After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed on the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could only win it back
By increased work quotas. Would it not in that case be simpler
for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another? -
No. Swathes of traditionally left voters voted against immigration. And swathes of traditionally conservative voters voted for remain or for remain politicians. Your compass is wrong. The left in this country needs a new map.

Christ what a shitshow.
That the opposition couldn’t put a finger on the liability that is Johnson is all the evidence you need that Corbyn and Swinson were both shit. Fuck this ‘if it weren’t for the meedja’ shit, even if I agree with some of it - you play the cards you’re dealt. That’s why some of us think all this anti-Blairism has thrown the baby out with the bath water - if we want a left wing government in this country, it’s going to have to be one that appeals to be centre right, cause we’re so fucking skewed as a nation.
Or else we can be politically pure and complain about how in Europe it’s different, and be blocked out power for another decade.
Wake the fuck up, everyone.
PS - Oh, and inb4 ‘Chuka lost his seat’. I’m not saying that the current centrist trends are any good either. But there’s a huge chunk of the middle ground that is contested, and that the Tories seem to have made gains in.

NB - when a brown person does this, it’s a dangerous threat to democracy. I’m sure it wouldn’t be cast as such for the Tories.
