Liking this idea from George Monbiot on political funding.
"There’s a simple way of sorting all this out. ... The only money a party can receive is a standard fee (say £25) for membership. The government then matches that fee on a fixed multiple. For instance, if you have 100,000 members each paying £25, and the multiple is three, your annual budget is £10m. And that’s it: no other sources permitted. The parties would agree between themselves, with public input (perhaps a citizens’ assembly), on what the membership fee and multiple should be."

"The interesting thing is, individual MPs - you pointed out Hana[-Rawhiti Maipi-Clark], Tamatha Paul - have some really good stuff on their individual media, the parties are not really picking things up or popularising them."

Maybe political parties are dead weight in the digital age? Maybe choosing MMP as our proportional representation system was a mistake, because it gives Parliament's supreme power to parties?

Brirish ruling party blocks popular politician from running for Parliament because he is a challenge to their Dear Leader.
"Andy Burnham blocked from standing in Gorton and Denton"
Political parties are designed to limit choice and concentrate power.

Great to listen to the BBC supporting women CEOs. There is a proviso, none should believe any idealist hype, that there is going to be a natural accretion from the corporate abuse of LLMs to a more ethical and sustainable morality! Competition without mediated regulation drives the wealth and power of companies in competition to secure and protect antitrust monopolies to finance political corruption. Deregulated markets have and always will unless the many take responsibility. Will they hold the corporate mob and their cult to account by ending the reality of negative-sum party politics? #LLM #idealism #CorporateSophists #PartyPolitics #DeregulatedMarkets #NegativeSumEcocide https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct8c43

Labour’s economic plan will take years to deliver, Keir Starmer says
Surely economic plans for trillions of pounds should be long term?
There's a problem with a decision-making system that doesn't allow for both tactics and strategies.

With its future uncertain, should the NDP pursue power or principles?
“We want to win more seats. That is the goal of this party,” McPherson told the Star in an interview ahead of her campaign launch. “It should be the goal of every political party, because the more seats we win, the more power we have to effect change that helps Canadians.”
The fundamental problem with the party system.
You have to prioritize winning because otherwise you can't implement your policies, no matter how good.
But if you don't put policy first, you get leaders who either don't believe in the policies or lie about their beliefs.

The Democrats’ Disastrous Shutdown Strategy: A Shameful Weaponization of Human Suffering
The government shutdown of 2025 has been one of the most shameful episodes in modern American politics, not just because of the dysfunction it exposed, but because of how both parties — especially the Democrats — turned human suffering into a political strategy. For over 40 days, the federal government was paralyzed, workers went without pay, vital services were halted, and millions of Americans were left hanging in uncertainty. All for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. When the dust […] -

Conservatives urged to soften stance after Poilievre’s comments on ‘despicable’ RCMP face backlash
"Talking points sent to Conservative MPs who may face public or media questions about Poilievre’s controversial remarks were obtained by the Star by a confidential source.
They direct Poilievre’s caucus to essentially do damage control over Poilievre’s comments last week"
When MPs are "directed" and "instructed" by their leader on what to say, it make it very obvious that they don't represent voters in Parliament. They represent their leader to voters.
> The Opposition leader’s office instructed Conservative MPs on Monday to reinforce a more positive message about the nation’s police force.

New York Republicans have shut down the state’s Young Republicans chapter after a leaked group chat revealed racist and antisemitic messages from its leaders. State GOP chair Ed Cox cited both “gross mismanagement” and the offensive language as reasons for suspension, emphasizing such rhetoric has no place in the party. The move contrasts with some national GOP figures and comes as NY Republicans seek to attract moderates and independents. Former chapter chair Peter Giunta apologized but was fired from a legislative job. The scandal spotlights ongoing tensions over party image and extremism.

"Vague notions of passing the torch from old to young are now the cause du jour for centrist liberals. Little wonder: the youth narrative allows them to appear to be yielding to populist change-oriented energies while simultaneously eliding the value of economically progressive and democratic socialist political ideas. When disconnected from a popular pro-worker agenda, youth-based campaigns hijack more substantive demands for change and displace the role of economic populism in delivering that change. At best, they promote a flimsy generational affiliation in lieu of broad class consciousness. At worst, these campaigns are sometimes Trojan Horse threats against more genuinely progressive incumbents.
If a politician is no longer able to do their job effectively because of aging or a simple lack of will, whoever tries to replace them should at a minimum be able to distinguish themselves on more than just personal biography. They should be able to articulate what, exactly, they will be fighting for, and they should have an ambitious political platform and the organizing bona fides to back it up. Generational change is a false spring. Only a working-class movement and candidates who are committed to representing it offer real hope for a brighter day."

All you would have to do to make some men Atheists is just to tell them that the Lord belonged to the opposition Political Party. After that they could never see any good in Him.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
In dictatorships there can be no party divisions. For all men must think as they are told, speak as they are told, write as they are told, live — and die — as they are told. In those countries the Nation is not above the party, as with us; the party is above the Nation; the party is the Nation. Every common man and woman is forced to walk the straight and narrow path of the party line, not strictly speaking a party line, but rather a line drawn by the dictator himself, who owns the party.

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
The dictators cannot seem to realize that here in America our people can maintain two parties, and at the same time maintain an inviolate and indivisible Nation. The totalitarian mentality is too narrow to comprehend the greatness of a people who can be divided in party allegiance at election time, but remain united in devotion to their country and to the ideals of democracy at all times.

A man must be excessively stupid, as well as uncharitable, who believes that there is no virtue but on his own side, and that there are not men as honest as himself who may differ from him in political principles.

I beg to differ. The party is actually working, just not the way you or I may wish it to. But Party policy and legislative agenda are absolutely rock solid and responding to calls from the majority of its members/member submissions. Just because I sit left of the main policies pursued by a Labor govt doesn’t mean the Party is not working. And just because there is some common ground between my political position and the Greens platform, it does not mean that the voting Greens is a better electoral option than the Labor Party (from where I stand).

I was reluctant to comment when I read your toot. Prob because I do not want to clash over political affiliations. Today though, I thought I'd emphasise that IMO balance of power only works if those holding the balance of votes care more about their social licence (the wellbeing of the communities) than the power they hold. It's a big ask for a fledgling 'group' (Party?) to preference community well being over deals which increase the group (party) power in parliament. There may be idealists in there somewhere but they just don't last long in the 'pit of politics'. With 'independents' we get a little closer to community interests becauase there is no 'groupthink' or 'groupInterests' to take into account. Getting an independent to represent your community is possible anywhere, it just takes local effort from a mob of committed volunteers who care enough to put the work into it. There, said my piece. thank you for reading. I apologise if I've offended in any way.

Political parties are structured to limit democracy.
Example #853564:
‘Appalling cull’: Britain’s Labour bars another left-winger from election
The parliamentary system is particularly bad, given the leader's power, but Trump has shown that a presidential system can be equally bad.
> Critics accuse party of conducting a purge of left-wingers, as Faiza Shaheen deselected over social media posts.
