Right then.. I vote Labour - but I'm not a fan of the Labour party...

So they have let's say 2 to 3 years to rediscover their traditional working class roots,
and claim the party back from it's middle class academic/identity politics hijackers...

At least the Northern disaster might serve to give the Labour party
the wake up call it's needed this last few years...???

At the moment it basically seems dominated by the culture and obsessions
of the more zealot extremes of the National Union of Students...

That's the public perception, obviously hyped up by right wing media and internet bigotry,
but to a significant extent based on reality...

Labour now has more than enough evidence that it's old traditional voter base
feel their party has been taken over by intolerant puritanical ideologue cuckoos
who dislike and look down on the working class....

If my dad - a factory machine operative and shop steward - was still alive,
I dread to think how even he might now feel despondent enough with his party
to punish them by voting tory...!!!???

[.. and if my extended family back on the council estate voted at all,
I daren't ask which party...]
