(who's hiding in the labour roses?)
Whether you like Corbyn or not at the end of the day he's definitely in the right party. He's a socialist in a socialist party. Where else are you supposed to go if you have strong socialist values? Again, we might argue the merits of those values, but either way people have the right to have them represented on the ballot paper.
Wanting to replace Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party because he's too socialist is like wanting to replace Nigel Farage as leader of the Brexit party because he's too much of a leaver.
Of course, the biggest scam ever pulled on the British working class is this Labour scam where the likes of Campbell and Blair get to hide behind the veil of "we're the caring party". Getting elected under the socialist ribbon, but secretly operating with a completely different agenda.
Time and time again normal British people have voted Labour - believing they were voting for a socialist party, a party that cared about them, that reflected their values - only to find they ended up with something completely different. War, debt, unfettered globalism, careerism, chicanery, condescension, communist big state for the elites, but cold blunt capitalism in the housing market, for the low paid and for the unemployed.
Now people have finally cottoned on to this scam and they aren't falling for it anymore. Time to take back the party. Time to make the Labour Party the party it says it is on the tin.
For me personally Corbyn and Labour as they stand are far too far to the left for my tastes. Yes, I think they will be bad for the economy, and it is a worry how potentially radical they would be in government. However, no one's forcing me to vote for them. Or to join them. So I can put my vote elsewhere. Plus they're actually being honest about what they stand for. Vote full-on socialism, get full-on socialism.
Ultimately it's now up to the people en masse as to whether they get elected or not. Either way the genuine socialists in the Labour Party have a right to support and promote a party that represents their views. They represent a decent-sized chunk of the population too. Again, a chunk of people entitled to have their views represented at elections. These people, the rank and file, the trade unionists etc are the Labour Party. Globalist liberals like Alastair Campbell don't have a God-given right to continually piggyback off these people.
If you don't like it, leave. It's pretty simple. There are plenty of other parties. If you find socialism so unattractive then why even join the Labour Party in the first place?
..And the wolf in sheep's clothing stuff just doesn't wash with voters anymore.
I think I'm starting to get a bit ranty here so I better stop 😅. I probably should finish with "rant over" like people do on Facebook. I love seeing people do that. It's like they've genuinely expressed a heartfelt opinion, only to then become self-conscious of it when they've finished writing or have read it back. You can usually be certain that anything written before "rant over" is something approximating their true unedited feelings. So I've possibly revealed something of myself in the above. I wonder if this is a predominantly British thing? What with the old "normally reserved" attitude an' all.
Anyway, I was originally just planning to point out that Jeremy Corbyn is the only thing keeping Labour's head above the water in the polls. He has a core of support and those people that support him sincerely like him. Take that away from Labour and there isn't really a great deal of appeal left. Let's be honest Change UK were basically Blairism in trial mode ..and they tanked. Really, really badly too. As per my rant, they really need to mask themselves in the warm glow of socialism to sell that serpentine residue to the poorer half of the British public. They're gonna have to go some now the way it's going.
Perhaps I should be a little kinder in future posts.
