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.

You're probably right, but that's the phrase. Two short planks any better? But it doesn't express my irritation.

Depends on what you feel the Labour Party should be campaigning on.

When Blair was elected as leader it was the left that cried the day the Labour Party died and it did in a way, not so much die but the extreme clause 4 nationalisation socialism in Britain crowd went into hibernation.. Now of course its the wing who wants to work with capitalism who have been knocked of their perch.

I can see why so many Labour Party members supported Corbyn just out of purely being sickened by the smarmy masonic type club that the recent leadership had become. Even I prefer Corbyn to the other lot that's held sway all using politics to further their own attitudes towards life, however without capitalism developing we wouldn't be commenting on the internet as there would be no internet, no electricity no energy in fact no left -wing and especially Labour Party.


The day the left can admit to the fact that capitalism has been the most powerful force in human history to improve our lot and that instead of constantly using pathetic caricatures of the 'Bosses' and 'workers' and actually look at the human condition before the industrial revolution then I'll consider the left again or any sane discussion that sees the importance of capitalism and also the negatives without screaming lynch the bosses.

200 years of industrialisation , 60 years of billions not million living better than ever somehow looks like a dot on one pebble on the beaches of the whole planet when compare to the Neolithic post ice age time span let alone the last 600 thousands years of glaciation.

I think it is safe to say that it was the day *New* Labour died. Although to be fair it's been a while since they used that term.

When Blair was elected as leader it was the left that cried the day the Labour Party died and it did in a way, not so much die but the extreme clause 4 nationalisation socialism in Britain crowd went into hibernation.. Now of course its the wing who wants to work with capitalism who have been knocked of their perch.

What goes around comes around.....

Well yes but the Labour Party developed as an 'antidote' if you like to the bare, naked capitalism that brought us the industrial revolution. It was not so very long before the Labour Party's inception that we had appalling factory conditions, child labour, even slavery. That's what happens when you let capitalism run rampant and completely unbridled without any of the checks and balances that social reform brings.

Eat the rich

You know I always find it very ironic that when capitalism goes badly wrong as in the case of the banking crisis it takes a good does of good old fashioned socialism as in the nationalisation of part of the banking system to steady the ship.
