Thanks Theresa

You're comparing apples and oranges (loudly).

Common ground, though. I'm aware of relative socio-political context. You're aware (in agreement?) of how the election has come about.

Let's just leave it. I'll say coup was a silly choice of words by you and admit i overreacted to it.

It's a deal.

It really bugged me last time that even though Sturgeon isn't even a candidate in the election she was all over TV. Doesn't she have a government to run?

No but she does have an axe to grind, Independence now seems to be her only thought, sod running the country!

 

[Sadfield]

Talking of axes to grind, why are we having an Election? Sums this farce up...

She was probably fed up listening to remoaners bleating on about her being unelected and not having a mandate.
Now the same people are bleating on about her wanting to get herself elected.

We'll never get anywhere if we just pull faces at each other.

What I want to hear is "the plan".

A pale ale this weekend that should still be able to ferment in the ambient temperature before I have to start on Belgians over the summer months when the weather is warmer.

Some doubt my mandate for this plan and say that I should be painting the garden fence instead. But I have been very clear, I am going to deliver beer.

Pesky Belgian ales coming over here and taking the jobs of beautiful British beers.

In the papers today there's been loads about the non Tory parties forming some sort of coalition to defeat the Tories, and lots of Tory MPS pooh, poohing the idea calling it 'unholy'. You can tell there thinking, '$hit, we didnt think of that' :lol:

Politics is a devisive business. They play us off against each other every way possible.

Isn't that what's known as 'divide and conquer' or am I barking up the wrong tree, as often happens?

Our current system depends on the concept of "strong government" through majority. Is it possibly anachronistic in this day and age. Our electoral system is broken - as is the case in America. The media and social media have bust the mould. It's got to the point where most people claim to want the facts, but in reality that's not how many people are behaving.

And this all makes me wonder whether a completely new form of democracy is necessary. Perhaps one that forces coalition and collaboration as opposed to kick and rush, boom and bust politics.

PR would be the usual way to achieve this. The problem is that the zeitgeist is, in some places, so horribly extreme right wing, that we would end up with elected representatives harbouring views even nastier than the ones that Theresa May gets herself to sleep with.

Maybe that's the price we pay, though, for giving other voices a chance. Once elected a coalition government has a responsibility to work with minority elements.

The flip is that unless you implement safeguards against it, they get nothing done.

I'd much rather we explored alternatives than dashed ourselves on the rocks of oppositional politics. And this comes from a confirmed north-eastern, working class, left-wing atheist with a massive chip on both shoulders.

I can't see any coalition working if it involves Corbyn (which it would have to). The simple fact is that middle England will never vote for him. The GE will almost certainly finish him IMO.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

I think there are alot more labour voters that like JC than the press would have us believe and i don't vote for who is the leader i vote for the party.
