In affectionate remembrance of the Labour Party, which died at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre, Westminster, on 12 September, 2015. Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances. R.I.P. The body will be cremated, and the ashes taken to Islington.
It’s possible to look at the positives, because there are positives. Change has come to one of the two great establishment parties. Real change, not that plastic “hopey, changed stuff” so beloved of spin doctors, politicians and commentators. A genuine buzz and excitement has surrounded the election of a British political leader. OK, it may have been confined to people who already take a close interest in politics. But they have chosen to become active participants, rather than mute observers. And this is a genuinely historic moment. A watershed event. What happened here today will have an impact on our national life for years, probably decades, to come.
Enough of the positives. The election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party is a catastrophe. A catastrophe for the Labour Party. A catastrophe for our political system. A catastrophe for the country.

Because socialism worked so well in Europe the last time around.
Next up...the Democrat Party.
Go UKIP!
We can only hope that Obama has done the same for the Democrat Party in the US.
Based on votes, I don’t think so. I think that, between the Immigration act of 1965 and the tidal wave of Invading Barbarians, the Free Stuff Army has grown to the point that the Socialists in the Democrat Party have an overwhelming advantage.
The news of their death is being greatly exaggerated. BEWARE. This will come back to bite everyone. Extremism now has center stage in that party and it will sell sell sell. The “moderates” were bad enough. But this guy got about 60% of the vote. The ideology of the so-called moderates was destined to lead to this. They were willfully blind to think otherwise. The Democrats here are following in their footsteps.
They’re not dead, just pining for the fjords!
