The New Labour Project

The global nature of the financial crisis was really bad news for New Labour. Harking back for many of their policies to the Labour Party of the immediate post WW2 years, the New Labour Project had two objectives. The first was to seize power by any means. As I have pointed out before, Blair noticed that there are no actual checks on the abuse of Executive power and so based his political strategy on lying. He would be all things to all men and say exactly what anyone wanted to hear. Once in power he would do what he wanted not what he had promised unless there was some purely circumstantial overlap.

The second stage was the actual policies he would enact once in power (bearing in mind personal enrichment was a powerful driver too). These policies were based around holding on to power long enough that they could change Britain irreversibly in directions of their choosing. Believing they were carrying through the promise of earlier Labour, class warfare was promulgated and supported, housing was pushed whether required or not (though with unchecked immigration, they probably knew the need would be high), rewarding those who support them and gerrymandering elections as if by right and doing everything possible to destroy traditional Britain.

Despite the clear evidence that the Welfare State has manifestly failed and caused a great many problems, Labour feel that a big state, running everything and bestowing favours on any part of the populace that pleases them is the natural order of things. Labour (whether New Lying or not) have always stood first and foremost for the destruction of Britain. The proof is everywhere; the break up of the UK, the lack of respect for the Queen, that Blair was the Head of State and the closeness to the EU. This latter of course is also a Marxist construct, to hide the real purpose whilst democracy is still allowed to 'interfere', so they are natural partners.

When Labour say they want to be in power for long enough to make real change in Britain, what they mean explicitly is that they will change things not for the better, not for the benefit of the people or economic advancement, but only in the interests of Labour and a big state. Also, the objective is to make such big changes that they become irreversible and Britain becomes the Marxist state they desire. In the Forties, some of the Labour politicians worried that some of what was proposed was not democratic. That was the idea though, Labour are anti-democratic and now don't even have the worriers in their midst. They are also not Socialists.

That this destruction of a traditional nation was coming along nicely when a financial crisis came knocking, brought out into the open what Blair and his henchmen (principally Brown who was 'recklessly' borrowing on purpose as part of the policy) were up to. Labour have had two goes at turning this country into Soviet Russia, will will let them try again?
