It has absolutely no idea how to deal with the many problems this country faces, usually preferring to contribute to them through methods that have failed countless times. <br /><br />The Left has much to be proud of - establishing the NHS, for example. Even as someone who defines himself as a right-of-centre libertarian, I think the Left can be proud of the minimum wage. I can't imagine that any government will dare scrap it. <br /><br />The Labour Party used to be filled with the workers. Now it's just filled with more of the rich who would previously have joined the Tory Party. Example - the postal workers strike. Led by the CWU, led by Bill Hayes, who earns £100k a year.
