Reply to: the things lefties say

[NickFitz]

why do you feel the need to use labels at all?

Although I do feel the need to point out that people who are incapable of thinking for themselves have to rely on labels applied by others, so they know what to think.

They are, IMHO, more to be pitied than censured - although somebody will probably tell them that that should be labelled as a socialist attitude, even though it's for their benefit (and isn't actually socialist).

Things Lefties say

New lie?

In the absence of proper lefites, I'll have to do. Like Tony Benn (and everyone I know on the left), I'm completetly against the Lisbon treaty. It's anti-democratic and will shift power from democratically elected representatives (who imperfect as they are are at least accountable through elections) to an undemocratic central body. Benn espouses the left libertarian argument here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/m.../29/do2903.xml

You will find that many on the left are internationalists, but support for the EU doesn not necessarily follow. I don't believe in the nation state but prefer to live in a democratic nation state than an undemocratic supranation.

EU Lisbon treaty: "Irish didn't know what they were voting for. They just voted no to give their government a kicking. That shouldn't stop the treaty going ahead. UK shouldn't be given a vote, likewise Brits wouldn't understand what they're voting for either. Should be left to politicians. Brits voted for all this in the 1970s anyway so they shouldn't complain. The people who complain are those who are brainwashed by the Daily Mail".

Right wing response: how lovely to see the left's belief in democracy and respect for the people. Clearly no one is brainwashed by the guardian or the beeb, ever. Only clever people get their info from there, clearly. Why not cancel all future elections now, the people are obviously too stupid not to vote for the liberal-leftie marxists, so why let them.
