Sorry John but that just does not wash. You know it is broken, you do not know how to fix it, yet you do know that it needs unity. Yes, it does need compromise to achieve agreement in any situation. Compromise is a two sided thing. Why then does it seem to be just the left wing that are targeted as being the ones who are rocking the boat? This is not having a go at you or anything personal. I have noticed that in general it is always left wing intransigence or the loony left who are at fault. We have to ask ourselves why this is and the most likely answer is that the people pulling the strings want to demonise the left to ensure that government stays firmly behind their interests rather than for the good of the majority.

In answer to your question, Raggy, yes any Labour government must be better than this shower of shysters but, again, I am not convinced that moving further right will be of any benefit in the long term.
