ParticipantJournalist Chris Deerin in Herald Scotland calls for a new anti-Brexit interventionist neoliberal party to emulate Macron
December 13, 2017 at 7:53 am #130947ALB
KeymasterThere's nothing new in this idea. A candidate calling for this stood against us in Battersea in the general election:http://www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/news/15301500.The_new_Macron__Independent_hopeful_for_Battersea_calls_for_new_centrist_party/He got 1234 votes (2.2%) and lost his deposit, though he did rather better than us. But who the fuck is Chris Deerin? Sounds like some jumped-up journalist convinced of his own self-omportance. Anyway, unlike Deerin, Coghlan is putting his money (wherever it comes from) where his mouth is:https://www.ft.com/content/ec334a98-af55-11e7-aab9-abaa44b1e130Interesting (or not) act in sideshow of conventional politics, I suppose, since we have to keep up with these things on the basis of know your enemy.

ParticipantI'd never heard of Chris deerin either. Doubtless these individuals (Cameron, Blair etc.) make up some successful members of "the establishment" and part of the ruling ideas but just how popular or unpopular they are these days I find it hard to estimate. Are their ideas coherant? Are the lib dems low ratings reflective of how unpopular neoliberalism is?
