About Lee: Former students' union president and intermitent blogger since the turn of the century, who's aim is to promote objective thinking and a break from partisan politics when discussing the issues of the day. Wed 17th Sep 2008
So the Labour party is continuing to devolve in to chaos. Rather than accept this and sort it out once and for all, Gordon and the senior ministers in the party are actively pushing to continue turmoil and heighten the disillusionment. Hanging on the power by less and less of a grip, people are trying to save the administration with vacuous statements such as...
I hope people will stop distracting us from the task in hand, which is to respond to the real problems people are facing in our constituencies up and down the country. - Phil Hope
I happen to agree, this isn't the right time. Labour should be carving a new way forward, knuckling down to combat the threat of the Tories taking power in a way that the Lib Dem's are currently doing so well in my opinion. But can they really be expected to do that while they have a leadership that has brought the party to their lowest standing in decades?

Latest Politalks:
So what the hell is going on, Labour are slumping in the polls and yet those most naturally in their shadow able to take their place (the Lib Dems) are failing to capitalise in the polls. And even though the Tories are enjoying high times so much they must think it's the 80's all over again (in more ways than one) they have failed to deliver one serious or credible attack against the government that would show them to be the true heir's to the throne. So to speak. Anyway, on with this weeks Politalks. NSFW as usual, transcript can be found if you go through to read more!
