Read his book "the unfinished revolution" it proably the only compelling case for Blairism that there is... he makes his case very well indeed... I'm in the UK at the moment and reading it...

Where in the UK?

London is a lot bigger than people think... have you met any of those annoying private-school educated Trot's with painfully affected "Cockney" accents yet?

Yes... but no effected cockney accents so far... I think there is a soc mart in a bit (where all the Uni societies come out and try and convince you to join)... I'm looking forward to the Socialist workers as i always end up arguing with them...god bless em’... then again I have had the odd argument with the conservatives too… but the socialist workers and the conservatives seem to be the largest group… but the SW’s are so much more fun… “we want to nationalise the top 25 companies” yeah!... classic… hey I admire their idealism but their argument are always really poor…

If I remember correctly it's usually: "One solution... Revolution!"... or or "America bad, SWP good"...

Most of 'em will sell out the day they leave Uni... working for Nestle for example...

So very true… and most of their “daddy’s” are orthodontists, Vets, Barristers or some other pillar of the bourgeoisie establishment still…still who are we to stand in the way of the “inevitable” proletariat revolution… who cares that most of this “proletariat” is imaginary… and plenty of the people you could probably call “working class” voted for Thatcher in the 1980’s as those in the US voted for Reagan (I seemed to remember that “Dutch” got more of the votes of the unemployed in both 1980 and 1984 than the Dems… now that’s an achievement)…

In the U.K "Reagan-Democrats" were mostly confined to East London and the Midlands.
But "New" Labour was/is popular with working class people...

In fact most of the SWP crowd's Daddy's voted for Thatcher...

I forgot something earlier.  Zell Miller is the stupidest piece of crap ever to disgrace the Democratic Party (even more than Daschle and even Gore, both of whom I have an extreme hatred for.

He is a peice of crap because he doesnt agree with you? What about Jim Jeffords, he screwed the Republicans over.

1st off, Jeffords did the right thing and became an Independent.  Secondly, Miller is a stupid peice of crap because he is a Republican, and will not become one or even an Independent.  He gives disrespect to his own party, is voting for Bush, and is a darn Republican.  He needs to face facts and get out of my party.  That's why he's a stupid peice of crap.

Miller is farther right than probably 80% of Republicans.
