Tatchell on Labour

Protest against Brown – vote Green | Peter Tatchell | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

Under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, Labour lost its heart and soul. It has become the party of war, privatisation and attacks on civil liberties. The Labour government promoted the financial deregulation that led to the banking crisis, resulting in bankruptcies and mass unemployment. It refuses to take legal action against the corporate criminals who have pushed Britain to the precipice of a full-blown economic depression.


Agreed, Peter. But the only viable base for a rebirth of left-wing progressive politics will be in the 155-190 seats Labour would probably still end up with.
