…well this conference has been the final nail in the coffin for me
Wasn’t going to vote for them anyway but I hoped they would get their shit together enough to be part of a left wing coalition. There’s been multiple indicators from the conference and the results of it that it’s just going to continue to go further into chaos and fail to attract people to it
The name choice is at least something I can laugh a bit about though. Don’t understand why “Your Party” was even an option. It would obviously be widely ridiculed if it was chosen. The other choices were so bad too though. Don’t understand how they couldn’t think of any better options than “Our Party”, “For The Many” and “Popular Alliance”
Its been their official registered name since early September. And the Monster Raving Loony Party was already taken.
Nothing to convey inherent trustworthiness like a tricksy, content free rhetorical device of a name. The Labour Party’s affinity to labour may be debatable, but at least their name makes a falsifiable assertion rather than just trying to pressure-sell you an affinity scam (“vote for us bruv, we’re your party” “umm, yes but what do you…” “we’re YOUR PARTY!”).
Quite. And I think that a lot of people can agree that this country absolutely needs reform, but that Reform would be a disaster.
A brief preview of future tabloid front pages:
- Infighting over health policy: SORE PARTY
- Infighting over Crossrail 2: BORE PARTY
- They make a woman under 50 leader: PHWOAR PARTY
- Jeremy makes another droning speech of little consequence: SNORE PARTY
- Party funds dry up: POOR PARTY
- MP caught in nightclub with not-his-wife: YOU’RE TARTY
Because the slogan would be “Our Party In the middle of our street”
And whilst they have plenty of madness, they’re too left to be in the middle of anything 😁
I’m glad the Greens stepped into the space to pickup the sincere left wing voters just as all this kicked off.
