In the end caution and backstabbing prevailed over airing feelings in the open and nothing came out of it. My money is on this as the outcome this time round again.<br />Paradoxically I agree with Jackart. The Socialist left has now had fifteen years of delusions and disappointments to learn that both Labour and the Libdems will never represent us. We need to find the resolve to vote for alternative parties. Until then there's no use in complaining. Labour or the Liberals are not in it for you.socialist samhttp://socialistparty.org.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-11095080418917521792010-12-17T23:12:32.298+00:002010-12-17T23:12:32.298+00:00Remind me, why should ANYONE, even a left-winger, ...<i>Remind me, why should ANYONE, even a left-winger, vote Labour ever again?</i><br /><br />In which case tory jackart, why get so het up?

The country was an ungovernable bankrupt mess.<br /><br />Likewise, Labour in office from 1997 were savagely authoritarian, fiscally inept and catrastrophically incompetent, destroying everything they touched. The bloated civil service takes 25,000 people to organise Defence procurement, something Israel manages with... 300. They introduced a new law a day, and left the country with historic levels of peace-time debt and a stratospheric deficit.<br /><br />Remind me, why should ANYONE, even a left-winger, vote Labour ever again?Jackarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477130724830922566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17101458.post-8248150483384383872010-12-17T10:33:03.231+00:002010-12-17T10:33:03.231+00:00I find myself nodding in agreement with this.

The argument that the more leftist LibDems should do one and join Labour is a fairly flimsy one, especially if coming from those like myself who put up with the most gut-wrenching decisions of the Blair administration.<br /><br />A more legitimate question though is if anybody on the LibDem left will stand a chance in 4 years' time. It may be too late. The party is in serious danger of ending up with a handful of MPs only. This may prompt jumping ship before it sinks.Stan Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877204795536395407noreply@blogger.com
