In affectionate remembrance of the Labour Party, which died at the Queen
Elizabeth II conference centre, Westminster, on 12 September, 2015, it’s deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances. R.I.P. The body will be cremated, and the ashes taken to Islington. The election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party is a catastrophe, a catastrophe for our political system and a catastrophe for the country. Labour has not just relinquished any prospect of being a party of government. It has just relinquished any prospect of being a party of opposition. Despite all the hype surrounding this election, trade union participation has collapsed. When the new trade union bill is passed a similar collapse in the party’s union funding, will follow. The last private sector donors are already walking away. This leaves the Labour a party without a credible prime minister, a credible cabinet, a credible policy programme or a credible funding stream. In other words, it has ceased to be a political party at all. And that has implications for everyone. Those who confidently predicted the 2015 election would herald the end of two party politics were right. We have now entered the era of one party politics. There is only one way an official opposition can put pressure on a government. That is by making itself a potential government. And with the election of Jeremy Corbyn Labour is no longer even capable of fulfilling that basic political and constitutional obligation. This the great irony of what Labour Party has just done. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
