Re: TSR Labour Party Question Time.I am trying to forge stronger relation between Labour and the Socialists!(Original post by obi_adorno_kenobi)
Harsher than was necessary. The Socialist position has been, for a very long time I might add, to stand up for socialist principles and not water them down just to meet the approval of other parties. For a good while I was able to bridge the gap between the Socialists and Labour by putting forward proposals that stood up to the Right. But I could be guaranteed that the one party who would vote no en bloc would be the Liberal Democrats. I would garner votes from Libers, from UKIP (well Paddy) and occasionally secular Tories but never Liberal Democrats. So the point TopHat makes about building a unified Left involving your party, I'm afraid is daft. There are two parties that can and should work together - the Labour Party and the Socialists. But it would require a lot from both sides to convince one and other that unity is possible. With the current Labour leadership, I don't think the Socialists would bite. -

Re: TSR Labour Party Question Time.You should try to make sure that your MPs represent this in the House (support for the anti-NMW bill is a bit disconcerting), and it's difficult enough that several of them have negative histories within the Socialist Party. I personally would like to see these closer relations happen, so I'll be arguing for them. I think we both believe in democratic socialism, we both just need to show it more - Labour could focus on policies that matter (the bill you have in the house is a good example, and you've said yourself that you like the Scottish Socialist Party so maybe look at them for some ideas, perhaps?). Likewise, the Socialists could maybe have a more tolerant attitude towards you guys. It's silly to write you all off as soft-left centrists.(Original post by davidmarsh01)

Your approach is concerning because possibly the moderates may feel alienated and isolated. -

Re: TSR Labour Party Question Time.I really didn't mean you Dave. I just get the feeling that certain elements of your party are seeking to isolate you in an attempt to dive into bed with Morgsie.(Original post by davidmarsh01)

Re: TSR Labour Party Question Time.My request isn't pending, it's been rejected. You think its worth a third try?(Original post by RoryS)

Welcome to the Labour Party.
Thanks for the offer. From what I've seen, TSR political parties are far more different than their real life counterparts, so I wouldn't completely close my door on other parties.(Original post by Morgsie)

Re: TSR Labour Party Question Time.Have you not considered the virtues of democratic socialism? The Socialist Party is a consistently left-wing group on TSR, and we have many members who support Labour in RL, such as myself. Perhaps even more than TSR Labour!(Original post by R.P.Everything.)
Cheers, will do.
