Ever since Tony Blair and Clause 4, socialism has been a dirty word in The Labour Party. The closest most of the current lot got to socialist was shagging one at uni

They can't or won't see the problem because they ARE the problem.

There is only room for one Conservative party! Labour lost its way big time after being infiltrated with rich buggers who had Conservative values, and are now paying the price after failed Conservatives took over the party i.e Bliar.

Labour (traditionally politicians who were not rich by Conservative standards) and the Trade Union movement who represented the working man stood by and watched industry members jobs taken abroad, the obvious being....no jobs = no members. The point being is that Trade union membership (traditionally Labour ) was around 12 million in the 1980's, by 2012 it was around half of that figure! So to put it into perspective, what would a potential 6 million extra votes have done for Labour ?.........massive own goals all round from where I am standing.

The Labour party betrayed the working man, as demonstrated by Scotland, quite frankly I see no way back. As mentioned they are full of the rich - with a conservative mindset!

Election votes cast 2015.

Cons 11.334,520

Labour 9.347,326
SNP 1.454,436
Lib Dems 2.415,888
UKIP 3.881,129

Total 17.098,779 basically working class/down to earth people, voted against Conservative values/policies. Self serving politicians, and greed generally being the cause.

Labour leaned to far to the left under Milliband, hence the reason why they imploded.

Isn't that the place after Eric Joyce left?

That sort of thinking is exactly why the Labour party is finished.

They imploded after forgetting their own core voters and going after The Tory vote.

Surely the reason they went after the Tory voters was because there were not enough of their own core voters to get elected.

Grandad,

By the way...Congratulations



Stating the obvious they lost it in Scotland big time, the vote in general also filtered down through other parties that they in actual fact over the years had gone to the right. Labour had/has lost its compass on which the party had been built, it is there for all to see. No disrespect to yourself, but they are virtually a Conservative party under a different label.

Thank you.
I know that some will disagree but over the last 40 years or so most people have seen a rise in their lifestyle. Because of this they don't think of themselves as "working class" anymore. They see themselves as "middle class" and as such they don't feel the need for the far left, they have moved more to the centre politically. So we now have basically 3 parties trying to gain control of the political centre ground. The Tories are just right of centre and labour, under Blair moved to within a whisker of the same position and he won. So moving even the slightest bit back to the left may have suited the Labour ideologists but that was not what the voters wanted and Labour paid the price.

Grandad,

I have to wonder why a Tory politician would want the Labour party to know where they have gone wrong

The problem is simple, Labour are competing with 3 other parties for the right wing vote. The Left has just been ignored. Labour foolishly assumed their core vote would just drift along with them because they had no alternative.

In Scotland, the SNP hoovered up the traditional Labour vote - not by being Left wing - but more to the left than the other parties.

In large parts of England, Labour's disillusioned core vote has gone to UKIP and the Greens. The Lib Dem vote has gone to UKIP, Tories and the Greens

Meanwhile Labour are scrabbling around competing with Lib Dems, UKIP and Tories for the right wing vote.
If you want Tory policy, why would you vote for anyone else when you can have the real deal?

GE = SNP 1,454,436

Referendum

Yes = 1,617,989
