Labour leadership

[Maurice Picarda]

I thought the 'registered supporter' had a nominal charge attached - a quid or three quid, something like that. Wolmar (who's running a grass roots campaign for the Labour nomination) was pushing it recently. It's an attempt to get people on board cheaply, but more importantly harvest contact details for future spam.

Tories were trying a similar thing in some seats, having open primaries, because the bonus of doing this is it makes people aware of the candidate, a bit of mass publicity in advance of the election. I'd vote for the most charmless or freakish looking candidate just to hamper their chances.

I think it was decided that there would be a £3 fee for voting in the mayoral election; perhaps the cost for voting in the leadership one is yet to be established.

But you had already been brain washed, he only told you at the last minute. Quite an arrogant little fuck aren't you?



No, he said last minute. You were with the grateful proleteriat drawing cocks on your ballot.



You didn't vote. Apart from burning your bra you have no influence in anything that happens.

There will be no revolution, no bourgeoisie uprising, just sad people like you wanking over an internet forum that has nothing to give, even mums net has more influence.

you don't have the slightest clue you ex pat freak. With your big green vote. By the way, nice line in confused misogyny too- bras were burned for the right to vote not the right to abstain. Aren't you supposed to be an educator of some sort. thick twat. 'bourgeoisie uprising' yeah- don't use words you don't know without googling them first chap cos it makes you look a right bell.

The results analysis on the media was bad enough, but this morning's cross-media competition to present as the most right-wing, aspirational leadership candidate is utterly nauseating.

Chuka is well out of the traps and positioning himself as the new Blair

 

[Maurice Picarda]

The left candidates haven't emerged yet, though. You'd expect them to be a bit more squeamish about setting out their stall so early.

..and 'sounds like' is all over the media like a rash presenting himself as the 'posh as cameron'/UKIP friendly (white) option.

the difference is imo blair had an ounce of political nous, no matter he's a shit of the first water.

to what left candidates do you refer?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Well, it's dificult to identify who would try and capture the dinosaur vote until they make themselves known, but I'd be astonished if Andy Burnham is the furthest candidate to the left.

Bigging up the 'wealth creators'

I heard Tristram Hunt on John Pienaar's show say that he believed that Labour had lost the election "because we failed to appeal to the wealth creators". Fucking arse.

CU has the great misfortune to have been privately educated which blunts the Eton barbs that they like to throw at DC.

I wonder, does he inherit the title Baron Hunt?

 

[DotCommunist]

this is going to be a fucking wank few years

I couldn't give a flying fuck.

on the positive side at least he recognises all the wealth is created by the working class. although it is a strange and clumsy way to put it.

good on you

 

[Belushi]

So far we appear to have Chuka, Tristram and David Lammy throwing their hats in the ring, anything from Burnham or Cooper yet?

 

[Libertad]

I do what little that I'm able to.

Other than Cooper's mates registering yvetteforgloriousleader.co.uk, you mean?

Ok - def no connection between elite ownership of the labour party (including media management and presentation), their relaxed attitude to 'wealth creators' and their distance from w/c. Nothing to see here.

This has been the case for quite some time.

Whereas if Labour had won we'd be looking forward to roses.

Fuck me, if this is the way they are going they are going to fall apart over the next couple of general elections.

slightly less posher accents on the tele was the prospect that brought me hope

 

[frogwoman]

Tbh if this is the way they're carrying on they deserved to lose.

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

not Berkshire Hunt?

 

[FiFi]

Tbh if this is the way they're carrying on they deserved to lose.

It hasn't been very encouraging so far, has it?
