I cannot offer explanations for the individual failings of the NHS.

A lot more tax payers money has gone into it and many people speak well of it. I cannot suggest how it might be made more effective.

Most people inside the party were against the war and Tony Blair and we got rid of him. Brown too has turned out a disaster. It looks as if the Tories will be back and that is our fault.

I would say to those on the "left" when we campaigned with even a slightly more left wing programme people voted for Thatcher. I can see no evidence that they were searching for a genuine "Socialist" alternative. Parties of the left like the SWP and or Respect are a waste of time - nobody votes for them and with the exception of pro=Soviet George they never get elected.

If you are against the Tories you have a choice: do nothing, start your own party or work within one that already exists.
