There has been a terrible (or is it an embarassed) silence about the election in Britain from comrades "over there" or "up there". I have been following events thru the Guardian online. The Liberals appear to be wetting themselves with joy at the performance of Nick Clegg in the televised debate with Cameron and Brown. The polls show the Lib-Dems have finally overtaken the Labour Party. With the First Past the Post voting system in place that could mean, I think, the wiping out of large sections of the Labour Party MPs. I am tempted to call that a consummation devoutly to be wished, but the thought of a resurgent Lib Dems or worse a Tory government is enough to make me quite sick. Not that the idea of another year or so looking at Brown doesn't make me look for the chuck bucket either. Why are things so bad? When oh when will the working class turn and fight? comradely Gary ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
