LABOUR'S DAMASCENE CONVERSION

Labour's defeated MPs and their instant Damascene conversion
back to the values of New Labour will, come the 2020 general
election, have little traction with sceptical voters'
ingrained memories of the catastrophic economic failure of the leftist Brown
government. Had David and not Ed Miliband been
elected in 2010 by democratic process instead of union
diktat, the younger sibling would not have had his "I'm
not Tony Blair" moment and the  outcome of this general election could
have been different. Free-market economic liberalism and
wealth creation - marks of New Labour - will always triumph over Marxism in the
fiercely competitive global economy. Growing the size of the national cake
is more productive than cutting it into ever smaller pieces.
