April 17, 2013 at 11:03amThere is an overwhelming need for the working class and poor to be represented fully and effectively, at the moment and since before ‘new labour’ and Blair’s war crimes the Labour Party has been captured by the pifalls of parliamentary democracy. Ed Miliband has been an enormous disappointment failing to both express an alternative to austerity and to collude with the Tories over the new ‘common sense’ that everyone must share the pain of the crisis…A new party may not immediately capture votes for a moribund parliament of (mostly) grey men but it can assemble a coherent alternative to finance capital rules ok, ok?
