Also, their scorched earth electoral tactics made sure North Devon now has a Tory council for the first time ever. <BR/><BR/>They're reactionary and opportunistic, and the likes of Derek Wall should stop giving them a left face they don't deserve and help build a real left alternative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287999849939481621.post-57180905473290356442007-05-02T20:04:00.000-07:002007-05-02T20:04:00.000-07:00Happy Belated May Day.Happy Belated May Day.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287999849939481621.post-63015880760589095392007-04-29T22:26:00.000-07:002007-04-29T22:26:00.000-07:00The Greens in Germany when in power, cut social se...The Greens in Germany when in power, cut social services worse than the right.Frank Partisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536211653082893030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287999849939481621.post-51851238946161686492007-04-28T18:57:00.000-07:002007-04-28T18:57:00.000-07:00You said:"Ultimately the greens in kirklees are pr...You said:<BR/>"Ultimately the greens in kirklees are pro-capitalist with a green tinge"<BR/>Same in Scotland mate and I think the same all over the UK. The only supporters of them I've met amongst working class people outside the Green party recently have been rabid "the world is doomed unless we drop democracy, worker's rights and other 'luxuries'in favour of a Green dictatoship" types. Unfortunately some on th left still look to the Grens as being something credible. Ah well. Some poor sods are still trying to reclaim the Labour party as well.
