Today's THE LONG READ:

Can PR save democracy?

"In the ERS’s analysis of different PR systems, the winner in every case was the minor party ..."

What was the really remarkable thing about the 2017 Election?

Was it Corbyn ? I suggest not - although he WAS clearly the catalyst ...

Was it Twitter ? Perhaps, although possibly not in the way that you imagine.

What was really, really remarkable, was the NUMBER OF ACTIVISTS.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND.

TWEETERS ON TWITTER.

THIS is the LESSON that is also remarkable, in that it is almost always FORGOTTEN. 😒

And it is also why the left are so crap at elections.

This was also the lesson of #BatleyandSpen

Forget it, at your peril ... 😒

FOA @ScouseSocialis2 , & anybody else: Every trade unionist, anti-cuts campaigner, community activist and all those who want to see an alternative to austerity politicians can become a TUSC candidate. But voters should know that any councillor elected under the TUSC banner will:
(1) Oppose all cuts and closures to council services, jobs, pay and conditions. We reject the claim that 'some cuts' are necessary to our services or that the Covid crisis is a reason for austerity.
(2) Support all workers' struggles against government policies making ordinary people pay for the crisis.

(3) Fight for united working class struggle against racism and all forms of oppression.

Will the left ever again espouse self determination, as they did in the days of Peter Shore, Michael Foot, and the great Tony Benn?

Or will they forever whine on, about how the neoliberal, neo-colonial, fascist EU needs to save them from themselves? (1/2)
The answer to this question is fundamental to the prospects of there ever again being a Left Government. Because, while the middle class "left" moans about this or that problem with Brexit, the working class are being killed off by the Establishment. (2/3)
Eventually, the working class will probably just ignore all elections, and that will mean Tory hegemony until the end of time. Is that what the middle class really want? Will that allow them a life of easeful comfort?

OK, listen up, please? 😊 Here follows a thread - please read all of it. (1/11)

You are all aware that I, and others, have been stewarding this:

#ScrapNHSBill

Petition: Protect the #NHS , Press Pause on the White Paper for Health and Social care:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5810…
So, we got to the 10,000 eventually, which forces a response from the Government.

The response was puerile, facile and lied as well, particularly about the so-called "consultation". 😒

So we pressed on. (2/11)
In the meantime, various other similar campaigns were gathering momentum: (3/11)

Everybody who sees themselves as being left, should be made to reflect on two simple, but intensely germane, facts about the Labour Party.
1.) But it was not to be. Council Labour Groups were strongholds of the right-wing. Out of more than 7,000 Labour councillors only 400 or so had supported Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership bid. (@TUSCoalition , No Cuts Peoples' Budget)
2.)

Cand. ______ Members _ Reg. Sup. _ Aff. Sup. _ Total
_______________Vs _ % ____ Vs _ % ____ Vs _ % ____ Vs _ %
Starmer _ 225,135/56.1% _ 10,228/76.6% _ 40,417/53.1% _ 275,780/56.2%

275,780!!!

Turnout: 62.6 per cent. 490,731 returned ballots, from 784,181 eligible voters.
