One Antonine, One Manifesto, One Destiny!
Too bad Labour Party's view on the Unions and view on nationalized industry vs. privatized is not in line with Social Market economy. As it is about better union control, laws, fewer unions, more worker partcipation, deregulated and a free market etc.
Believe me, Labour do not support a Social Market Economy
Those are all policy stances that plenty of people in the Labour Movement, including our leader Denis Healey, would support. Healey hasn't had much time in the job and therefore is yet to put forth his own views on policy, but I believe that Social Market policies, measures to increase workplace democracy (and cooperatives and whatnot) and yes even IPOS-style union controls - which are not in any way vociferously anti-union, unlike certain other parties' policies - are all part of the progressive social democratic future which Labour will embrace in its coming years in government.
Nevah! In spite of the fact that that Bremner song's been stuck in my head for the past 48 hours - what? It's catchy and the way Rory pronounces "Lib Dems" is hilarious...
Yep. You're definitely the one in the wrong party, Rosa.

I certainly hope that Labour will embrace policy of popularizing awesome eyebrows among people of Britain.

What about me and van5?
You are just votes. Walking and breathing, but still, only votes.
Even if that is the case, it's terribly disingenuous to claim that Labour has 'had their fun' and has been 'in the government', when they've only been in power (using the term loosely to include their latest stint) twice - once under Attlee in 1945, and once in 1964 with Grimond, where, again, Grimond dictated policies and then broke his pact with Labour and booted them from the government. And its these misleading statements (slanderous to a party your own is closer to than the Tories according to the statements in the manifestos, I might add), that make me less-than-willing to accept what you say, despite much of it seeming sound and reasonable. The facts simply contradict too much.
Once more, the Communists are one step ahead.
Healey: Better Eyebrows than Brezhnev.
Van's an Orangist who voted Labour - he hardly counts.
Next election
And maybe the Communists in Labour Party will mean a migration of modereate labourites to. Liberal Party once more more. I hope you join the Yellow-Orange wave too.
Next election
So, random male Liberal politician is better than Maggie? You are paternalist indeed.
Next election
I'm not just going to roll over and die and let Lenin Cat take over the party! No, I'm going to fight... with passion and conviction. If van wants to be a sniveling little coward then good riddance.
If the DDP were taken over by social liberal entryists, would you evacuate at the first signs of trouble or would you stay in the party and try to fight them off?
What?
I am not, I even want further social reforms of the liberation of women and sexual miniorities. I don't suppose it is the top agenda of Thathcer
Statistically, any random person will probably be a better choice than the Milk Snatcher.
What is this DDP? Are you talking about DDR/GDR?
Why are you so upset over a little milk? Don't you want the money to be better spent? Like being used on better education quality or new updated texbooks?
*sigh*
If a purely hypothetical rabidly free-market yet socially liberal British political party were in existence, and you were a member of it, and then a bunch of social liberal entryists came along and tried to infiltrate the party, would you abandon said party or try to fight them off?
Props for doing some research and getting that reference.
Another fanatical anty-Tory, eh? Sorry to upset you, but there are several here already.
But I always laugh at the Milk Snatcher line.
Ay, but that's not the case. The money goes into private hands of those who have abundance of it as it is and can send their kids to schools of their liking, with milk and everything handed to them, while the majority suffers.
