Omnishambles

I keep seeing the UK equivalent of totebaggers repeat phrases like "Jeremy Corbyn has no plan to win a general election." Maybe true! Maybe he can't!

And the anti-Corbyn Labour faction? What's their plan for riding their wave of extreme popularity to victory?


Oh, they don't have to have one. They're just not "Trots" you see.

Contempt for voters (explicit and vocal, the quiet contempt has been there for years) has become a feature of the dominant factions of the left-leaning major parties in both the UK and the US. I'm not sure how that's a good plan to win elections, but I don't get paid the big bucks.

Everyone misses Binky.
