  • Well that’s it. Once they get into power keep applying the pressure.

    That’s what the StopTheTories.vote group are planning to do with their agenda to get a form of proportional representation to replace FPTP once the Tories are out.

    The only other option is armed revolution and good luck rolling the dice on that in this country given how it’s gone previously (gestures to all of UK rebellion history) I’ll be out of the country for that one.


  • So the writer means Starmer pulled it from a fringe left unelectable mess of in-fighting (in a first-past-the-post system and Murdoch dominated press) to a left-of-centre party that’s trying to win over as many voters as possible to get a overwhelming majority in parliament.

    I don’t like how centrist the current form of the labour party is, but at least there’s a chance of them listening to us once in power.

    Says the Stalinist who’d be the first lined up at the wall and shot by the very ideology they support.

    And for the record, fuck the Nazis, fuck the Tories, and fuck every single fascist rightwing or leftwing.

    Democracy isn’t perfect, but it gives people a voice and if they work hard to maintain proper democratic institutions, it offers the better outcomes for the majority.
