What I've said in the past is that I want the Labour Party to approach this matter on the basis of unity.

Staying in Likud means wasting time in political squabbles rather than acting on behalf of the good of the country.

So our problem is not Labour, it is us, is making us attractive enough to gain disillusioned Labour support and to compete effectively with the Lib Dems for those loose votes.

The new generation of Labour is different. Different attitudes, different ideas, different ways of doing politics.

The gap between the rich and poor is widening fast.

Labor must work harder to attract and retain members. The party should be cheaper to join with discounted rates available for union members as well as for students, pensioners, and people out of work.

And it seems to me in that experience may lie at least some of the clues for policy development perhaps constitutional changes as well that Labour will need to make at the national level too.

The Democrats have essentially decided to move more toward central power, control of just about every aspect of our culture and economy.
