An effective opposition should hold the government to account.
What we have are a woeful excuse for an opposition. Despite all the opportunity they have had over the last 18 months, none of it has stuck.
The party conference has done zero to improve their chances of electoral success - inward looking infighting being the order of the day. Nothing of any substance to suggest any real plans.
Labour are not without competent and decent individuals. Perhaps a reinvention of a Lib/Lab pact could be in order. This will allow the truly nutter left (as I see them) to continue their pursuit of the politics of hate and envy, additionally becoming angy about their inevitable irrelevance.
