Politika u UK

[Budja]

Tacno, ali ovaj rasplet je potpuno iznenadio analiticare.Doduse, meni se odmah ucinilo da je Kameron u petak ponudio koaliciju no svi analiticari su tu ponudu procenili kao podrska LibDems manjinskoj Vladi.Sto se same brzine tice, to je stvar ocekivanja i politicke kulture.U Britaniji nemaju iskustvo koalicije, pa je svako odugovlacenje islo na stetu partnera. U Evropi je to norma, pa nema ni pritiska da se stvari odrade u tri dana.

...On the other hand the Liberal Democrats have already achieved one of their major aims, which is the introduction of the Single Transferable Voting system.The way it works is fairly simple: you vote Liberal Democrat and you get the bloody Tories.

Sve u svemu, kad se napravi paralela, u UK je koalicija SNS i LDP prejebala DS :D

Meni se vise svidja paralela koja se zaista dogodila.Koalicija DS-SPS prejebala SRS-DSS.

Aj kad se vec frljamo: koalicija DSS-LDP(ili G17) prejebala DS. 2003. vise-manje

I službeno brat na brata u Labouru udario...Ed Milliband: Why I want to lead the Labour party

Today, I am putting my name forward to be leader of the Labour party.Let's move on from the politics of Blairites and Brownites and unite around a new set of ideas. This leadership election cannot just be about leadership candidates. It has to be about you as well.

trka za sledeceg lidera laburisticke stranke se zahuktava... (link)

[Roger Sanchez]

Došao je na red i epilog izbora. Red Ed. 2:20, 2:40, 3:45.Momenti za povijest u ovom videoju. Bracka ljubav je na mukama, a na čelu partije je čovjek koji nije dobio većinsku podršku niti u parlamentarnoj niti u širokoj partiji. Eda očekuje jedno vrebanje iza busije nakon sljedećih izbora, koje bi s ovako glupom unutrašnjo-vanjskom sitovacijom u Labouru lako mogao popušiti.

[MancMellow]

Ne svidja mi se previse izbor. Korak ulevo(cak nebitno da li ce to i stvarno raditi tj. predlagati, percepcija nije nebitna), a ne mislim da je, u ovoj ekonomskoj situaciji, pa i onoj za 5 godina, to ono sto je potrebno laburistima da povrate vlast. Navija sam za Davida, ima vece iskustvo, izgleda mi sposobnije, ne znam...

[BraveMargot]

odlican govor juce. odlican izbor.izrazi lica davida milibanda u poslednjih nekoliko dana su priceless.

[Budja]

Ako slusam isecke iz medija, govor je pomalo zbrdazdolisan.All things to all people.Treba mu malo stofa, onih par finalnih recenica, mnogo je vikao i ba mi delovalo neubedljivo.Svakako manje antipatican od Dejvida. Opet, cini mi se da ce elektorat imati problema da ih razlikuje - Dejvid, Ed i Nik lice kao jaje jajetu.Cini mi se da je glavno pitanje za naredne izbore borba izmedju Lab i LibDems - ako prvi strpnu dovoljno na severu i Skotskoj prepolovocie LibDem parlamentarce. Sa druge strane svako strpkanje na jugu of LibDems ide u korist konzervativaca.Na kraju, osim na nivou cise politike, ideoloski ce naredni izbori biti krajnje nezanimljivi.

Gideon se bacio na posao.

First you hit "the rich"... then you hit "the scroungers". That is how George Osborne believes you prove that spending cuts are "tough but fair".So, this morning's pledge to cut child benefit from high rate taxpayers has just been matched by a crowd and tabloid-pleasing promise to cap the amount anyone on benefits can claim. The chancellor says that no family will, in future, receive more in out-of-work benefits than the average household income of those who are in work.What he did not spell out is how exactly this would be achieved. The stories of people receiving tens of thousands of pounds in benefit all relate to people with large families living in large houses in expensive areas - usually central London. Presumably, they will have to be evicted. If they get a job no-one will complain. If they move, the council who receives them will not be best pleased. If they become homeless, then the council they live in will have to find them accommodation which is how the problem began in the first place.Update 1246: A government source has just told me that the chancellor's benefits cap is more a "symbol" than a policy whose implications have been fully worked out and will produce real savings.

Ovo je sigurno Brave Margot... :

As Labour are preparing to get back into power, the really big question is what can they do to stop the vile Tories ever getting back into power again? The damage they do to this country during their stays in power is so extreme that it's unethical to allow it to continue.The Tories had 18 years of unbroken rule in the past - despite the fact that Thatcher was outvoted 3 to 2, she "won" elections by a landslide.Real electoral reform would allow the British public to demonstrate that since the 1950s it has a massive left-wing majority. Just as Sweden had 50 years of social democrat rule, we need that sort of period of left wing rule in Britain - either by Labour or in a Labour-led coalition with other left-wing parties (like the Greens, Respect, Socialist Alliance, maybe a reconstituted Social Democrats if they split back out from the moribund Lib Dems).If we could just have 50 solid years of good Labour rule, all the harm that the Tories have been doing to this country - the inequality, the poverty, the privatisation, the marketisation, the decimation of industry, the obsession with money, the destruction of public service - could finally be reversed.The guarantee of a left-wing majority would also mean we wouldn't need the likes of Blair to appeal to neo-liberal natural conservative voters. Good old fashioned socialism is the answer to Britain's problems, but we can't guarantee it will be elected even if the majority support it, because the electoral system is failing (remember: 3 to 2 against Thatcher, she got a landslide. Guess who designed that electoral system?)The Tories are intent on gerrymandering the electoral system yet again, which will make it easier for them to get back into power in the future. Our best hopes lie with Labour committing to the radical constitutional change that will allow the vast majority of people in this country to express their natural choice - social democracy, not capitalism - and for it to be given the decades it needs to work. There's no point celebrating that we'll kick the nasty party out at the next election, if we give it the chance of fighting back at the one after that. Massive constitutional change - including banning rich businessmen funding the Tories to do their bidding, a fairer voting system, and ensuring that the most marginalised groups in society have a voice at elections (immigrants without citizenship, prisoners, 16-18 year olds) then we have a good chance of banishing Conservative hegemony forever.
