You have it all wrong! I've found the original version, before the penultimate rewrite: "The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party, or at least it would be if I could just find a dictionary with pictures or until the Darkness (which I listen to so the people of Great Britain will know how hip I truly am) set the definition to music. It believes that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, I guess that sounds nice, doesn't it, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our very bestest true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few, but at the same time in nobody's hands, because that isn't truly fair, where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe the revenue services, and where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect similar in some ways to the free spirit of the 1960s, but in a very respectable format which appeals even to dyed-in-the-wool Tories."
