Voting Anti-War in the UK
In an OpEd piece in todays Guardian, Tariq Ali argues for tactical voting along an any-party anti-war line. That means Liberal Democrats, Scottish Nationalists and Plaid Cymru, and in the few constituencies where votes for a Green/Respect candidate won't simply ensure re-election of a New Labor war-monger, even Green/Respect .
Tariq asks "So why not treat this election as special and take the politics of the broad anti-war front to the electoral arena? If the result is a hung parliament or a tiny Blair majority, it will be seen as a victory for our side."
Now is a good time for US Dems to avoid uber-poxy Tony Blair and next-up Gordon Brown, and for Karl to lay on a London Calling tour for George and Dick. If they lose the UK, the multi-lateral facade is gone and the invasion of Iran is made less likely.
