‘We had six MPs and four factions’: inside Your Party’s toxic power struggles
Normality for the Britih left is as with economists. More factions/opinions than there are people.
Snigger:
Even allies of Corbyn say the former Labour leader can be hard to pin down, with an aversion to open conflict and a tendency to, as one person involved in the project put it, “disappear to his allotment for 24 hours without his phone”.
“Jeremy can be a touch avoidant,”
Well, yes:
the difficulties in creating a party encompassing Sultana and Corbyn, along with the often more socially conservative electoral bases of the other independents.
I never thought I’d say that Your Party could be useful, but it might illustrate how the alliance between the Left and their Diversity Contributors will turn out in the short term. Then the problem is just convincing one person that the DCs are not all gay and generous with their money…
I think that the time has finally come for the Left to understand whom they have been supporting all this time.
Now that the Muslim population ( especially Pak/Bangla ) is large and confident enough to field its own candidates, it can dispense with the hectoring and annoying Labour politicians.
Female politicians such as Sultana and the one in Tooting use their Islamism as a cloak to appeal to their demographic. They believe in all sorts of things that their constituents don’t, but up until now that hasn’t mattered.
We have a new generation of local politicians who take their Islam seriously and also their local clan structures.
This is going to be very messy at the next election. A lot of Labour MPs are going to be skittled out by the Islamist insurgency coupled with the Reform revolution.
I will larf so hard when Jess and Yvette get ousted by Muslim candidates, I will probably do myself a mischief.
The great Ottokring nails it and I can’t wait for Jess Phillips in particular, arguably a politician more evil than Putin, Lukashenka and Kim Jong un put together, to lose her seat to the Islamic Block. However au am reminded of another legend, the peerless Ted S up in the Catskills who cautioned against excessive hubris on this front as her defenestration would confirm ISIS control of her seat.
Amidst all this Reforn are faced with an open goal – remove Sadiq Khan, Sultana and all four Islamic block MPs and say that Candidates cannot run on a religious platform – or even more critically an Islamic platform – then begin re migration of all inhabitants from Islamic countries – voluntary but then forced. Close down ISIS/ Hamas supporting mosques. Remove Halal food from prisons and switch to pork only menus. Reinstall corporal punishment for recalcitrants – combined with cuts in alcohol duty it could switch as much as 15% of the vote. As the great Steve says, the left don’t piss about with half measures – we have to do the same.
