« Last post by oldfordie on Today at 02:06:47 am »Labour will be able to act as a party of government for a while, but there will be the ever existing undercurrent that Labour aren't left wing enough for the purists. They'll mock a Labour government as being no better than Tories, and push for policies that have no effect other than to show how pure they are. They'll win enough support to push the narrative that the Labour government has run out of steam, and the country will revert back to voting Tory. And 10 years of Labour government will be followed by 15 years of Tory government.I think we've moved on from that period now, I don't think the left can argue all the old purist economic arguments anymore. even the young people introduced to politics during the last leadership are moving on now they understand what politics is about, even Momentum is calling it a day. there will be pockets of course but they won't influence the National picture.
What happens with all the wars and Green politics is where the fight will be.
Am not naïve on the problems Labour will face, the silly soundbites to stop people voting for them if they win power for say 15yrs, how we shouldn't allow governments to hold power for so long as they go stale, they run out of ideas. I think that's bo;; myself, ive no problem with Labour staying in power for the next 50yrs as the alternatives will take us backwards.
nobody knows the future but I still believe this country has changed politically for many years to come and that's a good thing.
