You'd think spite alone should be enough to motivate the rump PS to knock at the Left's door. I mean the PS party leadership effectively dissolved the party and elected a new one when the votes didn't came in like they thought they should.

I voted no and thought that was a simple decision. What I'm wondering is how the whole list is an up or down vote. Most of the people on the list seem decent but then they bring the Cleggy Bear.

That's right. It's a list of names proposed by UK DiEM (not Yanis in particular, for once), based on the fact that they are close to DiEM's principles.

Our list includes representatives from the Labour Party (6); the Liberal Democrats (2); the Scottish National Party (2); Plaid Cymru (1); the Greens (1); the Scottish greens (1); the National Health Action Party (1) and the Womens' Equality Party (1).

We're working on a similar thing in France.
