Right, listen up! This is not about party mergers or coalitions. The aim here is to make June the end of May so we can avert Brexit, or at least hard Brexit.
The name of the game towards that aim is the prisoner's dilemma. It's game theory. More about it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NdITTDl5coE
I want to be clear. I'm not suggesting party mergers or coalitions. Just the mathematically sensible application of game theory to defeat May and hard Brexit...
To make June the end of May, we figure out which progressive candidates have a chance & we choose not to oppose them. We support them.
No mergers.
No coalitions.
The target outcome is a minority government, which would need to compromise & play nice to achieve anything at all.
Are you going to tell me minority govts can't/won't work? I'm Canadian; we think they're pretty normal. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_governments_in_Canada
If any of the good MPs in bad parties are deselected, we stand aside. We support them as independents or make room for them in our parties.
And, naturally, we do everything we possibly can to make sure Prime Dictator May herself is unseated.
If you're Canadian, what's it got to do with you?
ReplyDeleteWhat? You mean beside the fact that I live, work, pay taxes, own a home in, and VOTE in the UK?
