Faced with two major parties both offering austerity and racism it's not
entirely unsurprising that voters chose the ones who presented themselves as
being most confident and straightforward.It's instructive to compare this with
what happened in Scotland where an SNP who were at least rhetorically miles to
the left of Labour - anti austerity, anti Trident &c wiped the "red tories" off
the political map.In Hayes and Harlington, one of the few remaining authentic
Labour lefts John McDonnell *increased* his majority by 5000.
It wasn't that people rejected left or anti austerity policies -in England they
weren't offered them on any scale. It's the rotten, cowardly , lacklustre,
placating the racists, pro austerity campaign by Milliband et al that is
responsible for the disaster visited upon us...michael
