The fact that they're better than Blair seems no reason to support them. Sure, the elected set are pretty terrible but that seems to no reason to run to the unelected lot in my opinion - instead it seems like more of a reason to get rid of the lot of them. Ah well, thats just me and my socialism for you...
To add to Groj's list of parties is also the Respect coalition with Galloway (crap) and the Socialist Green Unity coalition (good!). All very Judean People's Front, I know, but it worries me that the chief electoral challenge from the left of Labour this election is coming from a man who's anti-abortion, pro-death penalty and pro-immigration limits. As far as I'm concerned being anti-war is not enough to make you left wing. You actually have to, err, like, support other socialist policies as well...
