Primitive Tribesman, you said "the Brits".   If you has said "some Brits", you would have a better chance of asserting that you said what, it now seems, you meant.

I am not in fact a member of the Labour Party (although I am a member of UCU, and of course the Law Society). I did consider joining the Labour Party but then they removed Clause 4 from the constitution.   Incidentally I have thrice been approached by various right-wing parties to serve them or stand for them - presumably on the basis that I have a tolerable house so must be right wing, and/or that I am a vocal critic of the idiocies of our masters which art in Brussells, which is mistaken for an opposition to the EU which, on balance, I favour. I have naturally sent them packing.

What I see very clearly is that the present coalition, dominated by its right wing, is not merely wrong but evil - indeed there are hints of a return to Section 28, simply by way of illustration. Our immediate need is the lesser of two evils, while we try to construct a political system that seeks to serve all - from each according to their means, to each according to their needs.

The losses to the country (and I mean country, for large chunks of the money in question go abroad) from the parasitism of the rich far exceed the losses to the exchequer (but not to the country for the poor spend and hide far less abroad than the rich) from the opportunism of the poor.

We need to get rid of this government. Anything (apart from nut-houses like those that are not mentioned or UKIP) would be an improvement. We need that now and we can't wait until the left is perfect. It is better, right now, despite the venality of Tony B.Liar. Then the system needs fixing so that wealth does not give an electoral advantage (right-wing conservatives are expected to block reform of the funding of political parties to per-vote centralised funding).
