Surely if you understand our position at all you see that those of us on the left hate you, apologists for capitalism, almost as much as we hate new labour and the conservatives. <br /><br />To the extent that any socialists have thrown their lot in with the lib dems, it's either because we think keynesianism capitalism is less awful than thatcherism, or because we support electoral reform. Who is it who's trying to tell you we're on the same side!?<br /><br />I mean, I understand why you lump hard labour and the conservatives together: you think of the establishment as the government and it's tentacles. But surely you see that those of us who think of the establishment as corporations, and the government as it's spear-carrier and occasional turncoat, do the same for you and the conservatives.<br /><br />Liberalism has always been the enemy of socialism, if the Blairites are making overtures at you, isn't that because they aren't socialists anymore, rather than because they see liberalism as training-wheels democratic socialism?Verdancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062788738549767062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22974616.post-85482116880168672952010-04-26T03:27:39.614+01:002010-04-26T03:27:39.614+01:00I'm a U.S. friend of Jennie.

While there was a huge personality difference between Cameron (has one) and Brown (nil), their positions seemed not that far apart--at least compared to Clegg. I voted for Obama, and I'd love to see Clegg join him on the international stage. I thought a black man with relatively little political experience could never get elected here, but look where we are now!Cassandra Verthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288396111560625064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22974616.post-24048580424526508702010-04-26T02:52:55.383+01:002010-04-26T02:52:55.383+01:00I love you.

I could see it making sense for us to support some sort of deal with Labour were they to get rid of all their front bench, but that's never happening. On the other hand the Tories are just repulsive and I can't see any situation where it could ever make sense to support them.<br />A plague on both their houses. Let the war criminals and the idiot sons of privilege go into coalition with each other. They deserve each other.Andrew Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412263807838661843noreply@blogger.com
