由 Tariq阿里 | 力量可能塑造「真相」，但不為。 那是可能是博學的從選舉失敗系列指示新的勞方的失重的霸權的結尾的一個教訓。 有事奇怪關於布朗的每日指斥由核心部分Blairites在議會和他們的媒介輔祭，幾乎沒有說出批評的詞，當國家被扯拽了入二場戰爭，并且新的勞方美化了Thatcherite社會和經濟議程，現在要求布朗撤除。 好像他的撤除和替換由機器人Blairite (甚而Miliband前輩、Purnell，并且，足够可笑， Milburn鑒於此被提及)將使用竅門。

布朗在新的辛苦項目充分地被牽連了并且資助了它的亢奮軍國主義。 他是太微弱的以至於不能通過撤出英國的隊伍甚而仿造Zapatero在西班牙和Rudd在澳洲從伊拉克。 反而，他的一個蛇神在世界的大學構想了出兵日可憐的想法慶祝軍國主義和鼓勵中途輟學者佔去殺害外國人作為他們的主科和畢業生或者死。

新的勞方的时间到的事實是。 1997年當它來供給揮動動力英國國旗，社會風景由Thatcherism已經擊毀了。 被解除管制的金融公司的生殖器的建築學控制了城市，老紳士，并且他們的舒適網絡被寄售了對俱樂部區。 硅和配藥企業，資助由日本和美國首都和免疫反對工會運動，閹割由狀態，沿M4走廊西南發芽了從倫敦和讀書。

老紡織品鎮減少了到公墓的狀態; 鐵和鋼鐵製品被耕了對瓦礫。 老工人階級是死的。 在類財富和力量轉讓，撒切爾主義和它的neocon新的辛苦崇拜者是突出地成功的。 在布萊爾或布朗歲月期間，財富差距增加了。 許多現金飢餓的公共事業在私有手建立了。 學校和醫院繼續惡化。 因為鐵路私有化證明了一個災害，新的辛苦「基礎」認為怎樣選擇的「革命」可能私有化健康和教育。

From the start New Labour was pledged to consolidate the Thatcherite paradigm rather than offer anything different. Blair’s model was to depoliticize Labour (and the electorate) by preaching against the sin of “ideology” (i.e. social democracy) in the name of a new, beyond left-and-right, trendy Starbucks-style capitalism. And so it was decreed that Labour should become little more than a British version of the US Democratic Party with cheerleaders and all, though it is more reminiscent of the Republicans. Domestically, Brown would aim for fiscal-surplus levels usually only demanded of the Third World, to be ameliorated by a few low-cost anti-poverty measures.

While all this was going on there was little opposition within the Labour Party or the major trades unions. As long as they were in power with over-sized, if unrepresentative majorities, the brothers and sisters might grumble a bit in private, but power was what really mattered. Look at them now as they squeal in anguish at the thought that they might lose their jobs. Members of the Cabinet who have helped deregulate the country will find something or the other if the economy doesn’t collapse, but for New Labour cannon-fodder the world outside the bubble offers little hope. It’s too late now. They should accept that the party’s over. Desperate squabbling to retain power at all costs without any political principle involves will not endear them to the electorate and is unrealistic in any case.

As for Gordon Brown, he may be a lame-duck prime minister, but he could still do something decent. After all, he has nothing to lose now except his job. He could withdraw British troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and, like the Irish Republic, permit a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. Worth remembering that Blair’s massive majorities were the product not of voter enthusiasm but of a winner-takes-all electoral system, which helped to mask the collapse of the Conservatives, the country’s historic party of government. The Tory recovery is a sign of how low New Labour has fallen and marks its end.

Brown could push through two constitutional measures badly needed at home: a fully elected second chamber and proportional representation. It might help reverse a growing alienation of the young from the political process. Were he to realize that he owes the country something, he might still make the history books and as more than an accessory to war crimes.
