an alternative economic plan. I suppose more likely they just didn't really know enogh to take initiative on it, which is most MPs interaction with economics. so they had the new economists they breifly pretended to listen to explaining complicated things to them but theyve also got the times financial editor or whoever going "well its like a credit card innit"

yeah i agree with owl that the labour right, similar to the labour left, genuinely beleive their own policies and ideology is both Correct and actually really popular if given a chance (difference is we actually are Correct and pretty much demonstrably more popular currently, if still not popular enough) thats why the blairites are trying to purge not just the left but the centre left and blue labour and basically every other group

It's not really putting your foot down its communicating your boundaries The alternative is you just stay quiet and get angrier at everyone involved, which is an attactive strategy but not a great one It's also nicer imo to tell someone to gently caress off than to hate them behind their back forever until you're both in the same old folks home

Jakabite posted:Yeah, I think the common theme is that leftists have a tendency to have faith in the rightness of their ideas to the point that they believe that if others are just exposed to their ideas they will, naturally, see that rightness. I and I’m sure many others fell into that trap when Corbyn was elected - the public were finally going to be properly exposed to socialist ideas, and when that happens their correctness will be self-evident! Realistically although we are right, from average Joe’s perspective we aren’t any more right than anyone else and will still have to engage in all the same techniques and tactics to win them over. Yeah, interestingly I think this might also be the blairites delusion too lol
