NOW THAT BRITAIN’S EXPERIMENT WITH DEMOCRACY is over, with the Condems declaring themselves elected for the next five years, the Labour party, now more lost than ever, has settled back into the business of behaving like political parties used to do in the good old days when the common people were not allowed to choose their representatives and there was no such thing as the Labour party other than in the minds of drunken Scots on a Friday night at the local pub.
ELIMINATING PROTESTANT CELTS, THERFORE, HAS BEEN step one in avoiding any return to democracy; the next step was to get shot of anyone who showed any sign of intelligence, clarity of expression or interest in personal grooming. A further step towards hatred from the populace would be to increase the number of prominent females at top table.
WITH SUCCESS UNUSUAL FOR SOCIALISM, Labour’s chief officers have achieved all of this and more, rendering them not only unelectable in the long term, but also unintelligible in the short term as far as many of the “Eastenders”, Brummies and assorted Northerners might be concerned.
BUT PROGRESS INTO THE PAST is most clearly seen in the return to family ties being a dominant factor in how Labour chooses its big wigs. Every decent politician loves a bit of nepotism, as we all know, of course; and it can only be good for the Parliamentary Labour party to have loving brothers in arms and loving husbands and wives in the shadow cabinet. What we really need – although I believe a plethora of them is on the way – is a little more father-in-law/son-in-law love. Then we might see who the meatheads and dopes are.
