I can see the possibility of a split in the Labour party and a new party being formed similar to the SDP in the eighties.

The bulk of Labour voted in favour with the government on the welfare bill. Makes me wonder if that ex-labour guy on the radio is right about labour now being a right wing party.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-10403340.html

This is how a friend sees the state of the party's.

Extreme Right wing
BNP 5/5
EDL 5/5

Right wing
UKIP 4/5
Conservative 3/5
Labour 2/5

Centre
?

Centre left
LibDems 2/5

Left wing
Greens 5/5

He rates it in a block of five how far the party's are in that block, he had the Conservatives on 4/5 until they went in favour of gay marriage.

He may have a point I too feel so far there is no party in the centre ground.

I'd have Labour more center since half the party is Blair Right, and the other half is Kinnock Left and both are pulling in seperate directions and tearing the party apart.

Think its possible that if Corbyn does get in, the Blairite group might splinter and form their own party?

STEED · 07-24-15, 10:22 AM

I have been wondering if we will see a break away party from Labour as jim said we saw the SDP come about before it joined forces with the Liberals then as we know it went all the way to become the LibDems.

Just to add my mate dose change those figures every so often depending on the party's.

Too me looking at the big three you got coke, coke life, coke diet just nothing really to separate them.

Only the Greens seem to stand clear on Dr Pepper so to say.

Getting back to the labour leadership I picked up on this comment from the comments section on SKY.

Quote:

The truth is that none of the candidates have what it takes to have credibility on the world stage

And I have to say I agree with this, on saying that I don't think the new LibDems leader has it and when Cameron steps down nor do I see anyone in the Tories.

When Dave steps down the big shark in the water will be Boris, and God help us all if he gets a hold of Downing Street.

Possibly shipmate, from where I stand atm, all parties are a shower. If Boris gets in, if nothing else it will be entertaining. He will be undeniably outspoken, stupid, blonde (if not bald) and a complete twonk. Hmmm quite similar in all but policies to everyone I feel.

I can't disagree with that.

I dunno, with taxi prices these days he probably wouldn't have got it much cheaper.
