Although Keir Hardie founded the Labour movement which led to the Labour Party as we know it he was never at ease at the way it was going and stayed in the I.L.P. which was often at odds withe Labour Party; since when although it is commonly referred to as the 'Socialist party it's always kept socialists at arms length. My local M.P. S.O. Davies, an old miners' leader was always in trouble with them; the last leading socialist, Aneurin Bevan, (with the exception of Tony Benn and Michael Foot) was always in trouble with the right wing Hugh Gaitskill, there shouldn't be right wingers in the Labour Party. We had Kinnock who distrusted left wingers, probably afraid that they would question the fortune that he built up, he led to Tony Blair who admired Margaret Thatcher, I suppose he's become a millionaire by now. Now that the Labour Party has a socialist at its head everyone, including the Parliamentary Labour Party, is scared stiff that this will lead us to socialism and the so called English ideal of fair play and rights for the disadvantaged. Perhaps it's because that in practice the Labour party was never voted for for its socialist ideals but moreso as a tool for the working class to selfishly move on, nothing to do with equality, more to do with the old song,'the working class can kiss my a***, I've got the foreman's job at last.
