Conversation

X : You're in favour of a Norway option? Me : Yes, EEA docked to EFTA is a reasonable compromise. X : What do you think of a party that splits from Labour / Conservative and stands on that position? Me : Not much. I'm still supporting Corbyn. The issues are bigger than brexit.

... you can't avoid the underlying issues. Revoke article 50, leave under WTO or go an EEA / docked to EFTA route without tackling them? If you think you can, then after 2+ years you still don't understand what Brexit was about. X : Immigration. Me : That's truly clueless.

X : How about Labour putting forward a no confidence vote in Government? Me : Why? Odds are against it. Ditto the agreement. X : Won't that move the conversation forward? Me : Not at all. Only reason for it now would be to push a 2nd referendum agenda in Labour.

X : But that's what Labour should do. Me : Only if Labour wants to lose ground to the Conservatives. I think Corbyn is doing fine and playing the smart game which is what we need him to do. X : Blair said ... Me : ... hold on whilst I find the button to block you.

The core of all the X debates are derived from real conversations with many people. They are not one person but many, often over days or weeks or months which I then thread into a discussion with a mythical X that represents no-one and everyone.

It has become a bit of a habit. I scribble notes and later weave these into other discussions to come up with the overall discussion. But of course, the final text can't help but be influenced by my own perspective and bias. I wouldn't write it if it didn't interest me.

The purpose of weaving real discussions together is to give it a bit more of an authentic voice. It sounds like I'm now failing on this, or maybe you have a bias yourself?
