If you've read my other blogs, I'm no fan of Lord (Jezuz!) Mandelson.
But, one brave fella calling in to BBC Five live said it all. He said something like:
Look at this so-called party of the people. Their most prominent politicians are all
un-elected Lords.
Lord Adonis is the Minister of Transport. There's Baroness ___(I forget)
[pic - politics.co.uk, Lord Adonis- no adonis, here]
[pic - politics.co.uk, Lord Adonis- no adonis, here]and then Lord-about-town Mandelson, is the Joker.
How can this country ever reform itself when the elected government
chooses to rely on people who haven't stood for election?
There were always Labour lords. It's bizarre, but true.
It's only in the last 5 years that they've taken over the party.
They've gotten accustomed to things as they are.
They were convinced by Blair that, with Thatcherite
policies and money from the unions, he and the lords could
fool the British public together.
Here's the trick.
All they have to do is warn the working public about how conservative
the Conservatives are. This is true, but Labour is also
Thatcherite. Not Thatcher-lite, Thatcher-bloody-ite.
So, the people, full of fear, are supposed to vote Labour.
Every so often, like yesterday, that will cease to work.
