But, McGrath, that is because it has been demonstrated over & over again that the way for Labour to be sure of losing any election is to go to the country with left-wing policies. From 1951 onwards, the people of the UK have demonstrated time & again that they don't like socialism in any form: they don't like it, they don't trust it, they don't want it. Isn't it time that those thus inclined recognised the fact and stopped bellyaching about it in this undemocratic fashion? By all means, let them continue their campaigning and their attempts at re-educating the populace to their way of thinking. But can't they have the humility and decency to stop denouncing those that don't agree with them as misguided fools?
