Well if Corbyn's "team" think winning an election should have priority over a futile* attempt to "stop Brexit" (however "principled") then many Labour members and voters will agree I'm afraid.
(* this is the relevant word, if Labour had a way of halting this and keeping their voter coalition largely intact, does anybody think they wouldn't take it?)

Re: Saturday 30th June & Sunday 1st July 2018
That may be true in a healthy democracy with a free, independent press, but no one deserves a corrupt government and few are in a position to prevent it. In FPTP many people are stuck in a safe seat powerless to change anything. With a corrupt press, the agenda of foreign billionaire owners becomes the "will of the people". But the main reason I don't think we deserve what is happening right now is because when Theresa May went to the country in 2017 specifically asking for a mandate for her hard Brexit outside the single market she didn't get one, yet both government and opposition are determined to pursue one anyway. So much for democracy. Apparently some answers are more important to listen to than others.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Yep, one thing I have always believed is that we ultimately get the politics (and politicians) we deserve.

So people who want to leave the EU to protect UK overseas territories that operate as tax havens from scrutiny can lie and cheat, overspend, possibly collude with Russians to an end that endangers European nations, possibly use foreign money and possibly benefit from illegally harvested social media data to micro-target political ads that are not viewed and therefore approved by the electoral commission and that's ok because people who had no idea any of this was going on "allowed" themselves to be duped?AnatolyKasparov wrote:I agree with many of your criticisms, but ultimately if (for example) enough people decide they want to believe the often fantastical stuff from our papers, that is down to them.
Brexit was not an informed choice.
Westminster insisted the Scottish Independence vote was an informed choice. They insisted on a detailed white paper from the Scottish government on how they would deliver it if there was a vote for independence before the referendum. Voters weren't offered the same informed choice in the EU referendum and as far as staying in or leaving the single market they aren't being offered a choice at all.
We deserve better than this.

Basically Gove and his acolytes both inside and outside of the DfE lied through their teeth about the very system that their own party had put together in the late 1980s.Whitehall ends up with greater control over schools, while free sources of support dry up.
Roberts, now into her third headship, has always opted to work in schools that remain under local authority control. “It always seemed to me that the rhetoric around autonomy was unconvincing,” she says. “I never understood what we were trying to escape from. It is the accountability structure and progress tables that are the things that constrain our lives. That’s nothing to do with the governance structure that we have.”
Others involved in drawing up policy since 2010 warn that too much emphasis was placed on the benefits of giving schools more power. “There was always undue optimism among some of the advocates of academisation about the potential benefits in what in England was already quite an autonomous schools system,” says David Laws, the former education minister who now heads the Education Policy Institute.

The New York Times is becoming interested in the Brexit connections to Mueller's Trump/Russia case and reveals something interesting in this article about Aaron Banks:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/29/worl ... 22mo8aWO7Z" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In Washington, the investigators for the special prosecutor, Robert S. Mueller III, and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have also obtained records of Mr. Banks’s communications, including some with Russian diplomats and about Russian business deals.
And they have taken a special interest in close ties Mr. Banks and other Brexit leaders built to the Trump campaign.
On Nov. 12, 2016, Mr. Banks met President-elect Trump in Trump Tower. Upon his return to London, Mr. Banks had another lunch with the Russian ambassador where they discussed the Trump visit.

It is interesting to compare Hungary and Turkey, with one within the EU and one without. Can EU membership put a break on anti-democratic developments in Hungary or not? The structures of US democracy are equally being put to the test. In all these situations you are reliant on those with power maintaining democratic institutions above and beyond partisan loyalties.

There is little difference between the Scottish "white paper" and the side of the Brexit bus - both were a pack of lies. (The former also included a list of over optimistic aspirations, much the same as the Brexitters subsequently put forward). Both the 'independence' and 'leave' arguments are based on the same "let's regain our sovereignty" mantra, despite never having lost it.Willow904 wrote: Westminster insisted the Scottish Independence vote was an informed choice.

The big differences (imo) are the immigration "issue" - we don't have the same level of immigration up here (unless you count the English, as some hard line Nats do) and the fact that there was a two year run up to the independence referendum.

Yes, two years instead of 6 months of discussing the merits of the case was a very important differsnce. And I think a government plan for independence that can be scrutinised is very different from leave campaigners suggesting what someone else might do it we leave.Eric_WLothian wrote:There is little difference between the Scottish "white paper" and the side of the Brexit bus - both were a pack of lies.

Rather different nearly twenty years ago --
In 1999, after receiving 27 per cent of the vote in national elections, Haider's Freedom party was included in national government, earning Austria months of diplomatic isolation within the European Union. However, Haider, who always preferred the role of maverick populist outside the mainstream than the grit of day-to-day politics, ceded leadership of his party to a deputy. 'When it actually came to the final and boldest step into real power, his courage failed him,' said Misik. 'He was a complex personality, eccentric and borderline.'
A multi-millionaire following the death of a rich landowner uncle who bequeathed him a huge estate controversially bought from an Italian Jew forced to flee Austria in 1940, Haider, always very popular in his home province of Carinthia, had toned down his rhetoric in recent years - though recent election posters in the town of Graz featured an immigrant beggar woman and the title 'Clean Up Graz'

I don't know. How long have ordinary people been enfranchised historically? I'm mostly referring to the US, UK and other Western European nations. Have some concessions been made to the multitudes with no guarantee rights will continue? History teaches civilisations come to an end. Are we experiencing an ending? I don't know.

Very humid here in Somerset. I bought a crocosmia plant yesterday to fill a gap in the front garden left by a lavetara that died, but I had to get the lavetara stump out before I could plant it so was waiting for the 'cool' of the evening but that never really came so it was a case of giving up on dignity and getting on with it. I hope the neighbours enjoyed the spectacle of me wrestling a plant stump out of the ground with sweat pouring off the end of my nose. I got it out though, so I guess it was worth it.
