An epic comment of shit stirring hatred from the leader of the Conservative party - proving yet again she is not fit for office. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch defended Israel's right to "control their borders" and said it was "significant" there were Labour MPs other countries did not want to let in. #conservative

I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on?

“After many years of covering #election campaigns in Canada, USA and Europe, the #Conservative Party of Canada is the most outwardly aggressive and uncivilized that I’ve witnessed. It’s on par with Viktor Orbán in Hungary and the Republican Party...” #CanPoli

“This didn’t just pop up this year in response to Trump and the tariffs. There is a fairly profound divide within the #Conservative movement.. …When things are going well, you don’t have people like [Jason] Kenney and [James] Moore coming out. So if this is about the fracturing starting to come, I feel bad for [#PiPiLeQ]; I don’t think there’s a way to stop it.”

— Lisa Young, a political science professor at the University of Calgary

#Conservative Candidate Used a Secret #Signal Group Chat With #FreedomConvoy Leaders, #RightWingMedia and #FarRightInfluencers

#AndrewLawton was a member of the "#clandestine" group chat used to coordinate #convoy messaging on social media

Covid and the Ukraine War was the excuse the #Conservative used for years

Will #Labour use the #TrumpTariffs in much the same way?

What a review of Luis Ibarra’s candidate biography tells me is that he’d be helpful in rebuilding a sensible and *sane* #Conservative Party — which is not, regrettably for #CanPoli, going to happen unless and *until* #PiPiLeQ gets the drubbing he so richly deserves in #Elxn45. #TorontoCentre

On today's #BBCLauraK, Alex Burghart, the Shadow Duchy of Lancaster, talked about how #Badenoch had changed the #Conservative Party after saying the country needed a '#Rwanda' policy to stop immigration

#Maine: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rules

by Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025

"As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new #ExecutiveOrder from President Donald #Trump is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access.

"The order signed Wednesday would require proof of #USCitizenship to register for #FederalElections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later.

"Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal.

"'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' #AlexTitcomb, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a #Conservative #PAC] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year.

"Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating.

"'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what #VoterSuppression is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'

"Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national #VotingRights organizations."

The only reason to use the term "Neo-Liberal" is because you want to blame Bill Clinton for all the nasty shit Right Wing Radicals have done since Reagan came to power in 1981.

It's bullshit. Right Wing Wackos fucked us over. So let's lay the blame where it belongs.
