@Black_Flag @Geri well, true. Still, I think what we've seen so far gives a lot to be hopeful about. This wasn't a normal, quiet by-election; the Farage party (and to a lesser extent Labour) poured a lot of resources and effort into it only to come very distant. We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, but I do think this is indicative of a broader shift in people's mindsets
I am seeing a lot of people expressing hopeful thoughts today but I am afraid I am far too realistic to swallow it. "Power concedes nothing without a demand." To the powerful The Greens are just one more upstart to be squashed. And you must remember that this was a Labour constituency anyway. Green was a safe protest vote.

@ReggieHere It deploys rapidly, here in NL as well.
After the USA and UK in 1980, NL was the next beachhead for neolib politics and economy in 1982 aka fuck the people.
@Black_Flag @GeriLet's hope a progressive wave of politics can roll back neoliberalism across Europe.
Trump is an unwitting accomplice in this currently.

I really think that the Dutch politicians at the time thought: "We don't exactly know what it extends to, but if USA and UK do it, it is probably good (for the rich and powerful)". -

Building consensus between countries is important in establishing new ways of working, and that's no less true for the progressives seeking to reverse neoliberalism than it was for those who imposed it in the first place.

@JimmyB they are scrabbling around for something to say!

@ReggieHere Yeah, but I wasn't being truly serious. I suspect politicians to think and act like adolescents, thinking they are smart and know it all, but they ain't seen nothing yet. I am highly cynical towards politicians.

@Geri Just dropping this here - (a headline generator)

@Geri Yes its funny here but even as we speak the media moguls are despatching the teams of hitmen to find stories about anyone and anything "green". They will now be Corbyned into unvoteability as a threat to the status quo. Probably using exactly the same tactics.
@Black_Flag @Geri true and I hope they learn from Corbyn’s situation, be far less apologetic and stand their ground.
