Re: Renewing the Left in Europe? Let's debate (4.00 / 2)

Yes, SVP (the Swiss far right) is very good at using media to convey emotional messages. Their latest was something like: The disabled are MIS-USING government funding!! And sure enough, the people voted a reduction in funding <geez> And the Left couldn't even counter that cruelty...

Re: Renewing the Left in Europe? Let's debate (none / 1)

I am not even talking about the media, it is also on a one-to-one level - the disscusions are different.

And I find lately the left has mostly become the party who is against something, the no-sayers. Why did they not bring up an alternative solution for the IV. The IV does have problems, it is to rigid and I think there could be more flexible solutions. But I have heard nothing really constructive from the left either on how to solve and improve the IV insurance.

Good points...so it is poorly communicating to individuals, and has no clear positive message that people can relate to.
