Jump To Comment: 1 2Ill just keep asking til they answer:
Will the Labour Party continue to oppose the war if the US/UK win UN security Council backing for their war for oil?
What has the Labour Party done in the PES and Socialist International to oppose Blair and the British Labour Party's full support for Bush's drive to war?
The repeated failure to respond to these reasonable questions leads me to think that the official Labour Party stance as opposed to the good work of many grassroots members is a deeply cynical ploy to win votes on the left. So how about a response from the Labour Office or do you just put out press releases and ignore resonable questioning of your policies?
Rabbitte spelled out the Labour Party position on Feb. 20. in the Dail. Only a 'unilateral' attack by the U.S. would be 'unjustified, immoral and illegal. So if the U.S. succeeds in putting together a majority coalition on the Security Council of the bribed and the bought, then the mass murder of 1,000s of civilians will be justified. This is the Labour Party position.
