Whither the big parties?
Via Letters From A Tory, I see that Raedwald has been speculating that the reforms engendered by the expenses scandals might lead to a serious restructuring of party politics.
Well, I think that I can guess. Despite Raedwald's contention that "the public mood has now turned unequivocally away from any suggestion of State funding", I am afraid that these thieving cunts still haven't realised this. Or, possibly they have realised it, and they just don't give a shit.
Because here is an article by James Purnell at CiF: can you guess what he says?
You know what, James, you thieving bastard? You go fuck yourself, why don't you? Go fuck yourself with a big, splintery stick wrapped in barbed wire, salt and lemon juice. Go on: fuck off and get fucked.
Or, as Longrider so eloquently puts it...
Unethical? Sounds like standard Labour policy to me...
Attention will now start to shift to the state of the parties. With an electorate in the UK of 45m, the combined membership of the three main parties barely exceeds 450,000, or 1% of the electorate.
...
So what will become of the big, central, Statist parties with their hunger for vast sums of cash?

Amid the current anger at politicians and politics we must bite the bullet of state funding for political parties...

No, no, no! A thousand times, NO!
If a party cannot secure funding from people who want to support it because they believe in its values, then it fails, pure and simple. I do not support the core values of the three main parties, I therefore do not want a penny of my money used to fund their election campaigns. Parties survive or die because of their grass roots support. If they alienate that support, then they must pay the price. I used to be a Labour party member and happily paid my membership fees. When I realised that the Labour party did not share my standards of ethical behaviour, I withdrew that support. I’ll be damned if they should take it back by force, which is what Purnell is proposing. This is highly unethical.
