jack D and coke Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Beni said: That's a bit harsh on Starmer. I don't know if all DPPs are knighted, and if he had political ambitions he might have been wiser to decline it. His parents were a toolmaker and nurse. He certainly lacks charisma, and that makes him an ineffective leader of the opposition, but he's got where he is off his own bat. Possibly harsh yeah but he’s one of those that climbs those ladders into positions of power losing all his morals along the way for me. The fact he barely lands a glove on this govt is evidence enough he’s never going to be the man. It’s literally open goal after open goal and he balloons it over the bar so to speak.

I believe there is a portion of SNP support who are currently sceptical of independence right now or soon. Devo-max with borrowing powers within a UK framework may just be the solution to the short term question of independence. You make some fair points, I know a few Labour supporters who would like independence but just cannot bring themselves to vote SNP/Greens ect. For me personally I favour independence but not a huge fan of the SNP. Devo Max is something I would consider as a compromise however, the more I see what is happening at WM and the Tories / Brexit fiasco the more I think feck it let's go the full hog.

True 7 hours ago, A Boy Named Crow said: I don't know much about her, but a quick google tells me she called Boris Johnson scum, then refused to apologise. She'd get my vote! She's too abrasive. Plus she's a militant anti feminist. 3 hours ago, jack D and coke said: Starmer was also a lawyer for the CPS. “Sir” Keir is establishment to his fecking toenails. He can get tae. And as for Anus Sarwar. The only positive thing about Starmer is he is very polished and speaks well. Although most of it is drivel. Hes easy on the eye too which is unusual for a politician for some reason. 2 hours ago, I P Knightley said: There's a strong argument for Labour putting up a woman as leader since Johnson and half of his cabinet would cower in the face of debate with a woman. You can almost picture Rees-Mogg sucking his thumb as he gets told off by Rayner or one of the other strong female characters in Labour for speaking in Latin. You're right, though, about charisma. Blair had it in spades and was up against Major and Hague, who didn't. For all his qualities, Brown doesn't have charisma and, in the absence of a charismatic candidate, the country will revert to the Tory option. They/we are still wary of Labour for whatever old reasons. Despite all the shite from the Tories from the last eleven years, they still have a lead in the polls on voting intention; with Johnson as leader. It's astounding. I like Rayner and she would be a shot in the arm for the party but I'm not convinced she'd carry a general election; too many rough edges for the older voters to tolerate. She eventually wound her neck in for the language she used but we all know she said it; she meant it and she wasn't wrong. Shes as rough as a bag of spanners.

This is just my opinion and I do understand that people have a different take on things. The timing looks pretty good at the moment. SNP / Labour supporters who are maybe hesitant about imminent independence. Possibly SNP supporters who are utterly sick of the Tories will switch to Labour as a tactical vote and the extra carrot might be more powers and a route to a referendum in the future. I would lay out a clear set of parameters to be met in a future referendum. For it to succeed it would require 60% of votes cast. 50% of eligible votes voting yes. Maybe ask for as much as 70% of votes cast in the 16 to 25 year olds. At least one more confirmatory vote at some point afterwards. Do all the things that Brexit did not and avoid a lot of the aftermath. Edited November 5, 2021 by Victorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see an opportunity. Labour should assume that independence will happen or that the division caused by the Tories refusing to respect democracy will drag on and on and on. Labour should clear the path for a democratic choice but set a very high bar. It's then up to the independence movement to meet it. All fair and pre-determined. If independence is going to happen, it might as well be in conjunction with a fresh set of eyes and ideology dealing with the process. If Labour were to live up to a high standard of conduct throughout, it would stand them in good stead to become the party in power in an independent Scotland.

Already behind the 8-ball over his flat renovation debacle and after being reprimanded for his dodgy holiday in Mustique it becomes clear why Johnson is desperate to get the standards committee dismantled and replaced by a load of his mates. The Eton Mess has tried to game the system over his freebie holiday at his mate's gaff at Marbella, declaring it to one register with no detail to try to avoid having to declare it in full on the members register. However Angela Rayner knows precisely what the Tory criminal cabal are all about and is all over Bozo like one of his ill fitting suits.
