Theresa May's 2020 Vision

Having to vote again after four years is the norm in this country. That is why Theresa May is deliberately stretching out the Brexit process until it hits its fourth anniversary next year.

Then she will be able to say that, just as with the local council, the only thing for it after that length of time will be to make everyone vote again. She knows what she's doing.

Labour, meanwhile, is engaged in something comparable to Callaghan's turn to monetarism, or Mitterrand's turn to austerity, or the decision of Bernie Sanders to endorse the Russiagate hoax.

Jeremy Corbyn would not look like much of a global leader of the struggle against neoliberal capitalism if he could not even get his own country out of the European Single Market and Customs Union.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.

It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.

I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
