I read this morning an interesting article on the travails of the modern "labour" parties which include Labor, UK Labour, the democrats etc. and the major issue he identified is that the values of the working man largely have not changed, but the left whinge elite have been pursuing a series of values that in theory are virtuous, but in reality are contrary to needs of the people they are supposed to represent.
The prime example is climate change. While no one can deny the need to address this issue, the fervour with which labor pursued this goal drastically increased power costs, increased the cost of living, destroyed jobs and led to blackouts all the time while Labor was claiming that their policies would reduce costs, create jobs and provide reliable power. Eventually, labor lost credibility on this issue and when Labor pledged to reduce emissions by 45% by 2030 the workers abandoned them.
