Another Future Is Possible, Indeed

Britain hurtles towards the worst death rate in Europe, and that is just the official figures that count only deaths in hospitals. The self-employed are on the brink of starvation. Yet Labour turns out to be no more popular under Keir Starmer than it had ended up being under Jeremy Corbyn.

The country and the base are united in their scorn. People who had remained in the Labour Party throughout the Blair years are leaving in droves rather than put up with Starmer, and his extreme right-wing Shadow Treasury team, and Jess Phillips, and all the rest of it.

Thursday 6th May 2021 will be Super Thursday. Unless I am very much mistaken, then there will be elections of some kind on every inch of Great Britain. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to smash the right-wing Labour machine to smithereens, thereby enabling British politics to start again.

At least above Parish or Town level, do not vote Labour. Just don't. Anyone who had chosen to stand under that banner would have made that choice, and would have to live with its consequences. In general, vote for whoever was best placed to defeat Labour. A ward by ward guide to Durham County Council, where this need is particularly acute, will appear here nearer the time.

For the Scottish Parliament, get Alex Salmond back in, get as many as possible of his supporters in with or without the backing of the SNP, get Nicola Sturgeon's supporters out, and get Sturgeon herself out. Ideally, Salmond himself will contest Glasgow Southside against her. Failing that, Tommy Sheridan or Craig Murray would be very well worth backing.

Vote for George Galloway for Mayor of London. And when casting list votes for the London Assembly, the Scottish Parliament, or what will then be the Welsh Parliament, vote either for the Workers Party of Britain or for the Social Democratic Party. Those agree on a lot, and where they do, then they are right. Indeed, vote for one or the other of those parties wherever the opportunity presents itself. Except for constituency seats in London, Scotland or Wales, due to the electoral system.

The Budget of March 2020, and the Government's response to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, have ended the era that began with the Budget of December 1976. Only the party of the 1976 Budget still wishes to live in that era. The Centre is the think tank for this new era. Please give generously.
