As 4th or 5th party no one much listens to you anyway, so it's not like you have to be in the ball.<br /><br />Clearly it's an affront to democracy that there are Lords/Baronesses in the cabinet. I'm not sure how they can ask questions in the Commons. I'm not sure how the Scottish shadow is going to hold Muddle to account from his seat in Holyrood, and the Councillors will have equally difficult a task from their city halls. <br /><br />As for the two MPs rejected at the election by the public and yet in the shadow cabinet...well, I'm lost. <br /><br />But remember Labour used to have some ordinary members of the public in its shadow cabinet in Scotland, so it's not a new idea. To use people so recently thrown out of parliament is a novel idea though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-11265185711639853552015-07-31T20:50:23.870+01:002015-07-31T20:50:23.870+01:00Farron confirms that voting LibDem is a complete w...Farron confirms that voting LibDem is a complete wasted vote as he doesn't believe in democracy. cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-10525460913115960422015-07-31T15:44:23.703+01:002015-07-31T15:44:23.703+01:00Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes You are right.....Jean Charles da Silva e de Menezes You are right... <br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-12421553501187841102015-07-31T14:46:35.893+01:002015-07-31T14:46:35.893+01:00The top left corner of the bureau de change has Ni...The top left corner of the bureau de change has Nicola, just saying.<br /><br />Typo, I think.

Look at their behaviour during the Referendum, meetings behind closed doors, only speaking to the faithful whilst there were people in the Labour Party campaigning for the YES vote. Now I recognise you are a Unionist and this is not about the YES/No campaign but the attitude of mind. I am wondering what stunt they will try pulling on Jeremy Corbyn either before the election of the Labour Leader or if he is elected. I do not think he will get an easy ride from the present ascendant part of the Party.

Willie Hague, IDS and Michael Bloody Howard. I mean as Blair became less popular, the Tories obliged by having ever more ridiculous muppets as their leader.<br /><br />I reckon that if he'd been up against a proper leader Labour would have lost out much earlier.<br /><br />Labour needs to get out and listen to people.

He's pretty much a left winger. One of his political heroes is Dennis Skinner (he got me a signed copy of Dennis's book when he was at conference). But he reckons that, and his local party does too, Corbyn would be unelectable in the SE of England. Labour needs to start thinking about places other than SE England though. <br /><br />But I agree 100% with you. if they are going to nod through everything the Tories do, or at least not vote against it, what are we going to get? Tory rule.<br /><br />And if they do that for the next 5 years, how many of their traditional vote will bother to go out and vote for them. And even if they do, it will still be, as you say, Tory rule. (Maybe without the fox hunting!)<br /><br />I gave up on Labour years ago because it felt like I was voting for Tory policies. Why would the people in the north of England or Wales carry on voting for a party that doesn't act in their interests? <br /><br />I know that London doesn't really think much about Scotland but, have they not taken on what happened in the referendum? In so-called "working class" areas people voted yes. Not out of some nationalistic pride, but mainly out of a desire to see policies that didn't grind them into the ground. Then the UK GE. Did they not notice the wipe out?<br /><br /> And it wasn't because Jim Murphy was a joke (although he was). It was because Labour left these areas behind. These area want money spent on them; not another war in the Middle East or a budget for the rich.<br /><br />Does none of that teach them a lesson?<br /><br />If they elect Corbyn, they'll get a pile of supporters back. (How many people have joined so they can vote for him?)<br /><br />It will mean a period of instability for Labour as people like Alistair Darling leave the party with Liz Kendal. So what? We have the Tories for 5 years anyway...what can we do about that? Nothing.<br /><br />Use the time to build Labour back up to cater for its original constituency, accepting that that constituency has changed in some ways, but not in others.<br /><br />To be honest it will probably be bad for the SNP, because they will have competition on the left, where there is none at the moment. I'm pretty sure that we could work with Corbyn of Devo-Max.<br /><br />It's the only hope for Labour. Being Tories won't work out for them. The UK already has a very "competent" set of them already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
