Bhaskar, mera dost, what on earth are you talking about ?
"despite New Labour's best efforts Labour remains a
party of the working class and not a social liberal party like the
Democratic Party in the US."
Labour IS precisely a "social liberal" party. Have you not been paying
attention to Tony Blair's policies over the last 15 years ?
Have you not HEARD Tony explicitly say that he rejected any kind of "State
regulation" and wanted to promote
a new model, where the free flow of investment is encouraged, and where Britain
will rely on it's position in the
global economy, on its "competitiveness", on its ability to provide
high-quality financial services ?
Have you not witnessed Labour happily pursue, and intensify, Thatcher's assault
on the welfare state ?
All this nonsense about Labour being an expression of working class Britain
seems to belong to 1910 not 2010.
Is this what happens every time there is a major parliamentarian election ?
Socialists deluding themselves into thinking such and
such a party is "better" than a competing, so-called "reactionary" party ?
Socialists trying to figure out why the hell they should vote
for X and finding the most ludicrous reasons for doing do ("it's the lesser of
two evils") ?
Parlementarian elections are a great hindrance to working class emancipation.
