Jeremy Corbyn has the overwhelming backing of \u00a0Labour\u00a0Party members\u00a0and is winning back the millions of votes lost to Labour since it abandoned the working classes and re-invented itself as a Social Democratic party of the centre left. When the Tories were undetectable it gained power and held onto it, but when the Tories\u00a0recovered their equilibrium,\u00a0they lost it and will not get it back. Because to get power back the Tories had to move to the left and the two parties now occupy the same space.<\/p>\n
The Labour Party is the political arm of the Labour movement, The other arm is the Trade Unions. The purpose of the whole idea is to protect and advance the standards of living and future prospects of all those who work for the benefit of the economy in industry, commerce, services, education, health and whose earnings can never make them rich but upon whom the functions of a civilised state depend. The Labour Movement and Labour party members are engaged\u00a0in this notion of brotherhood and purpose for the common good of all. They are a political movement rooted in the country at large.<\/p>\n
The Parliamentary Labour Party has become a party detached from the country and rooted in Westminster. It smokes a daily dose from the pipe of power and lusts after it for its own sake. It spouts the nostrum, to justify its addiction, that without power you cannot help people. You can take this as a self evident truth, or, as the Blog prefers, dismiss it at cynical drivel. Because power\u00a0for power’s sake is like a journey without a compass or a destination. The\u00a0party membership in the country know where they want to go, there are more of them than all the other parties put together, and they chose by an overwhelming mandate from a wide choice of options just the person to take them there.<\/p>\n
If the PLP successfully\u00a0engineers a means to dump him, it will be the last big \u00a0thing it ever does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
