The political crisis in Britain that emerged through the MP expenses
scandal has accelerated the crisis in the Labour party. Last week 6
ministers resigned from Gordon Brown’s cabinet, severely undermining what
little authority New Labour had left. In the european elections New Labour
has suffered it’s worst election result in history, losing areas like
Wales and Scotland for the first time since 1918. The BNP has emerged with
2 MEPs.
What do the events of the past few weeks mean as the Britain enters the
deepest economic crisis since the second world war? Are they merely a
convenient distraction from the real economic issues? How does this
benefit the ruling class and what are the benefits for the Conservative
party? Do Labour MPs have no confidence in Gordon Brown, or no confidence
in the consequences of Gordon Brown going?
