"This is a very important election:"

Quite Agree Richard

"it decides whether the UK will again be submitted to government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich and expected gratefully to tug its forelock,"

You mean a Labour Government with us poor bastards who actually work being eternally grateful to the Government and Unions for being allowed to work?


"or whether we will have any chance of a government that makes at least a pretence of representing the cross-section of society."

As does the Conservative Party.
Now, even more than ever before, Labour's place as the so-called party of the working classes is being exposed as the sham it always was.
Labour has long been hijacked as the party of the Socialist Middle Classes and Trade Union barons.
