My op ed on the future of Labor: smh.com.au/national/labor-st…
Labor, stop chasing the blue-collar regional mirage, your future is in the cities

Labor, stop chasing the blue-collar regional mirage, your future is in the cities

The ALP has a choice: spend years fruitlessly chasing the regional working class or position itself for the future through a city-led strategy.

Also, I am treating Oasis 2025 as a clear vindication of the Cool Britannia Mark II hypothesis

AFL legend’s ‘bizarre’ role in getting Oasis back together

British rock stars Liam and Noel Gallagher are rekindling after 15 years, and they may have an AFL legend to thank for it.

On the other, if England does win it will definitely boost my ‘Cool Britannia mark II’ narrative

So on the one hand, Euros is the Commonwealth Games of soccer - exclude the best team in the world so that someone else can win

Labour is less popular in the Red Wall than in 2019 when Jeremy Corbyn was leader, losing 17,000 votes overall Despite winning almost all of these seats, there's been little change in their overall support

Great summary of how we got here from the bard of our times @hansvan333 afr.com/world/europe/why-ang…
Why angry Britain will this week finally dump the Tories

Why angry Britain will this week finally dump the Tories

Five PMs, five elections and a three-ring circus: over 14 years, the Conservative government sowed the seeds of its own downfall – and leaves a mixed legacy.

An irrepressible outbreak of national optimism is about to arrive in Britain. Cool Britannia mark II - you heard it here first

Love Me Tender also got a mention on p. 10 of the recent Senate Enquiry into Consulting parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo…

Three senators have exposed Canberra's 'vicious' consultant problem. But don't expect change...

Senators from across the political spectrum have agreed the public service is over-reliant on consultants, but they are not in perfect agreement on the way forward.

Not everything in here moved - but many of the most remarkable results are on this list
Daniel McNamara (@dpmcna) profile pictureDaniel McNamara@dpmcna27 Dec 2019
Replying to @dpmcna
Chisholm, Higgins, Kooyong, Deakin, La Trobe, Casey, Goldstein, Menzies, Flinders, Reid, Banks, Wentworth, Lindsay, Bennelong, North Sydney, Brisbane, Ryan, Boothby, Sturt, Swan, Stirling. Maybe Leichhardt for a progressive regional seat.
The political realignment sweeping western democracies has now well and truly arrived in Australia - big cities are now dominated by progressive parties, including affluent areas that were traditionally conservative. This is how Labor forms government in 2022.

NEW: for this week’s column I dug into the curious case of British attitudes to immigration Before the EU ref, concern about immigration tracked levels of arrivals. Since then, immigration has kept rising but concerns have evaporated What’s going on? ft.com/content/f2d72f42-af5f…

How Macron did it - running up the score in the big cities and among tertiary educated voters. Interestingly, he also did better among older people - I guess this is to do with Le Pen not coming from a mainstream conservative party. theguardian.com/world/2022/a…
France divided: what does fractured vote mean for Macron’s second term?

France divided: what does fractured vote mean for Macron’s second term?

Le Pen won swathes of the north and Mediterranean south, but France’s biggest divides are generational and social
