Peter Hain has been banging on again about the Labour supporters who don’t feel they can vote for the Labour Party this time. Quoted in yesterday’s Observer he says.
There’s now a kind of dinner party critics who quaff shiraz or chardonnay and just sneeringly say, “You are no different from the Tories”,’ he said. ‘Most of the people in this category are pretty comfortably off: it’s not going to be the end of the world if they get a Tory government. In a working-class constituency like mine, this is a lifeline. It’s not a luxury.
See that’s a really good way to get us all back on board – insult us. I wonder why no-one has thought of that before.
As Backing Blair say it’s only because people like Hain have failed to address the “Blair Problem” in the party that people like us have to take action ourselves.
