"Labour Party is a democratic socialist party." Hard to believe, but so reads the New Labour Party's vision statement.
Let's remember what socialism stands for. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, socialism is "a political and economic theory of social organization which holds that a country's land, transport, natural resources, and chief industries should be owned or controlled by the community as a whole."
The former prime minister Tony Blair and his money crazed wife Cherie have just added a £4 million country house to their existing portfolio of five properties paid by the proceeds of Cherie's vulgar biography, Tony's financial jobs and other spoils of public service.
Not bad for a couple of socialists.
The Blairs set a fine example of conviction politicians and conduct themselves in the spirit of a democratic socialist party. Labour's vision statement concludes: "The values Labour stands for today are those which have guided it throughout its existence: social justice, strong communities, reward for hard work, decency and rights matched by responsibilities. We stand for the many not the few."
Enough said!
