I've been following all the discussions about the future of the Labour Party and tend to agree that the Unions should breakaway and start their own party. As the party for the 'Workers'.
But who are the workers?
Many traditional labour voters have left the party because they have become more aspirational. They say we own our own homes, our children have had a good education and have good jobs. The media have added to this desire for more material things. We have better health care etc. So lean more to the right and no longer want to be identified with the worker's party. "My old man's a dustman" etc.
Forget about the fact that many of these improvements came from Labour. Apart from Thatcher's sneaky plan for people to buy their council houses.
So how to get these previous Labour supporters to return?
