Voted for them at the local election. May take more time than I have left on this earth (and my descendants) but the more votes they get the more influence. http://www.tusc.org.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks for that TBT. If they have someone standing in my constituency in the next locals they will get my vote.

But you wonder what on earth has happened to the left. It seems there's a canyon-sized void in the political spectrum between the Greens and Labour, which no one is daring to fill. Labour has abandoned and betrayed us, the time when they can be trusted to represent workers is long gone. It's time to kickstart a new trades union movement for the 21st century, and fight the ideological evils of neoliberalism on all fronts. If the unions were to disband from Labour and form their own party for the working class i'd probably vote for them. Until that happens it's Greens all the way for me.
I'd welcome the time the trade unions formed their own political party and pulled the plug on labour support and funding. The labour left would move onboard the new party leaving the others to swim for it into the ConDems arms. I would vote Green if we had PR but we don't and a protest vote is a wasted vote when the ConDems are about. There still is just enough of a difference between ConDems and Labour for me not to want ConDems in again & I will vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Those at the top of the Labour party don't get my vote but my own Labour MP is deserving of it. :wave

If Scotland votes for Independence, England will be under Tory rule forever. :dcfo
Just imagine, 'Red' Len McClusky as Prime Minister... :crazy:
