Personal responsibility? I did a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat and they very clearly state that people with existing mental heath issues should not join. I definitely went a bit loopy with the silence etc. But I dunno, we’re adults and we should be capable of taking informed risks.

That said, more positive campaigning (backed with firm and confident criticism) and community-level work, we could see Soc Dems continue to grow as the clear beneficiaries of Connolly election.

I know we are so far away from the next GE, but I’ve been really struggling to see where the left can pull seats from at the constituency level… Like, I really can’t see FFG’s level of support dropping from where it is. For us to be competitive we’d need to start undermining the ind vote… Unlikely!

Honestly, this is why the 2010s discourse of grievance on the left (liberal left tbf) was so damaging. Give people the benefit of the doubt, present things in a manner that appeals to people's empathy and they'll respond well most of the time. I learnt this lesson years ago and it has paid dividends
