Jose posted:Labour having nobody competent to replace him is Blair's fault yes people say labour's all incompetent but look at the competition in recent years: - david cameron, the guy who assfucked his entire career and legacy and possibly/probably destroyed the UK in the process - theresa may, the lady who looked at brexit and said "yeah, i want to be in charge of that 4 sure", running as a populist despite being PM and leader of the rich people party - boris and that hosed up puppet-looking midget who's name i forget who accidentally succeeded in brexiting and then knifed each other in the back - snp, a party that literally only runs in a small fraction of the country - lib dems (lmao) that corbyn is running against all these people and doing historically badly is a testament to how unusually terrible of a leader he is

Condiv posted:and yet everyone else in the party is worse. which is why they couldn't oust him (also why the tried to oust him while the tories had their pants down) there are actually competent people in the party but they've all headed for the hills or are running for lord mayor of asschester or whatnot because it was obvious after corbyn won that the party was heading for 1983 part II. all the political opportunities are in the rebuilding afterwards, not the futile infighting to try to stop it and then the possible loss of your seat when it happens. gonna be a whole lot of vulnerable tory seats in 2021 when brexit has blown up in their face

Ed Miliband has been retroactively declared centrist scum i guess despite having been the more left-wing upset winner over his brother in the 2010 leadership fight. by 2020 labour members are gonna be moaning about how corbyn's milktoast third-wayism cost them the election and how only lenin's embalmed corpse has the proper credentials to lead labour to victory

Pener Kropoopkin posted:That's really bringing up an interesting question. Is golf the most expensive sport in terms of labor and resources? Because all of the water, land, and groundskeeping that's necessary just to maintain the ability to play has to be astronomical even compared to a sport like baseball, where you can just play on astroturf. hockey might be more

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Dunno myself but the Parti Québécois is a good example of a left-wing [edit: social democratic really] nationalist party easily absorbing (or revealing) ethnic nationalist stuff that wouldn't be out of place at a Front National rally. The problem with nationalism is that it can flip like that on a dime and I don't see why the SNP would be immune, even if it's only latent right now. Give it time. The PQ is pretty much the FN lite now, they haven't been left-wing for a while.

https://twitter.com/JeremyCliffe/status/858810953353367552 giant 30 tweet thread on a leak regarding brexit negotiations, you should really read the whole thing (it's pretty hillarious) but long story short May has literally no idea what she is doing and the most likely outcome is increasingly 'rock-hard brexit with no trade deal or condom'

Jose posted:The 2 most popular newspapers in the UK have a combined circulation of 3 million people and they're both really right wing. All the right wing papers have a circulation of about 5.6 million. Not including the evening standard/metro which are free papers and have about 2.5 million readers since they're available on public transport. For comparison the guardian has a circulation of 150k. The daily mail supported the nazi's before WW2 and the sun is owned by murdoch. weird how conservatism is really popular with people who still read newspapers in this the year of our lord two thousand and seventeen

Karl Barks posted:ya that's what i thought. so why don't the right leaning labor people just join the lib dems? first past the post. if the lib dems grow at labour's expense then the left vote is split and conservatives win pretty much everywhere. this happened in canada for a decade after 2006; the left-wing ndp gained strength at the expense of the ruling centre-left liberals as a result of a corruption scandal and it resulted in a decade of Conservative darkness because our tories could get an ironclad majority out of ~40% of the vote. you think britain is hosed now, imagine how right wing the tories could get away with being if they only needed two of every five votes to form a stable government.
