Why Labour is Now A Fringe Party.

Mass immigration and closer EU integration have no public support, says Jeff Randall:

Of the 15.6 million people who voted, 84.3 per cent did not put a cross in Labour's box. How dare they! Who are these 13,244,063 ingrates? Right across southern England, from Penzance in Cornwall to Margate in Kent, more than 90 per cent of the electorate rejected the party of Gordon Brown. Even in Labour's redoubts of Scotland and Wales, close to 80 per cent turned away.

Worse still, Ukip, the party of Nigel Farage, a booze-and-fags-loving habitué of London's clubland, was preferred to the weary collective that clings to Mr Brown's presbyterian conscience. Mr Farage is an engaging maverick who says the Prime Minister "devalued democracy" by ramming through the Lisbon Treaty. Britain's increasingly Eurosceptic voters seem to agree.

Alistair Darling, the Big Borrower, fingered his party's poor communications. "We need to explain ourselves better," he said. "We need to set out clearly what we are for." Wrong again. His problem was that Labour had explained itself too well – and we, the coping classes, were appalled.

Voters had not failed to understand Labour's offer; quite the reverse. On Europe, they saw through Mr Brown's plan to dilute even further Britain's sovereignty, caving in to Brussels, while circumventing our views.

For You Gordon, Ze Dream Iss Over. Alles ist in Scheiße!
