in the hands of the many: Warning of #Pasokification, not yearning for it

http://hands-of-the-many.blogspot.com/2015/03/warning-of-pasokification-not-yearning.html

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Warning of #Pasokification, not yearning for it. People stop me in the street and they ask me how I wrote Pasokification. Actually, they don't. Most people have no idea what I’m banging on about, and those that do usually tell me to shut up about it. Obviously, I refuse. And, because it mentions me, I thought I’d respond. Am I yearning for the Pasokification of Labour?

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Darlington Labour gives hope in hard times. A month later, at the end of the campaign - and also at the end of the coalition's first year in power - Labour gained five seats across three wards in Darlington. Thanks to the hard work of candidates, party members, and supporters - and the borough's Labour MP, Jenny Chapman, the Darlington Labour Party increased its majority o...

All That Is Solid ...: It's Going to be a Long Five Years

http://averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com/2015/05/its-going-to-be-long-five-years.html

All That Is Solid . Look what A Very Public Sociologist melted into. Monday, 11 May 2015. It's Going to be a Long Five Years. When they can rally irrationality and fear. All said, one thing doesn't change. As one swallow doesn't make a summer, so one Tory majority does not mean a reversal of their long-term decline. It's cold comfort, but even after pulling out all the stops throwing money at the election, scaremongering and promising uncosted policy goodies. They could only manage a wafer thin majority&...

All That Is Solid . Look what A Very Public Sociologist melted into. Saturday, 16 May 2015. Eerily like the front runners for Labour's leadership, none of this year's contestants in the Eurovision Song Contest. Particularly grab me. Even the genius inclusion of Australia. As a 60th anniversary one-off has not flattered my discerning, world-weary ear. There are still a few, however, that stand out from the mush for a variety of reasons. The first is Armenia's entry:. And has had hits in the Rodina. For tw...

All That Is Solid . Look what A Very Public Sociologist melted into. Tuesday, 19 May 2015. If David Miliband Had Won . The polls were with Labour. The feedback on the doorstep was very encouraging. It looked like all the naysayers and the problems of the previous five years had been put to bed. Until that. Be subject to a review after the election. This stoked up a row with the big trade unions, leading to an unseemly war of words in the pages of The Guardian. This, however, was overshadowed by two event...

All That Is Solid ...: Notes on the Labour Leadership Contest

http://averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com/2015/05/notes-on-labour-leadership-contest.html

All That Is Solid . Look what A Very Public Sociologist melted into. Monday, 18 May 2015. Notes on the Labour Leadership Contest. There's something to be said for political leadership contests. It's the one time politicians are honest about each other. It's also an occasion for an airing of views, of setting one's stall out in public about the strategies and policies that are likely to capture the imagination, and get party and country out of the holes they're in. And all are vying for its mantle. Though...
