The whole political spectrum moved right in the local and London elections as voters punished New Labour for ten years of privatisation and warmongering.
The whole of the left is paying for New Labour's failure to defend its core working class voters. We now have a right wing mayor and a Nazi presence on the London Assembly.
Ken Livingstone is the biggest victim of this shift. But Livingstone also brought this defeat on himself. When he ran against New Labour as an independent after he was kicked out of the Labour Party eight years ago he won by a landslide. When he rejoined New Labour and fought his second election four years ago he got back in with a reduced vote.
But at the end of this campaign with its endorsements from Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Alistair Campbell, the City of London and with Tessa Jowell as his campaign manager, he has been beaten by the Tories.

 Left List mayoral candidate Lindsey German spoke at the Love Music Hate
Racism carnival this Sunday at Victoria Park in East London, where
100,000 came out to hear not only the music, but the anti-BNP message.
Lindsey
said, "I was at the first Rock Against Racism carnival in 1978 and I'm
coming again to stop the fascist ideas of the BNP. But we need to do
more than protest. We need to build an alternative for those who have
been betrayed by New Labour. That's why I'm standing for the Left List
in the GLA elections, because we are providing that alternative."

The Guardian is so pro-Ken that its printing bill should be part of Livingstone's election expenses. But it's a bit much when they start censoring the letters page against any criticism of Ken.
Take a look at these two versions of Lindsey German's letter that appeared in the Guardian today. The first, as she sent it, makes our case against Ken as well as calling for a second preference vote for Ken to stop Boris. But it has been printed in the Guardian with all the criticism taken out.
The Left List has complained to the Guardian editor, the NUJ and the Press Complaints Commission insisting that whether this action is a result of political bias or sloppy editing, it must be reversed. |
