But if you follow that logic through, you'll also see that the Lib Dems make a terrible option as a coalition partner as well. The Lid Dems are becoming ever more centrist and so are quite happy sleeping with the Centre Party.

We're after some clear red water.

Can the TSR Labour Party justify income taxation, on moral grounds?

How does the TSR Labour Party plan to pass labourist legislation this term with the two main alliance blocks being centrist and right wing?

Whether we fail or succeed at least we stood on our own two feet and tried.

I don't think it would be as hard as you think.

Are there any books of political philosophy that the Labour Party would slam on a table and claim that "this is what we believe"?

What two main alliance blocks? Do you know something about coalitions that I don't?

See why would you go to Michael Foot when you can have the man himself?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trust-Tories...8643601&sr=8-7

Though that doesn't particularly answer STB's question as they're not strictly works of political philosophy.

Well it wouldn't stretch the limits of imagination to suggest that voting patterns of Lib Dems and Centre, and the Tories and Libertarians are likely to be vaguely similar

We're a true Labour not the party that moved towards the centre to collect votes. Here's our recent manifesto that gained us 8 seats in the house and maybe will help you with deciding whether our party is for you or not.

TSR Labour party


A Greener Labour... A Better Direction...

“This moment calls for stronger regulation, an active state, better public services, an open democracy.” – James Purnell

The TSR Labour Party supports this opinion and will go green with a new focus on the environment, whilst acting in your interests to create jobs, fully regulate banks and restore public confidence in the political process. Unlike the real life Labour Party, we take pride in our socialist roots and will work for the people, not corporations.


We will:
• Ensure everyone has quick access to an NHS doctor and dentist.
Oppose the Heathrow expansion and reduce domestic flights.
• Make all suitable energy efficiency products VAT exempt to the public.
Restructure the rail network with high speed lines connecting the UK.
• Rebuild the university loans system, making it easier, fairer and quicker.


TSR Labour believes in a society where every person has fair and equal access to high standards of healthcare, education and local government services. Regardless of background, everyone in a TSR Labour society is valuable and will be supported by the government and as a party we are proud to consistently achieve the aims we set out.


Key Accomplishments:
• Prevented the Libertarians removing the national minimum wage.
• Brought an end to clamping and astronomical fines for parking offences.
• Ensured essential drugs and vaccines can be produced cheaply for everyone.
• Acted to ensure short term economic stability removing unnecessary restrictions on trading hours for retailers.
• Legalised gay marriage, despite Socialist opposition.
