If it's tomorrow, JC wins.

If it's in 6 months, I wouldn't trust him to be able to disavow Hamas and show support for Ukraine, so I take Truss.

Young people don't vote. They can't be bothered to get up before the polls close at 10pm, after a night out, and they still think their mum ought to do it for them. The lettuce would win, as Husker indicated.

Loads of young people vote. Momentum and co vote. More to the point they would also work all night and the following day to get the vote out

Demanding a ceasefire and political talks would play way better with the elecorate than it used to. Israel have burned through their support like a wildfire.

JC might do very well from this.

Momentum (if it even still exists) is a fringe group. And it isn't mostly young people who go round getting the vote out, which is just as well because most voters wouldn't relate to them. And Labour's youth vote actually declined under Corbyn -- it did in '17, compared to the previous GE, even at the height of the 'Oh Jeremy Corbyn' thing when less-well-informed Remainers still thought he was Remain, and it did even further in '19, after his pro-Putin reaction to the Salisbury poisonings and his gradual outing as a Left Leaver. Photos of Corbynite meetings at the time always looked as if the plaster had fallen off the ceiling, because everyone had white hair, because they were basically elderly middle-class tankies wanting to re-live their college days.

yeah ok. we can do better has best part of 500k folowers. Maybe you dont call them young but i'm an old git and in political reality they are. They are involved, active and would mobalise in hours if this bizarre hypothetical was a reality. Your attacks on the left will still be sleeping or asking for their tea. I'd take the bizarre hypothetical in an instant.

I accept saying 'momentum' was an error. Interesting they are looking at ending their reliance on being a labour member so that they can appeal to left wing voters again.

Rumour today that the SNP will end their agreement to govern with the Greens. They've been forced into this by the fact that Green members are to have a vote on whether to continue in government and it's widely accepted that having the juniour partners in the agreement decide to leave would be another major embarrassment so they'll make the decision first. It's another failure for Humza as he was very vocal in his support for the coalition during his leadership campaign and said that ending the agreement would be 'a very foolish thing to do'. Only yesterday he was still talking up the coalition and saying that SNP members wouldn't get a vote on whether it should continue as they had already agreed to it previously. Looks like the SPADS have convinced him then.

The main issues for the Greens are the Cass report, which the leadership don't accept, and the scrapping of climate targets, which the leadership were fine with but their members weren't.

Hopefully it also means Patrick Harvie resigning from the Green party leadership and a more serious person replacing him.

He was a racist thug who admitted he enjoyed killing people.

Welcome back.

Link please?

his little snippet from a 1966 speech by Guevara ought to have given Zetsche some pause:

Hatred is the central element of our struggle! Hatred that is intransigent...hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine...We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow! The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we'll destroy him! These hyenas are fit only for extermination. We must keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm! The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!

As for Guevara's views on race, he did not mince words. After the Revolution's victory in 1959, he famously said, "We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing.

...

Speaking of blacks he said: "The ***** is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent."
