It probably won't come to anything but at least it lets us blow of a bit steam
Have a wank if that's what you're after. It's more useful than this.

Great, let's all vote for something promoted by a tory twat - that'll help.

oof
He's a Libertarian twat, apparently.

Damning with faint praise, but I sort of see your point there. At least he's not Ian Brady, or Blair, or Myra Hindley, or Thatcher.
Maybe the criterion is least crazy and evil leader, in which case Major is possibly in with a chance, although he did apparently boink Edwina Currie.

Even worse to be quite frank.
Ian Brady , Blair, Thatcher...now there's a poll that would give Ladbrokes nightmares

Don't you realise that if democracy could be undermined so easily, and Gordon Brown was ousted people would loose faith in the system and we would be living in a society of decentralised autonomous communes based on anarchist communist ideals
So, we sign it, it works... who the fuck do you think will replace him?!
Christ. So many muppets out there. Tory cunt Cameron or Blair-lite Milliband for a while? Get a grip. We have no choice, and god knows it could be worse than Brown.

Brown express's his views on epetitions
>20,000 now, slowed to a crawl in the half hourly update (people have sort of worked out the update patten) that would have put it on the top five.

Agreed. There's little that's worse than a Libertarian Tory Twat.

From The Guardian yesterday :The petition was posted by Dr Kalvis Jansons, an academic mathematician, who describes himself as a disillusioned "traditional Labour supporter". The "final straw", which persuaded him to post the petition, was the prime minister's initial reluctance to apologise for the emails by his former special adviser Damian McBride smearing the Tories.
Jansons, from Hitchin, Herts, who has taught at University College London, deliberately worded the petition in simple and brief terms to avoid it being blocked by No 10. In a message on the site, he wrote: "There are many reasons why we might want Brown to resign, but rather than having lots of narrow petitions on this topic (most of which have been rejected), I wanted one for all of us."
Jansons told the Press Association: "I wanted a simple, clear, generalised petition which would cover all the bases and comply with their rules. I wanted it to be something that could unite the country."
Oh and The Register was first in on the Championing.

interesting stuff, weakened imo by a few ideological digs at the left tho

If you are on about the digs at liberal-leaning journalists, I disagree. That criticism is (and was, in the case of Bright's documentary) spot on, and its not as if we have a left-wing government to "protect" anyway.
The press shouldn't protect any government of any hue. But then I've been particularly disappointed by the BBC's brown-nosing.
When you see the 'left' marching beneath banners showing mass murderers like Stalin and Mao on Mayday in 2009 then idological digs at the left are justified IMO.
Back to the topic I've just had a quick skim read through the article and it doesn't exactly paint a happy picture of life inside NL.
Even if I hadn't made up my mind who to vote for this article would help me change it away from NL. The fact that there was a feeling in the party that Prescott would be more likely to be elected to lead the party than Brown says reams about his unsuitability for high office.
'petulant teenager' sums it up for me.
Time for NL to go and the quicker the better.

The left may be fucked but lets be clear you're talking about two hundred or so Turkish exiles who are not really inolved in British politics anyway.
Agree with you about the unrepresentative Turkish exiles who make up the Stalinist contingent.
However, remove them and you have a much smaller and even more uunrepreentative turnout.
The point is walking round with a giant Hitler banner would be offensive whydoesn't the same apply to images of Stalin.
