He means that we already have so many MP seats that we're deciding if it'd be selfish or not of us to take another one from other more needy parties.

Ah ok. I see that you're a humble party.

Simply asking Meenu a question if she is cool with being discriminated against because of her gender/ethnicity. Candidate A (M) candidate B (F)- both equal, but employer chooses candidate A purely for the reason that he is a man, if that is okay?

Of course I'm not saying that if people should be automatically entitled a job based on sex/ethnicity, for the record I'm against stuff like all women short lists. Just wanted to ask Meenu a question.

No of course not.

We're not turncoats; we have some views which are lefty and some which are righty. "Turncoats" implies that our views on certain matters change all the time.

Yes exactly.

Those who are more lefty are whipped to the right and those who are righty are whipped left, ergo turncoats.

Looking forward to a Socialist victory so we can get our number of seats back up to where we were before the unfortunate incident triggering this election.

Do you guys even whip votes?

By being a fence sitting centrist of course.

The left-right paradigm is no longer relevant and it has strangled our political system. Centrism offers pragmatism and a willingness to consider all arguments, in order to achieve the best outcome for the country. Ideology has run its course in our political system - neither left or right offer a coherent argument on the future direction of Britain as the goals of both sides are eroded by endless bickering that strangles our democracy.

I don't think centrism can be defined as 'fence-sitting' in the current era of British politics.

Very rarely there is a Party whip an example is me killing off your Rail Bill last term

[RoryS]

I'm afraid, after discussions in the our sub-forum, no one from the TSR Labour Party is putting themselves forward as an MP.

You can count us out of this one.

This could be seen ages ago and I am completely shocked at people etc being unprepared for this By-Election.

People should have have started making preparations when the Statement by the Speaker was posted, not leaving it until the formal announcement where everyone is rushing all over the place.

I've edited my previous post to explain this point.

The Speaker's Statement regarding JPKC should have made people starting making plans, not leaving it until the formal announcement where people are rushing all over the place.

To be fair it's an odd situation with Nick resigning and it being unclear if the by election was going ahead and who would be running it so I can see why people weren't prepared.

There was a possibility regarding this, and there should have been a thought at the back of someone's mind.
