Jon Cruddas Not Quite There Yet

I voted for you several times, Jon. A simple number 1 and that was it. But I did so precisely because these groups need a new party, and you could be a key figure in bringing that about.

    Oh dear David, you are not under the illusion that MPs read your blog? How we chuckle!

    Well, I read it for a start. Quite a few of us do, across all parties. We've seen what's happened to Bob Wareing, and we ask not for whom the bell tolls next. Not that we're all anything like Bob's age, either.

    A new party? There is just going to have to be one sooner rather than later. This blog is a vitally important part of the process towards one. And whatever the star-struck peasants (in Parliament as well as out of it) might think, serious politicians certainly read this blog on a very regular basis.

    Go on then, anonymous - reveal yourself. As David keeps asking: What are you waiting for?

    I think we can safely say that (s)he won't, Benny.

    They daren't. Wareing was ruthlessly replaced with a metropolitan, upper middle class, Europhile, warmongering, neoliberal Gay Identity merchant in favour of stem cell "research".

    So they've all got the message, in all parties. Not metropolitan enough? Out! Not posh enough? Out! Not pro-EU? Out! Not pro-war? Out! Not in favour of privatising the earth, sun, moon and stars and charging people for oxygen? Out!

    Not either GI (which most people who engage in homosexual acts aren't) or prepared to bend over (Wareing voted against the sodomy of 16-year-olds of both sexes)? Out! Not in favour of the whole cultural and political agenda behind scientifically worthless "research"? Out!

    As you've asked before David, why was it this particular Campaign Group member who was made the example? The above answers that question. Austin Mitchell will be next from the Campaign Group. And Frank Field and Kate Hoey will be next in general.

    Meanwhile, goodbye to the Cornerstone Group and similar Tories, who often have highly developed Christian social consciences.

    And goodbye to the remaining old Liberals of the kind who really represented, rather than merely sitting for, places like the West Country, the Highlands and Islands, the Borders, Northumberland and Mid Wales.

    All of those people, and the many millions who want to vote for politicians like them, would fit easily into your new party, David. Bring it on!
