I never said the LibDems were the far left; I said that Labour was leaving the far left to the LibDems. As opportunistic as they may be, they're not going to appear on the far right; so the far left is theirs, if they want it (and, being opportunists, they probably will take it). Labour knows it can't hold the extremes and the centre, so it decided to ignore them.
The only good thing about the Conservatives in power at present is that they wouldn't actually be capable of doing anything without self-destructing along the way. | Ah, sorry misinterpretation. The far left still have the Socialist Alliance if the SWP would stop trying to cripple it for its own personal reasons, though.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
