It comes around on here quite regularly, what is working class, what is middle class. I don’t accept that if you work you’re working class, I‘m sure the governor of the Bank of England works hard, I’m pretty sure he’s not working class.
As a life long Labour Party member and supporter I’m struggling to see what we stand for and how we appeal to the people who should be voting for us. It’s easy to see everything that’s wrong with the Tories right now. But that’s not enough, it’s like going into a football match knowing the opposition have a dodgy keeper, but if you don’t have a decent formation and striker of your own you’ll never win.
Im not sure what the answer is, but we need to appeal to Ingleby Berwick Person, they are the type of people we lost. I suspect strong policies on education, healthcare, crime, pensions are the old staples that will still appeal if pitched properly. But they’re also aspirational people and we’ve got to somehow appeal to their desires for house ownership, share holdings and foreign holidays etc while separating ourselves from the Tories and maintaining our fundamental principles. We’ve a long way to go.
