    If it works we’ll need some back up petitions in reserve for those that follow. Even if old slack jaw resigns Labour won’t go for an election – Miliband, Johnson, Purnell, Harman, Blears……..

    Who’s replacing him in this parallel petition universe, exactly? Cos any of the NuLab arseholes would be worse if he didn’t call a General Election, as would Cameron if he did…

      So you’re saying he’s our best hope?

    Its the age-old “British politics dilemma”. Do I take a course of action which gets rid of one cnut, only for him to be replaced by a potentially worse one? Or do I vote for whoever offers the chance to reform the electoral system and make it fairer, even if I think they’re a bunch of useless spunkrags (i.e. Lib Dems)?

    Answers on the back of a ten pound note please.

      It’s made easier by the FPTP system.

      If your local Labour MP/candidate is sound – ie rebels against the government on internment-without-charge, etc – (mine is Jeremy Corbyn, who is excellent), then vote for them. If your constituency is a Lab/Lib marginal with a NuLab loyalist MP/candidate, then vote for the Libs. If your constituency is a Lib/Tory marginal, then obviously vote for the Libs.

      And if your constituency isn’t a marginal at all, then vote for your personal choice out of the Greens and the best-placed socialist party – you can help them keep their deposit and improve their national vote share, which is the best you can really hope for.

      The tough one is if your constituency is a NuLab/Tory marginal. I’d probably clothespeg my nose and vote NuLab, on the grounds that the impact will be to reduce the size of the impending Tory majority or (ideally) create a hung parliament, both of which are Good Things…

    Is the quality of the Lib of any relevance?

    Not really: at least, I don’t think there’s a single Lib who’s as wholeheartedly bad as NuLabour loyalists.
