I read some posts from that Pete North guy and I agree with his criticism of Rupert Lowe and how he is not even close to being in the ballpark of what's needed to win. However he is up for it and that goes a long way.

@augustus most of it really is just 'showing up'.

@lain show up, wear a suit, that's half the battle right there

@augustus for a while, to my eternal shame, i was indeed involved in party politics, and all the 'good' people thought they were too cerebral to actually be a candidate and win the votes, preferring to discuss the finer details of the 'platform'. of course, the opportunist narcissists had no problems with it at all, got elected and promptly stopped caring about what the retards who build the base were doing.

@lain I will not get excited until Dominic Cummings gets behind Rupert and starts running the outfit

@augustus the lord of darkness will win in the end...

anyway... foundations of shakespeare... buy it now...

@lain that's the frustrating thing, Blair is actually pretty damn good at politics. AA is completely right about him having the best top trump stats. 20/20 in Machiavellianism. his natural resistance to ideology is shared by AA and me. the marks who let their brains get taken over by it are always a problem, including on our side.
