WELL, MAYBE NOT ?...

The events of yesterday concerning the issues surrounding the Labour Party have given rise to a curious situation.   The Equality and Human Rights Commission issued their findings following months of investigation into alleged anti-Semitism within the Labour Party.  The EHRC found the party was responsible for three breaches of the Equality Act.  The first was political interference in regard to anti-Semitism complaints; the second was failure to provide adequate training for those handling anti-Semitism complaints; and harassment, including the use of anti-Semitic tropes and suggesting that complaints of anti-Semitism were fake or smears.

As a result of of the comments he made concerning the report, former Leader Jeremy Corbyn has been temporarily suspended from the party and it remains to be seen what other, if any action is taken against the party so I won`t speculate any further.

But the curious situation which has emerged - it was probably there anyway but has now been confirmed and heightened thanks to the EHRC report - is that the electors of this country are now faced with a really rather depressing choice as to which political party, if any, to vote for.

The choice seems to have come down to a party which is probably now unelectable; one which is clearly incompetent; another which is wholly irrelevant; and a few at the fringes which are languishing in the Isthmian League of the political pyramid.  And you wonder why I probably won`t bother, even if I`m still around in 2024 ?
