Labour’s stance on the war in Gaza is simple electoral calculus. They might lose a few Palestinian votes but Trade Unions, students, health care workers aren’t going to stop voting for Labour. Labour know this.
It’s sad really, but that’s the way it works.
Couldn’t agree more. And the dumbest thing they could do right now is throw their vote away.
Your vote needs to be counted today, so that you can use it another day.
And also, if pro Peatinians think that Gaza will be solved with a simple walk to the polling station, then they haven’t a clue. It’s going to take hard work, toil and sacrifice.
I think they’re grossly overestimating their support on the Left. There’s no reason to vote for someone who won’t make the chances you know are necessary.
I think students and healthcare workers are more than capable of being completely disillusioned by Labour following the Tories further and further right and ending up not voting at all.
Do either of the main parties care though? what are they going to do? Join the BNP?
