Expecting social media to be flooded with Private Hudson from Aliens 'Game over man, Game over!' memes when it's announced that Corbyn will be allowed on the ballot.
Actually I agree with you but cant see how it ever comes about
The 1.5m who voted in the referendum because they realised their vote counted for once are an unanswerable argument for voting reform. If politics is to be for all the people all the people need to have a meaningful say.
Precisely this. Anyone talking about listening to ordinary people in left-behind towns who then continues to advocate FPTP is a hypocrite. It's really as simple as that. And, yes, I include all Labour supporters, MPs and ex-ministers in that.
And yet the same feelings exist in almost every country in the developed world regardless of the electoral system. It has to be deeper than that.
Give places.
Do I electorate? Nope.
I PR.
What known.
You get to govern with 37% of the vote in the UK. That is not a system that is working for the many.
Would it be so different with PR - a coalition of 5% here 20% there, etc. Spain is heading to for their children. Others we knew opted for the dole, fags and beer. Sometimes it's just the choices people make.
It can be different with PR. Even in Spain two new parties have emerged, gained significant support and won seats in Parliament within five years of being formed.
And that is why there has been no government 2 GE's on with a third on the way. I'm unclear as to quite which group of the dispossessed are gaining from this. Also worth noting that both of those parties lost seats and votes last time.
The voters are getting the parties they voted for sitting in the Cortes. Those parties now have to find a way to work together. I really can't see what the problem is with that.
Spain had a majority PP government before the last round of elections. Clearly, the Spanish people did not want another one.
Overall, the Spanish electoral system has helped to deliver extraordinary and beneficial change to Spain over the last 40 years.
Laura Kuenssberg sets out the expected Cabinet changes:
"There is a consensus that Philip Hammond, the foreign secretary, will become the chancellor, doing what might be one of the most powerful job swaps in the land with George Osborne.
After too long in the Treasury bunker, most people expect him to be moved out. Chris Grayling is likely to head up the negotiations over us leaving the EU, in charge at whatever ministry is created to mastermind that process.
As a prominent Eurosceptic who didn't get down in the gutter in the campaign, he is likely to rise, having run Theresa May's short campaign too.
James Brokenshire, Theresa May's long-serving Home Office minister, is likely to be put in charge at that department - not a bad reward for years of having to defend the government's struggling immigration policy at the despatch box.
Stephen Crabb is likely to be left where he is, John Whittingdale might be moved out of the culture brief, potentially to be replaced with Damian Green, a Europhile who was also part of May's campaign team.
Priti Patel and Justine Greening are likely to be moved up, Nicky Morgan to be moved out, Amber Rudd and Sajid Javid both thought to be likely to stay where they are."
To what extent, and in what respects, she is wrong will be a useful measurement of sentiment.
As Theresa supposedly doesn't spend her time "gossiping" with journalists or scheming with acolytes, how on earth would anybody other than her, know what the Cabinet will be like?
What I would say though is that having Remainers as PM, CoE and Foreign Secretary should be a non-starter. A prominent LEAVER should fill at least one of these roles.
And Mr (Punishment Budget) Osborne shouldn't anywhere near the government.
If she keeps Osborne in any capacity, she's a bottler.
I guess she could move him to the Downing Street domestic services departments toilet division?
The first thing that has to be agreed is the method of voting... And there is no way on earth Corbyn is going to allow a secret vote...
It's not up to him.
It is... A show of hands as to the method of voting will have to tally with the result of the vote as its just a proxy for the final vote...
If as everyone expects public vote = Corbyn on ballot, secret ballot = Corbyn out
then it follows that if you are voting for Corbyn in public you need to go for a public vote...
Yes, agree. I've been saying for a week now that the rebels' behaviour only makes sense if they are confident of the NEC ruling Corbyn off the ballot paper. I don't know what photos/inducement/promise it may have taken to get the necessary support from the NEC lined up, but will now be very surprised if the ball isn't back in the Corbynite camp for their next move, by this evening.
Presumably when we find out who voted for the secret ballot, it will be reasonably easy to narrow down who the appropriate guilty party might be?
"Ireland reported a surprise fall in GDP in the first quarter, but with enormous revisions showing that the economy grew by 26.3 per cent last year, against a previous reading of 7.8 per cent." from the FT

The consensus is that the cabinet and government that May will form will essentially be a continuation - wth a few minor changes - of the Cameron government. If that is the so, she will be doomed to fail at the very start.
The thing above all others that must be tackled is BREXIT: Cameron knew that he couldn't manage this feat, and neither will an unreformed Cameronian cabinet be able to..
If Kuenssberg's predictions are accurate, it isn't a few minor changes...
Any government that has Hammond in a position of power is a government of the status quo.
Spurs have gone 2-0 up against Chelsea. There are 45 minutes to go. If we win we are top of the league. Everyone knows what happens next.
There is no chance on earth that the NEC will vote for Corbyn to have to collect nominations. But of by some miracle they do, I'd like to point out that I said this might happen in one of the threads on here last weekend.

Yes. I guess Watson knew the NEC had been stitched up before he called off talks with the unions at the weekend.
''I don't know if she will or not, but she won't be intimidated either way. ''
If she leaves the three brexiteers who harnessed 17 million votes against the might of the government machine on the back benches, May is asking for trouble.
If she keeps Osborne in any capacity, she's a bottler.
Or, to be more precise, if she keeps Osborne, that shows she has courage, given the hostility to him amongst some.
I don't know if she will or not, but she won't be intimidated either way.
Intimidation requires outside influence. I was rather more referring to her own thought processes regarding the post decision consequences of sacking Osborne. She'll have lots of difficult decisions to make but sacking Osborne would be one of the more difficult ones perhaps because they don't get along.

“use the opportunity of a strengthening economy to deliver security for working people.” Cameron clearly saw the need to tackle entrenched poverty through social action, and was planning to spend his final years in office helping the least well off through intervention and through trying to make opportunities more equal.
Rupert Myers thinks this has been knocked for six by Brexit:
Cameron himself won’t get the chance to implement this. Nobody will even remember that he attempted it, overshadowed as his legacy will be so completely by the referendum ... Brexit means years of government manpower diverted. The best and the brightest won’t be focusing on helping the poorest in our society, but to clambering around for trade deals. In the long run, Britain may be better off from Brexit, but there is a real risk that it will come at the expense of opportunities for the very poorest in society.
I think that overblown. Early indications are of a relatively modest department for Brexit.
The idea that our best and brightest _have_ been focusing on helping the poorest in our society, only to be diverted from their noble task by the pesky EUref is risible.
Unfortunately, I think you are both right. When it was Remain no-one saw the need for it and now it's Leave they don't have the resources or capability for it.
It's all getting a bit Mornington crescent with Charlie Falconer waiting for a train to stop.
Somebody really needs to edit the Wiki entry for Mornington Crescent. I mean, they preposterously say:
"Despite appearances, however, there are no rules to the game, and both the naming of stations and the specification of "rules" are based on stream-of-consciousness association and improvisation. Thus the game is intentionally incomprehensible."
Wonder what the likes of Margaret Beckett must be thinking about all of this, having helped Corbyn onto the ballot in the first place for whatever reason long-forgotten that was...
With May as PM and probably a continuity Cameron government, while the PLP gets rid of Jezza against the memberships wishes, I guess this is the week when The Establishment Strikes Back?

Spare a thought for the Green Party, if NEC do a 'stitch-up' for the sake of Labour, it is about to be inundated with the raging far left/Momentum looking for a home.
the government needs to nail its colours to the mast.
Just like Andrea Leadsom did...
Anyone running a book as to whether Scott can get through 24hrs without posting the word "B****teer" ?
On a knife edge..
oh, is it a swearword now ;-)
Funny....it used to be a badge of honour.......but then they all ran away.....
All gone, all gone, all gone. All those Tory Brexiteers, gone, gone, gone. A merry, plucky, shameless band, who scaled the heights of the greasy pole, surveyed the view, blanched and threw themselves off. First Boris Johnson, wobbling with vertigo, then shoved from the platform by Michael Gove. Then Mr Gove himself, somehow unable to balance on his own. And now, finally, Andrea Leadsom; a woman who had simply never before climbed so high, didn’t have the coat for it and couldn’t stand the weather

That would be a most acceptable line-up.
Damian Green would be a highly significant appointment. He is very pro-BBC.
And the status quo, if the BBC is going to set itself free of the licence fee then they need a radical at Culture who is willing to stand the heat og privatisation. Green is the type who will not only let the BBC introduce subscription fees but let them keep the licence fee as it is.
Would it be so different with PR - a coalition of 5% here 20% there, etc. Spain is heading to it's 3rd GE as I write and Italy???? I also have concerns when the 'dispossessed' suddenly all become 'victims' of the rapacious and greedy rich folk down south. I'm from the w/c NE of England. My entire extended family over at least 4 generations through good and bad times have always had jobs, paid taxes and sacrificed for their children. Others we knew opted for the dole, fags and beer. Sometimes it's just the choices people make.
You think Spain's going to have another election? My sources are pretty confident that there'll be a deal in the next week or so.
Do tell - on the news today all the also-rans are refusing a coalition with PP.

Mr. Max, licence fee *and* subscriptions is intellectually indefensible. It's like privatising the NHS for everything except A&E whilst retaining National Insurance.

Pity people didn't suss what a bunch of chancers and charlatans the Leave campaigners were before June 23rd!
You're too focused on the personalities. Johnson was the only significant figure and he was shanked almost by chance. Leave won because people were pissed off. I think Leave would have won if the campaign was headed by Fanny the Wonder dog.
The Remain campaign being epically fucking useless helped of course.

Jezza is a Trot - think Joe Stalin without the good bits.

"unequivocal" Jezza should be on the ballot.
I work with two clever brothers who both went to Oxford. They are dyed in the wool Labour.
Both are leaving the party if Corbyn is not on the ballot because they say it will be an affront to democracy.
We shall see.
