163 : Labour Leadership Election reaches Impasse :Which loser to elect for GE2024 Defeat ?
On April 4th, the Labour Party will have a new leader. Starmer, Nandy or Long-Bailey.
The smart money is on Keir Starmer -chief Remainer,who has promised to campaign for the reintroduction of the EU's freedom of movement for labour. Given that to all intents and purposes Johnson's government has already pre-capitulated to the corporate globalists' agenda, Starmer's quixotic utterances on the issue are wholly inconsequential.
The substantive debate among the leadership contenders has been on the conjoined areas of gender and identity politics.
Whereas once upon a Class analysis of society time,Labour would address unemployment and poverty they are now consumed by men claiming to be women ,the "rights" of individuals to indulge in whatever sexual practices that they wish to and demand full public respect from the rest of society for doing so; ad infinitum .
And on this egregious and wholly otiose basis some 600,000 individual party members will have the opportunity to cast a vote which in the end will determine who gets to lead the Labour party to its fifth consecutive general election defeat in 2024,which in turn will necessitate the Party having to choose yet another leader in time for 2029.
Once you abandon a sober-minded, Class based analysis of society ,concentration and centralisation of capital etc. you end up precisely where over 100 years of intellectually supine social democratic politics is at virtually without exception right across the continental land mass of Europe-at their historic pre-extinction nadir.
To borrow the line from Pink Floyd's, "Dark Side of the Moon" ; I guess there's nothing more to say.
