The CPGB won 6 local elections in Britain last night?

Question

The Communist Party of Great Britain stole 4 labour strong holds, and 2 tory seats in elections last night..... do YOU think this a serious threat, this growing love of communism in our country?

They are VERY anti-monarchy

Answer 1

That'll be hard ,considering the CPGB dissolved over 10 years ago..they no longer stand in any elections, yet alone ones that happen on a sunday..

Sources? Nope, i didnt think so

Answer 2

no. its is the nature of democracy that nearly all political views points are allowed to be present. ironically this is diametrically opposite to the nature of communism. however, in GB there is only really a 2 party system purely because of the broad church of policies that need to be covered to run a country.
communism, BNP, greens etc are very singular and narrow in there main policy issues and are attractive to those ppl who have very strong narrow view points about whatthey would like to see done in the political spectrum. eg - the green party against oil exploration appeals to those ppl who have a keen interest in conservation and vote for a candidate as a way of making their voice heard.
from the time of oswold mosley to the present the country has become much richer and more stable, as has the world in general. this has allowed ppl to concentrate on gaining weath and a better standard of living. these factors result in society becoming less and less concerned with the minor issues of politics such as cash for questions or sleeze in democratic politics. for the vast majority of the population they will vote the same all their lives.
during the 70's and the strike period of the labour government then in power ppl were affected on a personal level by the inactions of the government and actions by the unions brought down the governement leadin gto the thatcher era.
for communism to return as a political force to be reckoned with by the other major political parties would require extreme social distruption and discontent. ppl look for extreme change when their social and financial lives are immediately threated by government policy. if u survey the economic and political indicators of countries that affect british interests u will see that they r, mostly, strong.
a good example of potential change in the making would be the iraq war and the huge demonstration that took place in london to protest atthe war. yet tony blair and the labour government still won the following general election. why? because ppl perfer the status quo when economic times are good.
to my mind, communism as the past defines it is no longer viable in a multi-communication media world where ppl are aware of democracy in other countries. there are only a few truely communist countries left, ie. cuba and not dictorships such as tukmenistan.
there will always be side faction political parties within any political society including democracy but they r just that.

Blowfelt a.k.a. Timmay,

I am sorry but your 473 cats, 17 badgers, 200 dogs and your unfeasibly large collection of earwigs and crustaceans are not allowed to vote, in your newly designated electoral wards.

So unfortunately Ms Timmy the Trotskite rat catcher of Barnsley and her army of feral pests will not be taking their seats at the house of commons and will have to return your you recently condemned residence

Don't take it too badly though as there will be some very nice people with a nice white jacket just your size, well the sleeves may be a bit long and its a bit tight when its done up but they are very nice and they will give you lots of happy pills....

Long live the revolution..................you nutter

Answer 4

exciting - I stored listening to from Republican buddies that Romney had surely gained the favored vote this election, yet in certainty, it is not genuine. possibly, they have been listening to the likes of Dick Morris. Obama did win the favored. The very close 2000 election, Gore gained the favored vote against Bush yet lost the election because of the electoral vote. specific, it is greater of the comparable style of delusional Republican social gathering think of...time for a certainty verify. certainly, the myth of "midsection-precise u . s ." looks greater like a center-left u . s . in accordance to commonly used votes.

Answer 5

Not sure that there were elections on a Sunday but I do like your avatar - Timmay!! He is my favourite character on South Park.

I disagree with your assumption that there exists any love for communism in the UK - let alone that any pre-existing love is growing.

Yeah - good innit?????

Wait for the Revolution it IS coming.
