Some thoughts on Rennard

The guy has been investigated and no action against him has been taken.

Some weak investigator, who couldn't find reason for action to be taken against him, has then decided to cover their own back with some petty pathetic stance that even though he couldn't find good reason to take action or to put it more simply do what he was paid to investigate, that Rennard should apologise.

While the entire things smells badly for Rennard to apologise would mean he had to admit the guilt that this well paid expert couldn't find.

The political elite should ask themselves would they admit to a guilt that a prosecutor could not find sufficient evidence of.

It easy to say yes and make the moral noises in the safe position of generating media awareness etc. but if it is the case that apologies should be made I'll look forward to the many the should now be spouted from the likes of Yvette Cooper and others while they were in office.

Progress Bursary Application: How does Labour win a majority in 2015?

How does Labour win a majority in 2015?

I would like to apply for a bursary for the political weekend and despite being male and, as such, falling into the automatic default for deliberate inequality and victimisation by the party, feel that my being a poorly educated, living with dyslexia, Northerner, who is unfortunately living on benefits because of medical retirement should enable me to meet most, if not all, tick box evaluations.

As a grateful recipient of bursaries in the past I could also simply re write previous ‘winners’ and claim the prize with little regard to what it takes to win.

The party itself, in its hope to win a majority in 2015, should do very much the same, we did after all lose the last election by not listening to what ‘we’ were frequently being told, branding even supporters bigots on occasion because ‘we’ know far better about the communities ‘we’ claim ‘we’ want to represent than the people who actually live in them, and that great success served us so well.

‘We’ should continue with our university textbook view of life, especially that formed in the Westminster bubble, appoint candidates not because they have ability to represent, have knowledge of constituencies or basic essentials, that would make the great unwashed think now that’s a person who is worth going to the polling station to vote for but because they fill a quota and rely on a complete and utter contempt for Call Me Dave, while being firm in our belief that we will win in 2015, not because ‘we’ are worthy of being elected, that ‘we’ have sound policy that won’t just make the Nation better but will also heel the damage caused by the previous incumbents, nor the values to show that not only does politics matter it works but with strength in the assumption that by default ‘we’ will win because it is our turn.

Such foolhardy contempt did, after all, bring little consequence to the party machine, the last time it failed, those who lost their seats didn’t exactly lose out, some are even in better paid jobs, the only people who truly suffered are those who let Dave and Co in and if they are still stupid enough to not see the light why should we care, it’s not like our bubble is going to pop is it…..

As mentioned I would like to apply for a bursary but having left the party because I am sick and tired of the contempt it has I don’t think it would be appropriate.
 

For anyone reading to the end however some 2015 suggestions that could help win are:

Make our politics ‘attractive’ to all not just the shouty minorities we feel we must appease to succeed.

Make the party worthy of being elected, not just in a position to be elected.

Stop pandering to the latest headline.

Truly understand what the action of our politics equates to.

Listen to what we have been told.
