LU are no better than Respect in terms of divisiveness and condoning certain forms of hate (against Jews, specifically), and they’d drive the left away from a party. Not a sensible suggestion – any left-wing blanket party needs to avoid that sort of thing, and the reality is that FPTP means it’s a waste of time anyway – they’d all be better off camp aiming for voting reform.

And Labour are plain right wing these days. The idea that there would be a Labour-Tory coalition is laughable, though.

Oh right, you find a couple of people who might go your way if you threaten them and call it good.

All those you have mentioned need to get together form one left of center party and then fight to win seats, at the moment these are so broken and they are never going to get MP’s.

Labour today are a broken left of center center right bunch who are more interested in power for power sake then making a difference to peoples lives.

The fact is Miliband and Cameron as so close in polices and political out look they may even end up together in a coalition.

TUSC

Socialist GB

Class War

The Left Unity Party

That are the true progressives against austerity, against the end of the welfare state and against a privatised NHS.

Someone will pay for listening to the same hackneyed old ideas that have not worked and make the poor ever poorer?

Donate to a foodbank now offering fuel vouchers as well, instead.
