Re: Election

It would be really hard to choose a Labour MP who has the skill to lead this very dysfunctional political party.
Part of their problem is that they have lost touch with the traditional Labour voter....and some of the blame for this has to be laid at the door of Tony Blair...he set the standard for the current class of 'champagne socialists' those with money and influence.

Today, MP's almost see themselves as celebrities rather than jobbing politicians....in parliament to REPRESENT those who elected them.

I am sick of seeing the likes of Rylance, Cumberbatch, Hugh Grant, preaching and pontificating for Labour....and not forgetting silly Lily Allen.....these are not the people that the Labour Party was set up to protect.
They have more money in a year than most of us will earn in our lifetimes....and I don't see any of them giving it to support homeless or disadvantaged.
Their pontificating is more a form of virtue signalling....letting the world think they care about those on the breadline.....but just talking about it doesn't get it done.

The party needs to rid itself of the Marxists and communists before it can hope to regain support.
