Reply #96: I'm sorry Michael but I don't think that I can

[American Tragedy]

Normally I would. I recognize that the Labour party is our natural ally, but I now believe that it is important to set a historical precedent by electorally punishing Tony Blair, especially now that we have failed to do so here.

If millions of former Labour constituents vote for Kennedy, and cite the Iraq invasion as their motivation, it will force all future British prime ministers to consider more carefully whether they can politically afford to invest carelessly in a war.

Indeed, such a powerful rejection may even reverberate across the ocean to our own misguided citizens. That dissent might finally fracture the freeper myth that Brits are spiritually with the Americans on this.

Whatever happens, we need yall desperately, and I'm glad you're here. Keep us informed here on DU about the political situation in the UK.


By the way, what specifically did you mean when you said that some Lib Dem policies are right-wing?
