I would be intrigued to know if there is any working class left in England .... and if it has shrunk, as I suspect it has, where does (or from reading the English papers and reading thro some of the debates on Accyweb "did" might be better than "does") Labour's support come from? Over here the NDP (our version of Labour) is strongly supported by the unions in terms of cash and troops on the ground. It surprises me that, in England, a middle of the road party has not taken the center with policies that reflect the new realities ... a party that mixes a degree of fiscal responsibility with a commitment to social programs. I realize it is difficult to form and promote a new party, but surely it would be better than either Labour or the Tories.
