The working class is the overwhelming majority of the population, but any capitalist solution is no solution at all. The only real hope for the future is to build a mass communist party, which can lead the workers to establish a workers’ government that can democratically plan the economy, meet human needs, and allow each of us to reach our potential. Workers and youth who are looking for a real anti-establishment alternative must help build that party. https://lnkd.in/dvUX7B8P

The UK's General Election has been scheduled for July 4th this year. It seems almost inevitable that Keir Starmer's Labour Party will win the election, likely by a significant majority. Louis Gilmore criticises the current UK political landscape, highlighting the Conservative Party's failures under Rishi Sunak and Labour's hesitancy under Starmer. He notes Labour's strong polling yet their vague policy pledges and reluctance to adopt a bolder strategy. Gilmore argues that Labour should capitalise on Conservative disarray by committing to more concrete and radical policies, particularly addressing Brexit and foreign policy issues, to resonate with voters seeking assertive leadership. #labour #keirstarmer #ge2024 #unitedkingdom https://lnkd.in/dc3gtzFN

By way of update, I’ve just commented elsewhere (in response to yet another go at me about #Brexit!)….which alerted me to make clear - I’m not happy at voter turnout in UK #elections 🇬🇧 - are you?! We’re back to 2001 numbers in terms of the overall electorate that bothered to #vote in 2024! FPTP, usually, does at least allow for a clear winner…but does it necessarily represent #democracy? As it is the system we currently have, so I can respect the outcome. But I would urge people to think about this… At the Brexit Referendum turnout was 72% 2017 & 2019 General elections it was 67% Yesterday it was 60% It should be a sobering lesson that millions of people have been reluctant to participate in this election at all. As it is a mirror of the turnout in 2001, The Conservative Party should be ashamed at the #disengagement as the only real conclusion that can be drawn is that under the current system, if the right/right of centre of British 🇬🇧 #Politics unites, they will tend to win elections in this country. There appears to be a ceiling as to the overall support for The Labour Party based on total turnout (and is maybe why there is so much talk of them lowering the voting age to 16?). Labour should celebrate and then Keir Starmer, it will be vital to engage with all to ensure continued success (or will you simply rely on Right Wing infighting and their failure?). His rhetoric is “Country first, party second”! We can only hope. To quote a former political analyst, Tony King, from a yesteryear election in 2001 at which Labour won a strong majority on a turnout of only 60%: “There are certainly absolutely no signs in the voting figures out tonight that this is a goverment that has successfully re-connected the people with politics” In a world as unsettled, polarised, and at odds, that’s the most disappointing aspect don’t you think? 🤔 🤷🏻♂️✌️🕊️ #media #socialmedia

To #oppose is very different from having to #lead. In #business, a 30-60-90 day plan is a set of #objectives for new employees to achieve in their first 30, 60, and 90 days on the job. The plan is meant to smooth the #transition into a new role, give #direction to a confusing time, and allow the employees and managers to set #expectations and monitor progress. To Keir Starmer and The Labour Party go the ultimate spoils as winners of the UK 🇬🇧 2024 General Election in terms of the number of seats they will have in the House of Commons, and they will form the next #Government. “Change begins now” says Sir Keir. Only time will tell if the size of the Labour majority will have an impact. By that, I feel we are still to fully understand the what and the how they will actually undertake to fulfil their ambitions. I, therefore, urge Sir Keir to be #transparent in that for all our sakes. They’re not the only winners overnight. The Liberal Democrats and Ed Davey targeted the South & South West in their #campaign, finally realising that although they believe in Proportional Representation (PR), the current First Past The Post #voting system requires a different strategy to dislodge the traditional 2-party system. Reform UK, with Nigel Farage becoming an MP at the 8th attempt, secured a considerable proportion of those that voted but they haven’t won the number of seats that a PR system would have brought. The size of their vote shows that, for now, there is a strength of feeling on the Right of the country, certainly at “grassroots” level, that a more right-wing agenda is the only thing likely to currently satisfy what has been the traditional Tory vote. The battle for the Right of UK politics will be intriguing considering that Rishi Sunak or more likely his successor, as Mr Sunak is expected to resign not only as Prime Minister but also as leader of The Conservative Party today, will begin. How the remaining Tory MP’s will cope, as undoubtedly they are more centrist than the “grassroots”, will be intriguing in itself. Will they be able to withstand the pressure to move further right? As Daniel Finkelstein writes in The Times: “The Conservative Party vacated the centre ground where elections are always, always won. Labour won because the Tories lost. It’s why Reform did well too. They both did well because whatever kind of Tory you are, it became impossible to maintain that the party deserved another period in office. This election result reverses the tradition of a more united right defeating a divided left”. My last comment on this election is to say this to all involved in #politics in this country: Take note of the numbers who haven’t voted. Turnout at this election indicates that for a significant number they simply could not bring themselves to vote at all. ✌️🕊️🇬🇧 #reflection #reaction #outcome #media #socialmedia

📣 EMPOWERED FOR CHANGE – BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER - UK ELECTION ANNOUNCED As I reflect on last week's Black Inclusion Week and its theme of "Empowered for Change—Building a Better Future Together," I find myself thinking about how timely the announcement of the upcoming general election this July is. This news, as reported by The Guardian, is for me, a reminder of our collective ability to shape our future through informed and thoughtful participation. The power of our votes in this election goes beyond political preference; in my view, it's about aligning our actions with the values of inclusion, respect, and empowerment that were highlighted last week. It’s about choosing leaders who will help us build that better future together. A future that is better for everyone. As we all consider if and how we will vote - the question I will ask myself and I invite you to too is…. 📣 How can your vote contribute to building a better future? 📣 My hope is that we will all vote in a way that continues to push for progress and keeps us moving forward together. The article is here - https://lnkd.in/eT3mYsdm #EmpoweredForChange #GeneralElection #InclusiveLeadership #VoteForImpact

A New Chapter in the Democratic Race: Harris Vows to 'Earn and Win' The Democratic presidential race has taken a significant turn as Vice President Kamala Harris formally announced her candidacy for the 2024 nomination, following President Biden's decision to not seek re-election. In her announcement, Harris emphasized a theme of unity and progress, stating that she is "ready to lead our country into a brighter future." She pledged to "earn and win" the nomination, highlighting her experience as Vice President and her commitment to fighting for the American people. Harris's entry into the race comes at a time of significant political and economic uncertainty. While she enjoys a strong base of support within the Democratic party, she will face a competitive field of potential challengers. Some prominent names mentioned as possible contenders include Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Governor Gavin Newsom. The race for the Democratic nomination is likely to be a long and arduous one, with candidates vying for the support of voters across the country. Key issues will include the economy, healthcare, climate change, and social justice. Harris's announcement has already sparked intense discussion and debate. Some commentators have praised her experience and leadership, while others have raised concerns about her ability to win a general election. The coming months will be crucial in shaping the race for the Democratic nomination. Voters will be closely watching the candidates' campaigns, their positions on key issues, and their ability to connect with voters. This is a critical moment in American politics, and the outcome of the Democratic nomination race will have a profound impact on the future of the country. #2024Election #DemocraticPrimary #KamalaHarris #PresidentBiden #Politics #Election2024

AGEISM U.S. Leadership For one, the BBC (an outlet I respected years ago for veracity in journalism) should focus on bringing back that journalistic integrity. They have wandered into sensational and unsubstantiated reporting for many years. Then again — there was a time the Sun never set on the British Empire — today they are a shadow of what they once were. It appears they have been dominated by extreme-liberal and secular policies bringing to life the quote from Abraham Lincoln: "At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." — In other words, an enemy will not overtake us, rather we are the threat to destroy ourselves from within. So, ignoring the many issues England has — their BBC asks the question: Is President Biden too old and should he retire? What is the roadmap if President Biden were to retire? America is less than a year away from electing a new-President. #elections #governance #ageism #President #america #retire https://lnkd.in/eG5vUkMu

Ageism is real and the controversy about the age of presidents and presidential candidates is just the tip of the iceberg (ask any job candidate who is older than the 'expected' age). In our new blog post, we analyze the data on longevity and the age of past US presidents, and question the need for continual discussion on the age of President Biden and Presidential Candidate Trump. In short, our analysis tells us that age should not be a factor to judge either of them (or any other candidate for a job, for that matter), especially since the idea of 'old' is dynamic. The relationship between age (of office, or or retirement) and longevity is a discussion that policy makers also need to have since the retirement age for jobs has mostly remained constant from a time when on an average human beings lived far fewer years. To know more, please read our article on our blog... https://lnkd.in/gT5qHEsp #joebiden #donaldtrump #USpresidents #POTUS #ageism #USelections
