Re: Labour Party

It is not an argument....just a discussion.....and it wouldn't be a argument we could have had, but a discussion we could have had.

Maybe I am moderate after all, as I am happy to listen to your...

Re: Labour Party

Less that is because being a ' moderate' is very subjective.
The term means different things to different people......it is very elastic, but not quite 'a one size fits all'.

Re: Labour Party

I am one of those older, racist, ill educated voters.(or that is how we are portrayed)
Mine was not a protest vote. It was a vote to leave the bloated money pit that is the EU.......and we still...

Re: Labour Party

There are moderates in all parties Less, but the really right wing and left wing of any party are not usually what the electorate choose to follow.
The Labour Party was irreparably damaged by Tony...

Re: Labour Party

Cashy, I think that this will lead to the Labour party dying a death.
I think there is little chance that those who have been against him as a leader falling into line...and would you trust them if...

Re: Labour Party

I think the electorate were lied to and bamboozled. I don't really think it was down to being ill educated.....trusting and gullible.....maybe.
The thing about being bamboozled is that you might...

Tony Blair was not labour....He was a Tory masquerading as Labour.....the shameful thing is that lots of people believed him......and by the time they had sussed him out he damaged this country...

Re: Labour Party

One of his sound bites was 'Education, Education, Education'.

Re: Labour Party

Yes, you are right son.
The truth is they(the political parties) really do not want proportional representation.
It is not in their interests to have the electorate exercise democratic...

Re: Labour Party

like Cashy, i think that the Labour party as it stands is finished. I think it has become too hard left.
I don't like what Tony Blair did to the Labour party, but what is happening right now is at...

Re: Labour Party

No Russell, the contender for the leadership is a welshman named Owen Smith.

Re: Labour Party

Re: Labour Party

Less, my point was he has shown himself not to be a man of principle or honour.
He has disregarded (and disrespected) those members of the electorate who voted for him.
That in itself is a huge...
