Delusional coup attempt

[srb7677]

Not really.

Just the left sneering at the electorate and going down into inevitable defeat. Nothing new or different there

It was definitely new and different, and thus seen as a threat to the status quo. Which is why the deep state, the wealthy elites, and orthodox establishmentarians of every political hue - including inside the Labour party itself - conspired against it.

Any Tories been asked to leave the chamber recently? NO

Well two were suspended yesterday score one all.

Yes I know you would hate it but it was definitely something different.

You think am going to tootle off and read up on something you referenced!! Jog on, post a reference or don't mention it.

The policy agenda was well publicised at the time, so I assumed you'd already be aware of it - abolition of tuition fees, rent control and security of tenure for private tenants, more social housing construction, and end to zero hours contracts, public ownership of the essential utilities and railways, an end to excessively exploitative work contracts, a living wage for all workers, modest tax increases for the very well off...and so on.

Yes I know you would hate it but it was definitely something different.

I also know you will not be bothered to read the entire manifesto even if I referenced it for you. It is so easy to find that if you had any intention of doing so you would already have found it yourself.

But here is a good summary of the key points....

Am talking about Labour's 2017 manifesto in a nutshell, the first steps on the road to replacing the failed thatcherite model with something much more akin to the nordic model

Care to elaborate on what you perceived as different? I'm not being pedantic, am I tested.

When the Labour Party offered something different, the deep state in cahoots with establishment stooges everywhere made sure it didn't happen.

Perhaps, but these things do not happen in a vacuum. They are obviously unhappy about how democracy is working in their country and it sounds as if they had a fairly sophisticated plan to (in their minds) fix it.
This is why it becomes potentially dangerous when the electorate cannot see any difference whichever party they vote for.

Actually I call it cats fighting in a bag. The speaker shut the Commons down for a while yesterday due to yet another Tory procedural cock-up.

There is still a Tory government. So it hasn't.

And decide they want to create the second reich to replace it.....sounds delusional to me

You are right. Unemployment benefits, old age pensions, healthcare etc. You are right, it will never catch on.

It already has

Quite, I would not rule out it happening in Britain.
