Is the Labour Party being very dumb or very smart?
Labour are suffering the absence of a genuine Nye Bevan character, or even anyone of the stature of either an honest and/or competent Kinnock or T. Dan Smith. This current doom isn't 1948 by along chalk, and back then we managed to _establish_ the NHS - in an Olympic year, and on less budget too.
So in the absence of an attractive Labour party, are they merely hiding out of the limelight and watching the other two tear the Liberals apart? Then six months before an election, they pop back up again and offer an alternative to the Tories that isn't wholly discredited. Having done nothing for a couple of years, there's less than usual to hold against them.
Recycle a few of Obama's blander (and hardly used) "Hope" posters, and there's a Labour election campaign.
