kinda weird tbh that multiple people have said recently that they find this thread can be really bad for their mental health with all the doomposting and yet we still have people coming in posting poo poo like "hope is a lie"

Or you posting at all, Mr Avatar.

someone bought it for me because I was getting pissed off at all the flyby posters cheering about how Brexit was going to gently caress us all

e: actually it was because people were posting it every day counting down to the deadline, which I thought was a particularly cunty thing to do

4D-Chess Conspiracy: CPS were under political pressure from Number 10 to charge people so they found the most white middleclass bunch they could, in the hope it would derail any subsequent charges against other groups.

lol if you think the CPS aren't champing at the bit to get as many people locked up as possible, regardless of if they actually committed the crime(s) they were charged with

By-election to follow, presumably uncontested due to a death?

the Chesham and Amersham by-election happened because the Tory incumbent popped her clogs

Labour is incredibly and uniquely antidemocratic and armoured against entryism, though.

they only started putting up that armour when it looked like the Tories and terfs might start getting deselected, though

I strongly doubt the Greens would turn out to be any different

How’s it getting on for the list of parties I posted earlier?

the ones who weren't set up by extremely popular sitting MPs, you mean?

Which extremely popular MP do you mean? The guy who most of the country has been convinced into thinking is an anti-semitic monster? I love Jeremy but no, I don’t think he’s going to win the country over by sheer force of personality.

I mean the guy who single-handedly dragged the corpse of Labour to its best GE result in decades purely on the strength of his campaigning

considering that your huge list of parties posted earlier doesn't have (and has never had) a single MP between them it's incredibly disingenuous to claim that a prospective party starting off with probably 3 MPs can never succeed because the *checks notes* Alliance for Green Socialism didn't

Okay? I didn’t even reply to you, so that’s why I didn’t take your views into account. That said, how does see The New Jeremy Party “cut off Labour’s oxygen” at all? Don’t actually answer that, as I said I don’t want to have this argument as we’ve been over it a million times. My point was that a new party was being presented as being a concept with zero cost to the left associated with it so why not? There is a cost, a big one in my opinion. If you think the cost is worth it, fine. But there is one.

so what is this cost that's so high that it's better to stay in Labour and try to sandpaper down the loving Alps

to be fair, the vast majority of people working in Morrison’s stores are going to be on hourly rates not salary, so a 4-day week wouldn’t affect them one way or another anyway

the problem with saying "oh maybe we should compromise" is that compromise is a two-way street and requires some concessions from the other side as well

Switch to PR, and non-votes count towards electing cats. Said cats get to roam around Parliament and they count as voting against in all votes. Without a sufficient coalition being formed, one of the cats will be appointed PM.

The Cat Rule will ensure the parties have to care about high turnout.
