    Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

    Succinctly put. You have outlined why I support no political party any more. I can't stomach the 'not so good bits'. Is there anything bad about the Lib Dems? :)

    The Alt-Left

    On a less-enlightened board than this someone would have posted that tedious political compass thing on page 1. Consider ourselves fortunate.

    Norbert Hofer: Far Right?

    So why is Thatcher not generally thought of as Britains Fascist Furher? In the Political Compass chart, what sort of parties actually occupy the tenth blue column? Also they've written down country names but what does that mean... I reckon it would be more useful if they'd noted down the party...

    Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

    "save your compassion" - because it's a finite resource...? :confused: "They didn't do it so why should we" is a shoddy argument. Understanding someone's position is not the same as agreeing with it. How can you expect to combat something if you don't understand it? How do you expect to win...

    Privileged people calling less privileged people "stupid" doesn't seem to be working...

    Since when have the right wing been silenced though? They're louder than ever. It's like that claim that 'you can't talk about immigration' when the political debate in this country has been nothing but that for about a decade. It's not like headlines about tidal waves of migrants are only...

    And next, Syria?

    This is a very strange bit of State leaking. Kerry is candid and clearly torn. A good hearted liberal interventionist hawk facing a room full of needy rebels who feel betrayed. At one point Kerry bemoans the fact that Congress won't support the use of force against Assad. He would but others in...

    Are you a Marxist

    ...an understanding some have, and already demonstrates the depth of political meaning as soon as you apply some context. Maybe on a political compass internet test you can seperate everything out into neat little boxes - in reality, there's too much bound up together for that to work. Another...

    Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

    A bit of a strange article... There's no real contradiction there. the house paper of British liberalism. It seems odd too that he doesn't seem to consider how that might reflect the Guardian's politics and the way it has intervened in the leadership contests. Man, the Labour Party ignoring...

    Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

    Pal, I'm talking about why American Fundi Christians are backing the extremely ungodly (in their eyes) Trump. They also shovel cash into Zionist causes for the same reason, despite being varying degrees of antisemitic and believing the Jews killed Christ. :facepalm: You really haven't a clue...

    Donald Trump, the road that might not lead to the White House!

    Anti Christ ? Seriously man...compared to Clinton with her record and the crazies in her camp ? I think that's way over the top tbh . I'd urge people again to take a look again at that clip of trumps views on American exceptional ism. He honestly thinks that entire world view is utter bullshit...

    Who rules the USA.

    I agree the US is annoying as fuck, I don't think it will collapse soon though, would frankly be satisfied if dollar hegemony and NATO went away, they'd probably stop being quite such a pain in the arse re the global south at that point. Which would probably surfice.

    Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

    Absolutely. If the game you want to play is winning power in a Westminster system, you are always going to be up against largely hostile media. You are also going to find your efforts are inevitably funnelled into such absurdities as PMQs. That's the path you've chosen. That Corbyn has been...

    Who rules the USA.

    In all truth I have not had time to listen to all of it. Broad strokes, I think the U.S is most likely doomed to fail, maybe in our lifetimes 20 years give or take. Too many divisions, opposing groups of people, idologies, beliefs. A growing number of easily fooled/led people, who are...

    Labour Jews to Chuka Umunna – Stop using antisemitism smears against Corbyn

    And another thing that makes it relevant to Brixton. We have three MPs Helen Hayes , Chuka and Kate Hoey. For all her faults as far as national politics goes Kate has been been a thorn in the side of the New Labour Lambeth Council and is hated by them. She supported housing and library...

    The Political Philosophy of Brexit

    In terms of ideology, the referendum obviously arose from the factional rift within the right party of capital. The free market, Atlanticists exploiting crude Nationalism to free neolib capital from the legacy, market interference of the supra-national Union dating from the era of system...

    The Political Philosophy of Brexit

    ...axis; far right and far left more clearly preferred Leave, but a number of centrists also preferred Leave. Preferences on the other political compass axis of authoritarian / libertarian don't seem to fit either; for all the talk about bureaucracy and UK sovereignty it can't be clearly linked...

    Basic Income

    However conclusive the evidence for a minimum income a politician in this country will always be on the back foot as the tabloids scream about the undeserving poor. Tax credits, negative income tax and child benefit all seem like variants of the idea but masking the concept to make it...
