Labour party values,do they still class themselves as the working class party ?

Question

i find it disturbing that the very roots "people" that made the labour party are now the worst off in society what have labour evolved into, do you still class them as the working class party ?

Answer 1

There are still those who believe in that.....why not join them?

Answer 2

No, they can't get away with playing the class card anymore. Society isn't as sharply defined as it was at one time by class. We are virtually all working class, and the arrival of new money has made it more difficult for them to play the 'toff' card. They wouldn't dare criticise the Beckhams, for example. In fact, New Labour positively sucks up to them. Moreover, every Tom, d**k or Harriet these days can be a Dame or a Lord.

Accordingly, having ditched the old enemy out of necessity, they have invented a new one. White middle England, particularly the male. This is the new enemy, and its victims are all the various disadvantaged groups that Labour have invented as an excuse to attack it. The disabled, the poor, ethnics, g**s, drug addicts, immigrants, women (except militant feminists) to name but a few.

The minority groups created by Labour are being used as a tyranny against the majority to bring about a new social order, aided and abetted by feminism. Instead of the 'hard left', we now have the 'intellectual left' who are in charge. They have already brought the country to a state of near collapse and anarchy, (quite deliberately) and want to hand us over to the EU.

Left wing totalitarianism is the ultimate objective. There will be no democracy, no religion, and no morality as we used to understand it. Instead, these things will be replaced by left wing ideology.

EDIT. It is an indictment of Labour, that their hitherto most important client group, Pensioners, have been completely left out of the equation.

Answer 3

That loud spinning noise you can hear is the likes of Attlee,Bevan and Gaitskell true Labour Party men turning in their graves at the thought of association with the likes of Brown,Blair and the rest of this rotten and corrupt crew.

Answer 4

I'm not anti-labour but look at the mess they made of it last time they had power in the 70s the only difference is the streets aren't filled with bin bags

Answer 5

The Labour Party divorced itself from its 'grass roots;That being representing the poor,ordinary working class about 1980!When they realised people had done really well out of the Conservatives! And their supporters were now living in private housing instead of Council Housing!So to court Middle England Peter Mendolson and others hit on the plan to woo Ford Mondeo man!This meant leaving the poor pensioner who are now 1/3 worse off than under the Conservatives and one parent family behind to concentrate on the ethnic minorities and protest fringe parties!If they say they are representing the working class they are telling lies!For example there are 10millionaires on their benches!

Answer 6

There's nothing working class about labour.  I have no idea what the intellectual core of labour is supposed to be these days.  

Their best idea for the next by-election is to have it when all the voters have left the Constituency.

Answer 7

The Labour party is a thing of the past, This present government are New Labour, a different party from the older labour party.

Answer 8

no not at all they work for the upper class Gordon brown needs to step down Blair didn't keep to his promises and brown has no clue whatsoever labour has brought our beloved England in to the tatters we are now experiencing

Answer 9

I don't see how - they are as middle class as they come and hate poor white Brits.

Answer 10

They do - but we know different!!

Answer 11

They are not by the evidence.

I did e-mail them last week asking them 'whom do they represent'

No answer back yet!

Answer 12

No. New Labour is now a centre right party pandering to middle class concerns and prejudices. There is very little ideological differences between Brown's and Blair's reinvention of the Labour Party and Cameron's Conservatives. To paraphrase Milton Friedman - they are all Thatcherites now.

It is time the trade union movement woke up to the fact that Brown and New Labour, especially in the light of Brown's remarks about trade unions at the G8 Summit, are biting the hand that feeds them financially. Trade Union members should demand that their union stop financing New Labour.

It is well beyond time for the working class to create a new working class party that takes in the realities of life in the C21st and represents their true interests, not the interests of a few professional politicians for whom party loyalty means nothing.
