Or – a Full English Brexit
They are behind in the polls (I would agree that is a great achievement considering the hopeless government and leadership we have at the moment) and membership is dramatically falling – they are not renewing and a lot of the youngsters are now very unimpressed.
It would appear that each Labour shadow member cabinet has a clear policy and approach – it's just a shame that (like the Conservatives) they are so different. Witness Diane Abbott on QT last week!
Presumably that will be like what they did at conference last year – but now a lot of them are giving a different version.
Trade Unions no longer have the influence they used to possess but will probably continue misrepresenting what their majority members really want/think
They were way behind in the polls when TM called the last elections. She called those elections because they had about 24% lead or there abouts. Just imagine what they can achieve in the next elections. Especially if they come away from Executive Council all singing and dancing the same tune?
Tories not much different. Labour MPs can say and quote as many different views as the Tories. Be all things to all people. There is no need for Labour to help the Tories out. Tories doing splendidly well tearing them selves apart. The onus is on the Tories not Labour. Once again Labour just playing politics.
Trade Unions do have power as they have money. If the executive agree staying in or another referendum big business will finance Labour. Tories hardly the party of business.
I have countless times witnessed and seen just how effective the Labour party machine is. They didn't have any councillors here and now making in-roads.
Don't forget a week is a long time in politics. Come the next elections Tories will be trashed I reckon. That's why they have been running scared and know they don't have much chance of winning and thus continue with TM.
Moreover, if Farage and Boris do form new party then that'll really split the vote.
Labour are playing a clever game and winning imo.
