And so it begins. And not with the statements of the candidates today, apparently. It started at PMQ’s. Or so the media, and Owen Smith, seem to think.
Having listened to PMQ’s, and the cut and paste versions put out by a variety of media sources, what is very clear is that the two sides of politics is becoming ever clearer.
Jeremy Corbyn asked serious, sensible questions of the leader of a party that has now been in power for over 6 years. Not one question was answered directly, or honestly, or with any form of respect for those that Theresa May stated she was the PM to care for. Instead, as if by some strange osmosis of the post, the broo-ha-ha bollocks arose through her.
So she can crack a joke, but only at the expense of the vast swathes of people in this country who are struggling. So she can get the boys behind her to return to the playground and bellow unintelligibly as they have for years. So much for change. ‘Animal Farm’ reborn.
And it proves what? That Jeremy Corbyn can’t cope at PMQ’s? No. It proves that, whilst there is one man attempting to present a more reasoned and honest approach to politics, the Tories, and too many of the Parliamentary Labour Party, seem unwilling, incapable or potentially uncaring about moving forward from their ‘games’ and start to do what they claim to be there for – represent and work for ALL the people in this country.
Sadly, there seems little or no shame across large sections of the padded benches of MPs. And they wonder why so many are disillusioned with politicians.
However, when more people join the Labour Party in 1 day than the Tories total party membership, there may be a glimmer. As long as, when the mandate is clear, as it was before, the PLP honour their party membership and get on with the real job.
I have a feeling that, in the depths of the Tory party machine, moves are being made to ensure that membership can be kept as low as possible. After all, if they had a surge like the Labour Party, they may have to act more like a democratic organisation, and less like the props for an elite.
