alan, what will please me is a labour party which is true to its core principles, combined with the ability to run the country effectively. this administration is selling the low paid of this country down the river under the guise of a minimum wage. We have a workforce which is the least regulated and therefore has the least protection in Europe, and the longest working week in Europe, whilst the average pay of the CEOs in top companies is now £2.5 million per year, 103 times greater than the average wage. If you know anything about your own party, (clue - it is called the LABOUR , that's L A B O U R , party) then you will know that this is irreconcilable with the party's principles, as is acting as lieutenant to far-right warmongering US presidents, ignoring UN resolutions, invading other countries in defiance of UN resolutions, introducing the private sector into NHS, encouraging private education, deporting people to countries who practice torture and so on and so forth ad nauseam. If you think that asking Labour to be true to its principles is asking the impossible, then so be it. You said it.
