Yet another Labor hack, defending the corpse of The Australian Labor Party. The blind faith that the current unrepresentative labor rabble is anything akin to the decency of Labor under Curtin or Chifley is farcical.

Leaving the Labor party to the people who are nowadays treading the pathways of the original founders of the party is the only way for any working man or womans party to proceed from here.

Leave the current labor party relic to the academic's, intellectuals and braindead educated and affluent descendants of the original founders.

As a former member of the Labor Party, I can assure OLO readers that democracy does not exist within the Party.

The branch members can pass resolution after resolution, they all just simply ignored by the executive, which is made up of university educated elitists or trade unionists, both of whom look down on the average Labor Party branch member.

Branch members exist for two reasons only, to make up the numbers which give the Labor Party credibility as a people's movement, and to hand out "how to vote" papers during election time.

The Labor Party has lost its way as a movement representing Australian workers and the disadvantaged. The rot set in when they began sucking up to ethnic minorities at the expense of their own electorate, and sucking up to the inner city trendoids with their wacky ideals which are usually diametrically opposed to what their traditional electors believe in.

Ironically, it is now the inner city trendoids which have deserted them for the Greens, while the major immigrant groups are now attempting to form ethnic based parties in NSW.
