Post election: what should Labour do now?
I was astounded to find the above survey on Labour Home, not by the results (which are not surprising if it is a councillor who has recently lost his/her seat, a disillusioned activist or a Labourite pounding the streets of Crewe), but by the fact they actually put the survey on their website.
It seems that respondents can answer multiple questions, e.g. 49% (66 people) voted to sack Gordon and 33% (45) to keep him. There is also clear opposition in this survey to 42 day detention and a wish to have a new Labour HQ Team, as well as a split between a ‘new left-centred radicalism’ and ‘new thinking’ in policy and little appetite for ‘unremittingly new Labour’. Who would blame them?
Most notably, nearly half of respondents (i.e Labour activists) would like to see Gordon Brown sacked. What will happen to him in the days after Crewe & Nantwich is now anyone’s guess.

The Intention is that there will not be anymore elections in the UK.
The EU has its constitution, its flag, It’s National Anthem, What use is Westminster anymore.
