Putting The Cog Into Cognition

I am not a member of the Workers Party of Britain. As I have told them, my magazine and thinktank work from later this year onwards will be more easily pursued without a party affiliation. But I voted for the Workers Party last time, and I would do so again. Even if, like any voter for any party, I did not and do not necessarily agree with it about everything. I repeat that I am not a member, much less a spokesman.

That said, "a new party of the Left" is doing the rounds again. Yet the Workers Party is there. This time last year, it had an MP. At the General Election, he nearly held on, and two more candidates were very nearly elected. If it matters, then only one of those three was a Muslim, and all three were White British. What is the problem with it?

That is not a rhetorical question. What is the problem with the Workers Party? Acceptance of Brexit? Opposition to gender self-identification? Resistance to Net Zero? Criticism of the war in Ukraine? George Galloway personally? If so, then join the Green Party, which already has four MPs. But if not, then do everything that you can to secure the election of Peter Ford at Runcorn and Helsby. For a start.
