Tory consternation that Labour is encouraging its supporters to register for the Tory Mayoral primary election in London. According to the Tories, this is in order to block Boris Johnson, since they remain touchingly convinced that this person is a serious candidate. Frankly, it is much more likley to be the opposite, since he simply isn't. But either way, that's primaries for you. How is any of this wrong within the system in question?
Which is why I'm all in favour of primaries. Imagine if the two candidates with the most nominations from a party's branches for PPC or for Leader were then subjected to a binding ballot of every registered voter in the constituency or the country, and that this happened in the course of every Parliament without fail.
The sort of people favoured by central machines would struggle to get on the ballot at all, and certainly wouldn't be selected. And the same is true of each party's several lunatic fringes, who could always then put up under their own steam and see how far they got.

Oh give it a rest. Pollard believes in lying, he's a neocon. If he lied in court against Clark, well then he lied in court. Leo Strauss would have been so proud. And so would Max Shachtman, and behind him Leon Trotsky. "Revolutionary truth" and all that. That's just what neocons do. It's what they are, the point where Trotskyism and Fascism meet.
ReplyDelete"The point where Trotskyism and Fascism meet": I like that one, I'm going to use it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, for the reasons already stated, a neocon is an unrelaible witness, certainly in any dispute with a critic of his cult.
So that's that: nothing that anyone can say against Neil from that perspective can have the slightest effect on me. I simply don't believe you, and I don't care who or what does.
No, can we talk about primaries, please?
Are you a spambot too? Please get Neil Clark to talk to us if he's not too busy being exposed for fraud on Wikipedia..
ReplyDeleteYou still don't get it, do you? I simply do not believe a word that you members of what is not just a death-cult but a lie-cult say about Neil, one of your most trenchant critics. You are simply wasting your time here. Further off-topic comments will just be deleted.
