From The Fringe - Monday


So Day Two of Conference, much schmoozing of journalists and politicians before the "great one" Gordon took to conference floor to deliver a 63 minute speech that pleased some, disappointed others but in all generally seemed from the heart.

Gordon Brown's Speech
What Gordon said was mostly empty rhetoric sadly, it was a crowd pleasing rallying call to troops and destroyed every solid prediction i put down yesterday of there being no snap election. I feel now is the time not to say anymore on the subject, in case i get it totally wrong.
Gordon's youth speech however sat well with me, i felt it was about time the young was given more of the political thought and this only bodes well for hopefully another term.

Lib vs Lab - Who's The Real Progressive Party
A debate which included former Labour defector Vince Cable, covered several topical issues including tuition fees, chaired by Tim Horton a lively debate left a sour taste in most people's mouths after accusations and counter accusations of sabotage in rival electioneering campaigns. Politics is pointless when it falls into the category of Punch and Judy and sadly for such a debate with so much, it fell so short.

So Day Two, I believe Labour are a progressive party, however certain areas of the party are backward in going forward....comrades.
