New
Labour Revival Of Socialism Mocked By SNP MSP
Wendy
Alexanders long awaited big ideas speech at the Labour
Party in Scotland conference in Aviemore has been ridiculed
by press and opponents alike.
In
an attempt to stop the relentless decline in the Labour
Party fortunes the embittered Labour leader in Scotland,
Wendy Alexander, presented New Labour in the image of past
generations of socialists.
This
brought ridicule on top of the Paisley MSP who is better
known for her illegal attempts to solicit donations from
foreign based business speculators than promoting social
justice in Scotland.
Michael
Matheson, SNP MSP for Falkirk West said,
I
wonder what the Tory Councillors who are in a formal coalition
with New Labour in Falkirk Council make of their surrogate
leaders pledge to return to socialist roots?
I
have no doubt they will claim that Labours actions
speak louder than their words and as Labour have recently
confirmed PFI as their method of funding public services,
voted against abolishing Higher Education fees, Prescription
Charges and against building more council houses Labour
as right wing as they have always been.
Wendy
Alexanders speech was one of the most cynical political
speeches I have ever heard from any political leader.
She
is and always has been a Labour moderniser which is code
for right wing Tory. She was the minister who lectured Labour
members on the benefits of the free market against traditional
socialist values.
She
is the Labour leader who has opposed restoring traditional
values such as fully publicly owned and run National Health
Services against Labours creeping privatisation.
Labour
are in trouble, their traditional heartlands such as Falkirk
West are turning to the SNP and they have lost over one
third of their own membership in recent years>
However,
you can fool some of the people all the time but Wendy Alexander
is fooling no one with her belated rendition of the red
flag.
Ian
McWhirter the award winning journalist of the Herald laid
bare Labours hypocrisy in an excellent article for
which a link has been provided below.
