Thane of Cawdor Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 14 minutes ago, Clown Job said: I thought the reason that the Labour Party doesn't organise in Northern Ireland was because the SDLP was considered a sister party. Isn't that a kind of de facto coalition? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need any changes to their constitution to stop having a coalition with any other party. I hope it comes back to bite them in the arse. My big concern is the SNP having the courage to use their position if they hold the balance of power after the next GE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, given that Labour suspended Edinburgh Labour Councillors for not supporting a deal with the Tories, I suppose that would be a bit of a stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So it will be unofficial coalitions like the have with the nationalist party in Wales. Hope Plaid Cymru tell them to bolt.

Given that Keir “Let’s Make Brexit Work” Starmer has discovered the joys of UK nationalism himself, the whole announcement gets even more bizarre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It's enormously fucking weak and needy of them. Constantly forming their policies on the basis of tory attack lines. Clowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Saw this headline: SIR Keir Starmer has insisted he is a “proud” trade unionist. Well, he's half right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Are there any Labour Party members who post on here? If so is there any serious debate still ongoing about getting rid of FPTP? ETA I stumbled across this article that made me ask. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/sep/27/unions-vote-down-local-labour-parties-call-to-axe-first-past-the-post Edited September 12, 2022 by Granny Danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 They most certainly should be discussing scrapping FPTP. Given that opinion polls at the moment suggest Lab short of a majority and needing the support of the Lib Dems to form a govt, that would presumably be a central part of any negotiations. They definitely shouldn't hold another Referendum on it though, but make it part of policy to be enacted by a majority in parliament. Also, for all the talk of a Truss bounce in the polls, the Lab lead has increased since she took over to between 12-15% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a referendum on the Westminster voting system eleven years ago, and I distinctly heard Nick Clegg say that it was a once in a generation opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
