I think figures not so long ago suggest the amount of people who dont bother voting was very high. Maybe they should have a buffet and karaoke at polling stations to increase the turn out. | |

Labour = a convocation of oddballs and sexual degenerates with precisely nothing in common with those whom they purport to represent. Nothing. Edit: x1000 for the SWP! [Post edited 17 Apr 2014 16:54]

If you want to put an exact, final date on the end of the Labour Party as it was originally conceived then 27th October 1931 would be it, Bryn. | |

I did ask ECB why, but he hasn't answered. The only thing I like about Kinnock is, he is regularly out of Wales. Wish he'd never come back. | |

You don't have to justify why you like him, but seeing as you told us you did, I am interested in why? I see nothing remotely likeable about him. A failed politician who took the EU shilling to participate in the gravy train. Another political chameleon who changes colours to suit his personal gain. A naturally orange Peter Hain. PS, if you post an opinion on here, you can expect someone to question it. I would have thought you understood that by now!! [Post edited 19 Apr 2014 17:51]

I don't see him as a failed politician. He dragged the Labour Party back from the brink of oblivion and made it electable again. Yes, he's a hypocrite, I'm not denying it, but show me a politician who isn't. | |

So he didn't lose an election he was favourite to win by making a clown of himself on a walk on a beach. He didn't walk away a loser? Not sure it was him who made Labour electable again either, not after the seafront episode. Being electable came later, after he had scuttled off. And there are very few politicians aren't hypocrites. Mostly the less successful ones! No one gets very far in Westminster if they aren't willing to sacrifice their ethics and morals. | |

You're wrong on a number of fronts. The "walk on the beach" was in 1987, an election Labour was never going to win in a million years. The winnable election was 1992. If Kinnock can be blamed for losing that in it was an ill-advised triumphalist speech at a rally in Sheffield a few days before polling day that did it. I've no doubt he regrets that. He definitely made Labour electable. The party was in complete self-destruction mode in 1983 when he took over. For better or worse he dragged it back towards the centre ground, got rid of the extremists and made what John Smith and later Blair did to bring the party back to government possible. Labour's return to government wouldn't have been possible without Kinnock. | |

The Kinnock Empire on 19:10 - Apr 20 with 2351 views | Catullus | No, it was Smith made Labour electable. Kinnock was, and still is, perceived as a clown; a Welsh boot who did Wales about as many favours as Edward the first!! I've heard political commentators say Labour had a chance until that walk on the beach. Kinnock leaving was a good day for Labour as Smith was taken much more seriously. | |

You're wrong. On pretty much everything. It's not even a matter of opinion when you play fast and loose with the facts like you are. In 1987 the Tories were defending a majority of about 130 against a Labour Party which had spent the past four years tearing itself apart. They were never going to win. There was a danger early on of them coming third in the popular vote behind the SDP/Liberal Alliance. They didn't, but only polled 31% (I think) and the Tories won in another landslide. Show me a political commentator who claimed that Labour had any chance of winning in 1987 and I'll show you an idiot. John Smith continued the work Kinnock had started. It was Kinnock who expelled the extremists and carried out a root and branch review of every policy with the stated aim of dragging the party kicking and screaming to the centre left. It's laughable to credit Smith with making Labour electable again when he was only leader for two years before he died. So, in short, you're wrong. | |
