Current Affairs The Labour Party

[NilSatisOptimum]

If the elections are rigged then why should anyone vote for a right wing Starmer stooge?.

Because its not binary right left as you want some to believe. Its that simple.
Id rather help some people less fortunate than myself and trade in some principles' rather than keep all my principles and help no-one just to feel good about myself, achieve nothing for other less fortunate.

Sounds like every Tory government Victorian Values social policy since Thatcher to me.

Well you have to appeal that school of thought to get elected if not you achieve nothing.

If the elections are rigged then why should anyone vote for a right wing Starmer stooge?...and more to the point given that the left in the party are the ones who do the legwork canvassing in elections, why should they help these stooges win at an election?

The left needs to stand down at the GE at the very least. Leave Starmer and his cabal to get out on the knocker.

Ideally the left should leave and form a socialist party.

And keep the tory party in forever, brilliant Dave. and you never know you're Green Party might even double their vote and have 2 MP's.

And that is just the party you will be keeping in.

'Enabling'.

Dave is like Wilders in many ways. The Dutch people I know say he has no real interest in governing as then he'd actually have to "do" something. It's far easier to have "principles" when you never have to act on them. Farage is a classic example of this here, as was Corbyn.

Contrarianism needs it's due also.

Tempting as it is to think he's sat there in his hammer and sickle y-fronts, t-stained vest, and Che Guevara beret surrounded by his own fan art of Marx, Guevara, Engels etc...

He's actually wumming.

I disagree - they'll fail, probably quite quickly, and its important the left is in a position to replace them.

Probably maybe fair few to be honest, sat on the phone in a queue. Occasionally worth the push back...

Ha, yeah, it's a good pass time for a queue. As I write, I'm queuing at Pague Airport border control. Another Brexit bonus. Don't think Labour will help much on that front, at least not immediately!

Dont encourage Starter and his right wing party.

Boycott them; vote Green this election - by the next election we'll have an alternative to Red Toryism to vote for.

About time and all.

They'll be a one term government, no question.

The level of vitriol for a 'Labour' Government that continues austerity will be off the charts and its 'brand' will be tarnished forever. No one will want to pick that party up after Starmer and his corporate-servicing minnions are chased out.

We'll need a socialist party backed by union cash to see off the coming challenge of the extreme right. It will come, as it has in the US.

Bollocks and you talk plenty of it. lol
