@pre @ChrisMayLA6 Something that'd be interesting to us new Β£6 entryists would be to understand how the thinkings of the higher-ups are perceived and discussed by the base.
Maybe we start to get a little more insight when the candidates for the bye-elections in Dalston and Hackney Central are rannounced, as well the the candidate for Makerfield ΒΏthis Wednesday?

@DigitalTaoist #ChaosWithEdMiliband whichever way the #deckchairs are arranged on the sinking ship could be a bit more fun if the Β£3 entryism fee was brought back, but for many of us greying crusties this six quid deal from the Greens represents best value.
Maybe as a special thankyou to Burnham for making the GM mayoral bye-election a possibilty coz obviously he'd need to win Makerfield first for that to happen.

Lab's Five Million Pound man?
(And maybe cheap at half the price if the Faragists and Greens make hay. And at what overall cost to Lab if they were to lose both Makerfield and the Greater Manchester mayoralty?)

@jbond There is no alternative but chaos. Allegedly.

@2legged @staringatclouds I hope I’m not.
I worked in the English health service.
Politicians were very interested in appearing to do something. They had no idea how anything worked so most of the somethings were at best ineffectual and usually made matters worse.
This is an old problem dating back at least to the Roman Empire.
Senior management are aspiring politicians. Most do nothing of use.
This is going to be very difficult to debate in 500 character chunks.

Yes it does.
"Burnham would have to resign as Manchester mayor because he can’t combine the role with being an MP."
Cue all of the delicious accusations of profligacy if that happens.

There has to be a mayoral bye-election in Greater Manchester for this to happen doesn't there? …doesn't there?? …DOESN'T THERE???
(coz didn't Keef tell the NEC to say there'd have to be previously?)
