Quote from: Barrister on Today at 12:19:09 PMBut same difference. There are many people "of the right". If the UK Conservative Party is utterly destroyed, those people won't just go away. Most likely they take over the LibDems, or else they build up a new party.
Quote from: Barrister on Today at 11:47:25 AMThat they suck or not is beyond the point.Quote from: viper37 on Today at 11:31:46 AMThe Conservatives are on a war path against Tim Horton's new woke coffee lids.
This is serious debate.
It's not "the Conservatives" - it's one Conservative backbench MP.
And those non-plastic straws really do suck.
I get a Tim's coffee every morning because it's convenient, but honestly about 1 time in 10 the cup already starts just leaking in my hands after awhile.
Quote from: Razgovory on Today at 12:39:55 PMYou have several threads on Left Wing antisemitism. For instance among Black Americans "Jews control everything" and "Jews ran the slave trade" have a lot of currency. There is also belief that Israelis train police to kill Black people. Among the Left-wing protestors at these Universities middle eastern conspiracy theories gain a lot of traction such as the idea that Israelis are stealing the organs of Palestinian children. The idea that Zionists control the media makes a big impact in the left (Why isn't there more attention on Palestinian suffering? It's the Zionists in the media.) And of course the talk about the "Zionist lobby" having way to much influence on government.
Quote from: Barrister on Today at 12:35:44 PMHuh. Campus protests have come to Alberta.

At U of Calgary police were called yesterday, protestors were told they could not set up an encampment, but were free to protest and could return the following day. Most protestors left voluntarily, but a few dozen had to be forcibly cleared.

Encampment set up at U of A today. Supposedly protestors were served with "eviction notices". I suppose we'll see overnight what happens.
Quote from: Valmy on Today at 12:36:32 PMYeah but if you just live the normal American lifestyle you will almost inevitably become overweight. You have to make a considerable effort to not be overweight unless you are just blessed by genetics.
I thought Colorado was the least fat so sort of surprised to see that DC, of all places, is. Must be all those standing desks in the federal bureaucracy.
But look at all those fatties in Saskatchewan!
Quote from: Barrister on Today at 12:05:32 PMOK, but my point wasn't "you need a base". I mean you do if you want Reform to grow as a viable political party.Totally agree but I'm not sure you even need that at the minute.
But if you want Jos's dream scenario of a total Conservative destruction you need Reform to do reasonably well across the country in order to draw votes from the Conservatives and allow Labour (or LibDems) to win a plurality even in what were once Conservative safe seats.
QuoteBut same difference. There are many people "of the right". If the UK Conservative Party is utterly destroyed, those people won't just go away. Most likely they take over the LibDems, or else they build up a new party.100%. I'm still baffled by why hardcore remainers/rejoiners haven't taken over the Lib Dems tbh.
