Quote:New Labour is far from dead. Its core still sits in the House, waiting for the right moment to ditch Corbine. I amazed you, of all people, think it dead [img alt=:eek]http://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/shocked.gif[/img]The New Labour days are over. New Labour failed. New Labour tried to stop Corbyn and failed. The membership no longer supports The New Labour project. Chuka Umuna and others have tried to finish The Labour Party by setting up a new right centralist New Labour type party but in reality may have brought their political careers to a stop. Others are trying to accuse the Labour Party of being a home for bigots and racists with their fake anti-Semitic claims, they will fail too.
But what could sadly kill Labour is one of the men who stood firm for years and is one of the men responsible for winning it back from the Blairites, and that is Corbyn. The Labour Party must ditch it's ridiculous position of delivering BREXIT. Well maybe, but only if we can’t get a general election, and then maybe if we can’t get that we’ll put a deal to the people, and maybe see what they want. Oh the deal will be a bit of this and a bit of that. For focs sake.
Labour must take a principled stand. It is clear that it is in the UK’s interest to be part of the single market. We can leave and go to a Norway type deal (favoured by Farage a few years back), but then why would we want to give up our current privileges and influence.
It is also clear there is a majority in the country in favour of remaining in the EU.
Meanwhile on a brighter note. There is always the possibility of the upcoming new Prime Minister being put on trial for abusing public office. And hopefully other candidates will now be charged. Imagine that a UK PM facing jail!
