But even more, remember what the alternatives to the present government may be. It may have no respect for the truth, but THatcher had no respect for jobs or lives either. We need teh labour party, but can it be in some way accountable to us please?
That is indeed the problem. I don't know what we can do about it that could be effective. One thing I've done, which is probably of no value at all except to make me feel better, is to write to the local Labour Group saying I am happy to vote Labour in future unless my current MP is the candidate, in which case I will definitely vote elsewhere.
