RE FORM the LABOUR PARTY



                          The Labour party is Dead     πŸ’€

                           Long live the Labour party   ✊🌹

If we cannot save and reform Corbyn's Labour party then let us
                        Re  Form the Real Labour Party.

Back to its roots,

The party grew out of the Trades Union Movement and was founded in 1900 as the Labour Representation Committee.
Seeking a democratic,parliamentary route to power and reform.

The party throughout its history believed in Representative Parliamentary Democracy and eschewed revolutionary Marxism;particularly Bolshevism.

The two great pillars :
  • Elected control of Parliament   allied to a
  • Free and independent Trades Union Movement.
In the intra party battles through the 20th  century.
  • Individual Freedom always triumphed over Crude Collectivism
  • Reform over Revolution
  • Equality of opportunity over equality of outcome.
  • Independent thought over vanguard dictat
  • Regulated Capitalism and a mixed economy over Directed Choice
  • Open,rules based trade over autarky
  • Social democracy over Soviet,Cuban or Venezuelan  Authoritarianism 
In the immortal phrasing of Harold Wilson: Labour party philosophy owed 
                      "More to Methodism than to Marxism".

He also noted  


And        A week is along time in politics
              My friend, we don't support savages, we just allow them to come to our meetings,


The early 21st Century has  a different reality due to:

  • radical changes in the work place
  • instant mass communication                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Both the Party and the Unions hollowed out .

  • This,catalysed by the financial crisis of 2008,the incompetence and infighting  of Labour moderates,and the foolishness of Ed Miliband; has led to the Corbynistas take over. 
  • They have control of.the leader,the NEC ,many local branches and the party bureaucracy.
  • This will NOT now be reversed.πŸ˜–
  • They will continue to drive out sane and traditional Labour parliamentarians and members.
  • The war has been lost --and remarkably swiftly.
  • So be it.                                                                                                                                 The Way Forward
  •  Tom Watson,Yvette Cooper,Hilary Benn and Keir Starmer must lead 50-100 current   members of the Parliamentary Party into a new Grouping--The Real Labour Party.
  • Condemn the Corbyn party's antisemitism.  
  • Hammer their intolerance and sectarianism.
  • Call out Corbyn's and McCluskey's bullying and misogyny.
  • Hand the keys to Party HQ and its bank accounts to the BolshevikiπŸ‘Ί
  •  Demand a Peoples Poll on Brexit as a first unifying Parliamentary policy.
  • Organise a mass campaign around the poll,tolerance,individual freedom and opportunity.
  • Put a marker down against future referendum and for a restoration of Representative Parliamentary Democracy.
  • Pledge to reform the first past the voting system and
  • To replace the house of Lords with a democratic second chamber
  • Create a party structure  that includes the paying of membership fees,commitment to party principles and 
  • Which bans Bolsheviks,Trots,George Galloway and other non democratic entryists.
  • Seek affiliation from Trades Unions,environmentalist and other civil organisations on the basis that these organisations meet announced democratic criteria
  • That excludes Unite under McCluskey
Ed: Cyclops do you really expect a trades union to affiliate with such such a breakaway REAL LABOUR party?
Cyclops:  McClusky stole his election
                He is despised by most other Union Leaders
                The tradition of British Trades Unionism is Democratic.

Step 1     Unions call for reconciliation and unity
Step 2     They sit on the sidelines,withholding money from both Labour parties
Step 3     They push back against McCluskey's increasingly frantic hectoring
Step 4     They call on Corbyn  McDonnell    Abbott   or whoever leads the rump to "stand down"                      in  the interest of unity
Step 5     The first union leader decides it it safe to back REAL LABOUR
Step 6      Others follow
Step 7     Money and foot soldiers follow   
                

  • Decline membership from Ed Milliband but welcome all other former Labour leaders.
  • Eschew faux democracy in leadership and national posts.
  • Alright let Miliband in,provided he apologises for what he has wrought.😧
  • Only paid up,authenticated members get to vote on Anything πŸ™‹
  • Anywhere

Once established under these parameters,we can squabble amongst ourselves in a democratic and respectful way.



ED: Setting up this new party will very likely allow for another Tory government.😟

That is a less awful outcome than a government of anti semitic,infantile Bolsheviks.
Given that the Tories will also tear them selves apart in the next referendum campaign           who knows......πŸ˜‰

Also please note Ed:

  • The rules for precipitating an election have been changed.
  • Arcane for most of us ordinary punters but 
  • In 2011 the UK established fixed term parliaments
  • The next election is due in May 2022
  • Not now possible for the Prime Minister simply to pick a time convenient for her.
  • Needs a two thirds majority to dissolve parliament [that's what they call it in Uk--don't ask] 
  • Or a vote of no confidence.



  • Currently the Tories plus the Ulstermen have a narrow majority
  • Therefore can see off vote of no confidence.
  • An early election after the formation of Real Labour [or even a simple independent faction seated in the Commons] would destroy them,the Bolsheviks and probably the LDP.
  • They comprise about forty five per cent of the votes
  • To vote to dissolve would be suicide.
  • So they will not do it😁


That means there could be three years for Real Labour to 
                                      Organise,Agitate and Educate
A lot longer than Momentum needed to take over. .
There will be no shortage of donors or local foot soldiers to finance and organise the new party.

        


Tommy[Watson] me boyo lets do it  ✊🌹
