I
feel like Lear on the heath. As the Republican Convention meets they
are guarded by 2,500 police in a state where open gun carrying is a
"right". Meanwhile here Owen Smith and Angela Eagle line
up to support Trident as their first act to convince us they
represent ordinary people and bugger Socialism. It's really simple
to me. If you belong to a party then you select the candidate at
each election. There is no reason that the Labour party should be
different we do it in the Green party.
T
here
is another simple point. Political parties are there to campaign and
bring their issues to the general public and campaigns for them. The
political parties role is not to except racism because the majority
of the public do. The role of a political party is to educate,
campaign and shape the debate. Twenty years ago as leader of the
Welsh Green party I campaigned for 20 mph speed limits outside of
schools. Most people and established parties said it was impossible
to achieve now it's a outlook. Standard “moderate political
parties” under late capitalism has political culture controlled by
the press and the right-wing media and this creates right wing ideas
among 75% of the population. It is the role of radical parties to
change the outlook, challenge the discourse and campaign in the
communities explaining their outlook and philosophy and to properly
inform the electorate by giving alternatives to the “common sense”
approach of the Sun and Daily Mail. If the parliamentary Labour
party want to provide a slightly less Sun lite and austerity lite
policy they must form their own Party and cooperate with the Liberal
Democrats. Over the last 30 years the proportion of the electorate
understanding sustainability and green ideas has grown. That has not
been achieved by going along with the popular press and the sheer
naked ambition of Blair like politicians. I look at Angela Eagle and
Owen smith and I see a lack of passion, a dead soul and naked
ambition. What was that phrase I recall “As cold asa Lizard and as
ambitious as Lucifer”
Oh
and by the way I heard a claim last week that I was a Labour Party
spy....and in Turkey a coup is attempted in the evening all the coups
I have ever heard about always start at dawn. Erdogan has found his
Trotsky and lost 14 of his ships. Still a fake coup is always a way
to enhance ones power......perhaps I am Lear Kent and
Fool........perhaps its just too warm.
And my good friend Armand Watts tells me lightly and mischievously
that they consider me a “triple agent” hehe I like that “Give
me back the Berlin Wall, give me Stalin and St Paul.”
