"I think you told us that was the aim last week, jim."
Never mentioned 'opposition' Al
Being there in the present set-up only benefits career politicians
No party is worth anything unless it fights on an alternative to what is happening - sitting on their thumbs and waiting for the next election only perpetuates the system
Unless Corbyn, or whoever, fights on a genuinely alternative policy, they may as well concentrate their energies on reforming the party and getting rid of the dross.
That is the ticket on which Corbyn won the leadership - now he has to make his policies realities.
Today's parliament is little more than an exclusive club - as one of the Ealing comedy characters once said, "it was either that or the church".
I'm rapidly coming around to teh old Anarchist slogan, "Don't vote for any of them - it only encourages them".
Do you really think another Blair, Brown or Wilson - elected or not - will make the slightest difference to the rest of us??
