Is there any talk of splitting and forming a new, proper socdem party?

That's what they should do out of ideological sympathy, but you know that they'd want to fight for the party machinery and resources, and to fool diehard working-class Labour voters that they represent their interests.eumaas wrote:The Blairites should just join the Lib Dems or the Tories.

No one has had a genuine interest to represent diehard working-class Labour voters in years. That's what makes Corbyn a sore thumb.Dr. Medulla wrote:That's what they should do out of ideological sympathy, but you know that they'd want to fight for the party machinery and resources, and to fool diehard working-class Labour voters that they represent their interests.eumaas wrote:The Blairites should just join the Lib Dems or the Tories.

Re: Hey limeys
I suspect that the upcoming Clinton presidency will go a long way to revitalizing a proper left in the US. The Democrats and Blairites delegitimize themselves by failing to address a miserable reality of their own making.Wolter wrote:Between them and the Clintonistas, I despair for a legitimate left anywhere in the English speaking world.eumaas wrote:Blairites have more or less run me off Twitter.

Re: Hey limeys
I don't read much of the mainstream press, let alone the mainstream international press. Has there been any coverage for the incredible purge Labour did for the leadership election?

A nice little death dance, with the winner getting the party name and machinery. It certainly belies the idea that New Labour is all about pragmatism.Silent Majority wrote:I don't read much of the mainstream press, let alone the mainstream international press.
