Corbyn picks up key endorsement in British Election
Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Dec 12 13:41:18 2019 Spider Pig- still not sure who he'd support AIM - Doesn't matter as long as he's pro-EU **** Yaakov Hagoel, Vice Chairman of the World Zionist Organization and the Head of the Department for Israel & Countering Antisemitism added that “Unfortunately it is dangerous to identify as a Jew on the streets of the world, enough with the hatred towards Jews. I demand world leaders to show zero-tolerance to antisemitism.” Last week, France’s National Assembly determined that Anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism, while more than 100 tombstones were desecrated with antisemitic text and swastikas at a Jewish cemetery in eastern France, near Strasbourg.

Would you care to find something nasty to say about her? And I do prefer Johnson to Corbyn or Farage, but that is not a compliment to Johnson.

Also, Johnson has his Trumpish qualities, but he is smarter than Trump and not quite as willing to sell out his country for minor personal gain.

Once you undermine that, the damage will be worse than the socialistic tendencies of the others, IMO, not only because he'll wreck the balance of the govt, but because he will also have freer reign to do damage in other areas. That includes persecuting minorities, even when considering the racist and anti-Semitic tendencies of the others. Those tendencies are by no means good, but I don't think they've reached the level of militant (I hope).

Trump is more amoral, but he's almost completely impulsive - it's harder for him to create and follow a strategy, so it will take longer to achieve a malicious objective, if at all. Johnson is smarter, wilier, and more focused - he's more knowledgeable about his govt's weaknesses and loopholes, and he's willing to exploit them for his own gain, even if he doesn't throw his country under the bus.

Johnson doesn't seem to give a shit about Ireland, and will probably let Northern Ireland stay in the EU Customs Union, causing a customs boundary down the middle of the Irish Sea. That will push Northern Ireland into the arms of the Irish Republic as soon as Catholic voters are 50.01%. Or even well before, because quite a few Protestants will realize their future lies with the Republic, which doesn't really have an established church any more.

I think he was just being a rabble rouser who got chosen for prime minister as "punishment" for pushing Brexit.

Sinn Fein got 47% of the vote in Northern Ireland, DUP 43%, and non-sectarian parties who very much want to stay in the EU got 10%. Looks like a solid majority supporting the closest possible ties with the Republic. Doesn't look good for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland even before considering what might happen with Scotland.

Corbyn announces intention to resign as Labour Party leader
Posted by Olog-hai* on Fri Dec 13 11:17:05 2019, in response to Corbyn picks up key endorsement in British Election, posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Dec 12 13:41:18 2019.* But he won't say when. Business Insider Jeremy Corbyn announces he will resign as Labour Party leader Thomas Colson and Adam Bienkov Jeremy Corbyn has announced plans to resign as leader of the Labour Party following the party's crushing defeat in Thursday's general election. Speaking after his reelection as a member of Parliament for Islington North, he said he would remain in his post while the party "reflected" on the result but would not lead the party into another general election. "I will not lead the party in any future general-election campaign," he said. "I will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward. "I will lead the party during that period to ensure that the discussion takes place as we move on into the future." A devastating night for Labour saw the party punished heavily in the north of England, where the Conservatives picked up dozens of Leave-voting seats they had not previously held. Overall, the party lost dozens of seats, making it the party's worst result since 1935. Numerous senior figures are expected to enter the race to replace Corbyn in the coming days and weeks. Disagreements within the party since Corbyn was elected as leader in 2015 erupted again in the early hours of Friday morning when the scale of Labour's defeat became clear. Corbyn's allies rushed to blame a combination of Brexit, the mainstream media, and disloyal centrist Labour MPs as they struggled to form a narrative to explain the scale of the party's losses. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, insisted that the party had lost because the election had been "dominated by Brexit." Other figures in the party, however, said Corbyn's personal leadership and left-wing policy platform were the primary causes of defeat. "We're going to hear the Corbynistas blame it on Brexit and the Labour Uber Remainers blaming Corbyn," said Caroline Flint, a former minister who was unseated by a Conservative candidate in the Leave-voting seat of Don Valley. "Both are to blame for what looks like a terrible night for Labour. Both have taken for granted Labour's heartlands. Sorry, we couldn't offer you a Labour Party you could trust." Gareth Snell, who lost his seat in Stoke Central, said he blamed Corbyn's "disastrous" performance for the defeat. Phil Wilson, a centrist Labour MP, said it was "mendacious nonsense" to suggest that Brexit was the primary cause of the election result. "Jeremy Corbyn's leadership was a bigger problem. To say otherwise is delusional," he said. "The party's leadership went down like a lead balloon on the doorstep." Labour had hoped to repeat its performance in 2017, where the party gradually whittled away the lead of Theresa May's Conservatives and the vote produced a hung Parliament. But Johnson proved to be a more effective and popular campaigner than his predecessor, and his relentless focus on "getting Brexit done" appears to have paid dividends in Leave-voting areas of the UK. Speculation will now turn to possible replacements for Corbyn. Frontrunners include Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Angela Rayner, and Emily Thornberry.

If we had this system, I wouldn't be seeing the same people change their positions in a 360, and break precident, due to all of them becoming senile. All of them should've resigned 30 years ago.

Labour is not the sole contingent of such people; there is also the Liberal Democratic Party or LibDems. There are also fringe parties like the British National Party (BNP), Scottish National Party (SNP), and others.

I'm not even going to get into the fringe groups. Canada has a lot of fringe parties, but it's really a two party system, now with some small liberal group that is called the neo-democrats I think. That's fitting since they go around defacing Jewish made products in chain stores and advertising in hate newspapers. Otherwise, if you go that road, I'm not sure about the states you vote in, but the list every Presidential election cycle, especially in Florida and Texas, is MASSIVE. Did you know we had about a dozen communist running on the ballot every 4 years?
