Amazing as it may seem, the corpse of New Labour has risen from the dead, and is within a whisker of the Tories in the opinion polls. What was thought to be unthinkable a few short weeks ago is now a very real possibility: Labour may win enough seats to be the largest party, post general election. Being of a cynical nature, the English Radical Alliance wonders whether the Tories have deliberately eased off the pressure on Labour for this very reason. The government that comes to power later this year will inherit record debt and a collapsing currency – is that the kind of job offer YOU would take on? If the second and third placed parties – in this instance, Conservatives and Lib Dems – voted together, it is pretty apparent that Labour would be stymied at every turn, they would be in office but not in power. At some point, and with a rapidly crumbling economy (because the bad news isn’t all over yet folks!), Labour's position would become untenable, Gordon Brown would be dragged away frothing at the mouth - no change there, then - and another general election would have to be held. Labour is already on the ropes financially, whereas the Tories always seem to be able to find money from somewhere. A second general election within a year would just about see off an already weakened Labour party, leaving just the Tories and the Lib Dems. I'm sure that's a scenario they would both be happy with. Interesting times we live in.Whichever of the main parties gains the keys to Number 10 the result will still be the same. Cutbacks! Lack of investment! Lack of support for initiatives from the people of England! Multi-national businesses pulling the strings and more champagne on the career politician’s gravy train! Place the Tories under the microscope and they will be found wanting. Life in Tory England will mean people having to take pay cuts, and threatened with public service cuts and redundancies.  Ordinary people, young and old facing hardship, whilst the Tory hierarchy run by rich Public School boys and their party funded by billionaires will be lapping up the luxuries in their ivory towers away from the real world.England does not just need another party in Number 10 – it needs a party that’s going to deliver a new system. In the English Radical Alliance we are building that party.
