You couldn’t make it up. We forget, the Unions own the Labour party. They started it in 1900 (in Merthyr I believe?) and that ownership has never been relinquished. The Party tries to present itself as an independent party but that's smoke and mirrors. However, its possible now that even the unions are coming to realise R L-B is a donkey after all the bad interviews and exposed lies about her background.

TRINITY Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Watched Andrew Neil rip into Clive Lewis tonight. Lewis is a bloke who I knew little about. However he came over as another from the harder left. His main excuse for loosing the last election was because the electoral system is rigged !!!! THEN !!!

Breaking news at the end of the show Barry Gardiner has joined the contest. Actually he is correct, the electoral system is rigged. That's totally true and he should know because it was Gordon Brown who tried to rig it. They altered the constituency boundaries, "allegedly" because population densities had shifted in different areas. However it was done in such an obviously underhand manner that it gave Labour about a 10% advantage over the Tories in the final outcome back then. Scotland being a classic case in point. Scotland has nearly twice as many seats as it should have given the size of the population. When Scotland was a safe labour stronghold that worked in Gordon Brown's favour an he was more than happy to leave it that way, They got about half a dozen more Scottish Labour MPs in Westminster than they should have based on the electorate headcount. Now its predominately SNP it works against them, shot themselves in the foot. Actually it has shot all of us in the foot, we now have to put up with about six more SNP MPs than we should have to. Time for another Boundaries Commission review in Scotland I would say? soon please? Same as where they divided up four safe labour seats in the North of England to make five. Giving them a "free" extra MP on the Labour benches. That was OK until they lost the red wall, now instead of an extra Labour MP Boris got an extra "free"Tory MP out of it. BOOM BOOM! Gordon Brown was a slippery customer, a manipulator through and through, but in this instance it has backfired. It wouldn't have changed the outcome of this election but if it had been a close result Gordon's fiddling could have tipped the balance. He certainly cost Cameron an outright victory and saddled us with Clegg.in May 2010 with his boundary changes.

The number of mp,s were to be reduced to 600. I remember reading the local rag with its maps of the new boundaries in my area. Has this idea been ditched or could it still happen ?

The Boundaries Commission should be continuously monitoring the situation. The subject did come up a while ago but, like you said, it all went quiet again.

My take on it is that a political career in Labour party is a cushy number, and it attracts the wrong people for all the wrong reasons.. Candidates get selected not on their ability but on their loyalty to the Party and the cause. Not only in Parliament, local government is full of them too. Go to all the meetings, clap at all the right times, tell the branch chairman that was a wonderful speech from time to time and no matter how big a plonker you may be you will get on. First it will be committees etc and gradually you will rise through the ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
