NEW SOCIALIST PARTIES
The banned video made by TUSC (Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition) not broadcast on any TV Channel for the May 22 council elections, can be viewed on my personal website's home page:
Mebyon Kernow of Cornwall offered to cut management salaries and pay all its basic grade staff a living wage, as do it without raising council tax.
Left Unity Party did quite well in the dozen council elections they ran candidates in, bearing in mind only held their very first national conference end March 2014.
The problem is that there are lots of little socialist parties with deep divides within them.
With a Free Scotland (offers socialism to Scottish vulnerable, elderly, unemployed and working poor) after September's referendum, Labour has insufficient MPs to form a government in 2015 general election. There are Scottish socialist parties within the Yes Campaign.
HOW LABOUR COULD FEED ALL EVERY DAY?
An obvious idea is to split Labour up and the real socialists, against Austerity Cuts, Bedroom Tax, and all welfare reform, to use their expertise to bring together all the little socialist parties, to form the real Labour party back to the founders of Labour at the turn of the 20th Century. Like Mr Tspiras managed to form SY.RIZ.A in Greece that has done so well.
Labour has time before the 2015 general election.
The New Labour (Progress) part of Labour could join the Tory party and run as Tory MPs / councillors, including the two Eds, Ed Balls and Ed Miliband.
Especially as Ed Miliband views English politics through an American political website and has said he never reads UK media direct, but relies on aides to also keep him updated when some are Americans.
Americans do not believe in the welfare state at all, let alone social medicine.
TUSC already has a chairman who is an ex-Labour MP.
Current Labour councillors cannot vote against council cuts budgets, because they are sacked from the Labour party.
It was New Labour who began welfare reform, brought in Atos, invented the Bedroom Tax and began the benefits sanctions regime even on the sick and disabled, in 13 years of rule before 2010. This lost Labour the 2010 general election, because Labour voters just folded up their arms and voted for no party. The need for food banks began under Labour, as far back as 2005.
The Greens did Austerity in the one council The Greens rule, Brighton.
But the trade unions are the kingmakers. It is their millions of pounds in donations to Labour that is keeping that New Labour going (a third of a billion pounds in last 30 years).
New Labour winning next year will be a disaster for millions of people, by continuing Tory spending plans, welfare reform and benefit sanctions, WCA and all that is causing great suffering.
Amongst trade union membership are the half of women who are within the working poor and the half of women who work for the public sector, yet losing two thirds of the jobs under Austerity.
