The Imploding Labour Party

With every day that passes, it is becoming clearer that the Labour Party may well be finished. Gordon Brown clings on relentlessly, even though everyone must know he is destroying the movement. And yet they are paralysed to stop him. I wonder why? My explanation is that the likes of David Milliband, James Purnell and Alan Johnson know they have nothing to say. They have no class or ideology they wish to give a voice to, and standing for an election would expose that emptiness. It's the same reason Gordon Brown didn't call an election in 2007: he could think of anything to say. Instead, they just prefer to limp on towards oblivion.
