Darth Walrus posted:Yeah, even accounting for the various catastrophes in other parties' local campaigns, this seems like an extremely convincing repudiation of them on a national level. seems to speak to a deep dissatisfaction with how things are, if only we had a compassionate leftist leader with grass roots support who could offer an alternative national vision. oh well!

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/03/ministers-consider-ban-mps-engaging-pro-palestine-climate-protesters quote:Ministers are considering proposals to ban MPs and councillors from engaging with groups such as the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil. The plans, put forward by the government’s adviser on political violence, John Woodcock, say mainstream political leaders should tell their representatives to employ a “zero-tolerance approach” to groups that use disruptive tactics or fail to stop “hate” on marches.

keep punching joe posted:After a certain threshold FPTP breaks, see Scotland 2015 for example. Though that was a wave of rage and optimism that brought that about. Starmer Labour are like the anti charisma party sensibly avoiding anything that looks like positive change. so like as not the lesson they take from electoral annihilation will be 'the woke marxist deep state did this', they assert control of the party orgs, invite farage and tice back into the club, fold reform into the New Conservative Party for Liberty and Democracy, and by the time the next election rolls around after a few years under a labour government that believes it would be wrong to offer hope at a time when hopelessness is ongoing, the uk has a full on blood-gargling populist party to match wit the rest of europe

It was a long old protest from Hyde Park Corner to Battersea! Nothing but good vibes from everyone, really respectful and peaceful march. Once again, massive, massive loving respect for the Jewish community who joined, especially the people standing about halfway through the protest that were sons and daughters of Holocaust survivors - those guys got serious love from all that passed.

most depressing political realization i had this year was thinking 'farage feels like he's been the one political constant of my adult life, the only prominent figure of the early 00s who hasn't hosed off to a lordship or a consulting career, he must be getting pretty old and ready to hang up his hat by now, surely' then looking it up and finding he hasn't quite turned 60 yet and probably has decades more performative gurning racism in him

eh, i mean he personally was being aggro and angling for trouble and the cop probably wouldn't have said it to someone who just happened to walk up the protest area, but 'you can't be standing around here like that, looking all jewish' is still not exactly great

also, lol at this analysis: the tees valley mayor, who is personally quite popular and tries to detach himself from the national party, was re-elected with 53% of the vote compared to 70% three years ago. in his victory speech, he said he was happy to work with rishi sunak, or you know, whoever the prime minister is next year, for the benefit of his constituents. previous polls have shown that more than half his voters vote for the man himself and wouldn't consider themselves tory voters in general. this is the best result of the night for the conservatives, they will be absolutely delighted with this.
