What a mess the Labour government is in. The problems just pile up – proposed welfare cuts followed by a humiliating U-turn, a lot of its active supporters hacked off by its outlawing of Palestinian Action, the court system bursting at the seams, the small boats that keep coming, and now doctors threatening to strike over pay. They just can’t do right for doing wrong.
But that’s the fate of all governments of capitalism. True, it’s happening sooner than most for this one. But getting a system riven with contradictions and at the mercy of ‘market forces’ to work in a way that keeps them popular with the electorate is doomed to failure, and usually ends in electoral defeat.
