It's utterly bizarre that some people seem to believe a genuinely left-wing Labour Party can win a general election. It can't (and won't).
Some of us had to put up with 18 years of Tory rule, because of that bloody delusion. Tsk!

@PhilosophyExp it's all I can see stretching into the future right now; it's making me feel queasy. -
@SteveCooke I know. It seems as if they're content merely to be a party of protest (or they really are deluded). -
@PhilosophyExp I was pointed out to me earlier that Marxists tend not to care about electoral politics, they have revolutions to prepare for -
@SteveCooke Yeah, rather than permanent revolution, what you get is permanent preparation for a revolution doing an impression of Godot!

@PhilosophyExp I wonder what would have happened if it weren't for John Smith's death. -
@DarwinsJRT I don't think Labour would have won with John Smith. He didn't have the charisma (a sad indictment of electoral politics). -
@PhilosophyExp There is that but his opponent would have been Major...so only a v.marginal Tory advantage. Here's to dull political leaders
