Join Labour And Vote For The Leader - If They Like You

The Labour Party has always been a strange animal in my eyes but now it is turning into an absolute joke. Some may think it always has been but a political party that ruins the economy of this country whenever it is in power does not make me laugh.

Why is it becoming a joke? Simply because there are now calls from within the Parliamentary Labour Party for the leadership election to be stopped, suspended, cancelled or whatever word you wish to use.

You can if they like you and your politics!

Is this the Labour Party?

Why is this happening? Simply because you can join the Labour Party for £3 and then have a vote in their leadership election. Why is that bad in the eyes of Labour? Well because it might well mean that they will finish up with a leader that they don't want.

It would appear that this Democratic Socialist Party, according to the official Labour website, does not actually want either a Socialist Leader nor Socialists joining the Party. Anybody see the logic in that because I can't.

If the Labour Party, a Democratic Socialist Party, does not want a socialist leader nor socialists in the Party then what does it want? If it isn't socialist then what actually is it? What does it actually stand for? Does it stand up for its Democratic Socialist principles or does it understand that voters in this country are highly unlikely to ever elect a truly socialist government and therefore they are not going to be socialists in reality so that they have a chance to get elected? Does anybody really know?

Or is this the Labour Party?

It appears to me that Labour is a political party with neither heart or soul and without a clear path to follow. It is in disarray now. It was once explained to me that under that great Socialist Tony Blair, the left wing of the party made a decision to keep quiet, not rock the boat and not actually look to socialist principles whilst he was leader so that they could get into government. The latest debacle relating to the leadership contest would appear to confirm that to me. Don't be socialist because socialist policies are not popular. What are they then? Conservatives in dead sheeps clothing?
