Labour Going Broke?

There's an interesting article HERE about the Labour Party's financial difficulties. Fresh from the dubious MPs' and other funding matters that were in the news last month (though all seems to have gone very quiet on that) this close tie-up with the Trade Unions is apparently already well in progress.

I wouldn't want the Labour Party to be bankrupted and dissolved, even though it is their own fault, but this new move -- though perhaps predictable -- is not the answer to their woes. They are simply going to have to cut their spending drastically until they are back on an even keel.

It looks very dangerous to me, as the indication is that the Unions would in effect be dictating the policies by which this country is run. Initially I am sure it would be limited to labour relations laws and similar, but once they have the taste of power I believe they will go much further than the article suggests.

Not only the academy schools issue the article's author mentions, but just about anything else could be required by the Unions in order to maintain their funding stream. This could be anything from new and unprecedented Union concessions and exemptions from various laws, to re-nationalising the railways.

No-one elected Union bosses to run our national Government! Now it looks as though they are about to become dictators to and of Britain. Is it too late to stop this, and is there any legal process that can do so? I do wonder, but am not aware of anything that can be done, especially when it has all been handled so secretively.

Fortunately we are now -- almost at the eleventh hour -- being made aware of what has been going on for some months. I'd strongly recommend we all keep a close eye out for further revelations, and in the meantime try to think of anything we can do about this whole issue -- permanently!
