The Politics Thread

You will find that is a deliberate ploy by the right, Pangloss. They use it as an insult, and have twisted the meaning.

The left really do need to find some way to distance themselves from it. Like Bernie Saunders and AOC saying what they support is Democratic Socialism. To most, that's still socialism.

Even Corbyn isn't a true socialist, and for that matter, neither are the Chinese.

Is there an example of what you would class as a true socialist government anywhere.
 
What I do know is that Labour Leaders do not know how to win GEs. Th last one was Blair in 2005 and before him Harold Wilson who was PM in the sixties, he retired and they wheeled him back out in 1974 because they thought he was the best bet to win, which he did. Stuck it for a couple of years then handed over they keys to Sunny Jim in 1976.

Yes, I find it odd they struggle so much, when for most people they would see improvements to their lives. Higher pensions, better healthcare, more Police, better protection against ill fortune, better care facilities.

The Conservatives do a marvelous job pushing the low taxes angle, not realising that applies even more so to the rich.

The Tories aren't daft enough to risk him this time around, they are brutal in their pursuit of winning elections. Labour wait to lose elections to change leaders, the Tories do not.

He'll be gone
