Who? which party is going to dispel these feelings?

Margaret , I'm thinking its maybe a generational thing , I think most folks over 50 look at present day Labour leadership and say to themselves "who are these people, how the heck did they get to lead the Labour party " Don't think one of them has what could be described as "working class roots" , no way can I imagine Blair/Brown/Harman/Mandleson addressing a TUC meeting in the 60s .
