The tweet is moronic. Why vote at all? Somebody is going to win and then whoever it is will be your local champion. Hurrah. In the meantime, a government you despise has been elected yet again. Some people never see the big picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 PR would give people an option other than Labour in England. Which is one of the reasons most of the party is against it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fail to notice that the existing system also gives an option other than Labour and it has been taken up for the last four elections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive will be a good Cabinet member once we get back to choosing on ability. I'd have him as shdow foreign. 13 hours ago, Pato said: does he not have some sexual harassment skeletons in his closet? He had a load of allegations thrown at him thrown at him back when anyone seen as part of the "Corbyn Project" had to be vilified, due to the almighty scare the 2017 election gave the tories and their media chums. Not just the sexual harrassment, he was apparently misogynistic and a bit of a coconut. Not surprising he doesn't want to go for the big job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to (catching up with) Alexei Sayle's podcast this morning, and this "local champion" bollocks came up with regard to the Hartlepool by-election. This was the seat of one P. Mandelson in the Blair years. A man who couldn't recognise mushy peas when he saw them. A man who required a native guide if ever he ventured outside the M25. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be an element of that I haven't a clue but criticism of Lewis wasn't limited to opponents of Corbyn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the MSM will be absolutely furious. I kinda look back on the Jez years warmly. What he was proposing was unpopular with middle England and terribly presented, but it was genuinely held and you had an idea of what he was all about. Sir Keith is the equivalent of an IKEA Lack coffee table. It's there, it's not exciting and you have to put the pieces together yourself.
