Oh, I Can Fix That For You.

Martin Kettle:

Nevertheless, the progressive alliance option is undoubtedly a growing debate. At its core are three propositions. The first is that the majority of people in the UK do not vote Conservative Labour, so the non-Tory Labour parties need to cooperate more.

Oh, I could play this game over and over:

Nevertheless, the progressive alliance option is undoubtedly a growing debate. At its core are three propositions. The first is that the majority of people in the UK do not vote Conservative Lib Dem, so the non-Tory Lib Dem parties need to cooperate more.

Nevertheless, the progressive alliance option is undoubtedly a growing debate. At its core are three propositions. The first is that the majority of people in the UK do not vote Conservative Green, so the non-Tory Green parties need to cooperate more.

The assumption that people who do not vote for a particular party can be packaged up into a progressive alliance is utter wankery – but then, this is the Guardian, so wankery is par for the course. I don’t vote Tory, but I’ll be damned if I vote for any of the other charlatans in Kettle’s progressive alliance, for I despise progressivism as it is nothing other than socialism and socialism is evil.

Kettle is an idiot.

  1. Progressivism appears to be a race to abandon everything that has worked in the past for centuries, if not millenia, just for the sake of change. Degeneration or Entropyphilia might be better terms.

    Forming alliances of ‘the unhappy’ is the way they have always tried to achieve power. The trouble with that is that although ‘everyone’ wants change they don’t want the same change. How for instance will the Muslim-loving homesexuals get on with the Homosexual-hating Muslims if and when that alliance gains power?

    It used to be said that the Labour party gathered together to disagree while the Conservative party gathered together to agree. There is still an element of truth in that.
