I don't know if it's good or bad news for john leech or for labour. I don't know the lady or what she represents or why she moved. Or if it matters.
These things happen. One moves from Lib Dem to Labour. 10 000 moved in the opposite direction at the last election. Seems like a representative ratio.
If people didn't change sides in politics their would be no democracy, so good luck to the lady
Whichever way you look at it, Labour is shaping up for a massive hiding at the next election. All through its own failing, not some brilliant lib dem or tory strategy.
It's time for a change, theyve been in power too long and are getting sleazy like all parties do when theyre in power too long. Lib dems would too if they ever got the chance. human nature
Personally I just hope we get a hung parliament and the 2 majors are forced to accept PR and proper democracy, rather than the myth of "strong" government caused by elected dictactorships which land us all with the devastation of thatcher, or thw warmongering arrogant lies of Tony Blair. And yes, Dave's description of them as war criminals is apt.
I trust you all saw the comments made by blair and bush about israel when they thought the mikes were switched off this week. Tony Blair was basically asking Bush's permission to go to the middle east and offering to act as assistant to condi rice. So much for "partnership". Master and dog, more like.
John, how on earth did a labour party get in a mess like that? These guys are from the generation that stood outside the US embassy in the 60s protesting against Vietnam, and now here they are acting as US doormats? Tell me, you are an articulate defender of Labour, can you live with that?
