The Labor Party Congress in Britain officially opens this Sunday 22 September in Brighton. But the Brexit issue, which opened wide open wounds within the ruling conservative party, also divides the Labor opposition. A knife atmosphere a few hours from the meeting.
And if the number 2 of the Labor Party was ejected from the management? Tom Watson, who challenges the line of Jeremy Corbyn, saw the wind of the bullet on Friday night; a motion to remove his position was tabled. It was removed from the agenda this Saturday on the intervention of the party leader.
Jeremy Corbyn wants elections before a referendum when Tom Watson reiterates he wants the opposite. This will not be the reason for a settlement at the top so, but the damage is done: a new display of serious divisions within the Labor camp. Enough to weaken a party that has already taken a slap in the European May last, 13.6% of the vote, almost 11 points less in 5 years.
The most hated politician in the country, Jeremy Corbyn heads, at age 70, a party of nearly 500,000 members. That's three times more than his Conservative rival, except that if elections were held tomorrow, the Conservatives would win. Funny climate of return so for a party that is about to enter the campaign. Early elections are expected in Britain by the end of the year.
We're in Brighton for Labor Party Conference today.
We will be setting our plans to end the Brexit crisis, kickstart a Green Industrial Revolution and put wealth in the hands of the many, not the few.
