No, Ed Miliband Does Not Have a ?Mandate? for His Net Zero Lunacy Tue Jul 30, 2024 07:00 | Ben Pile
With swivel-eyed zeal, Ed Miliband has been telling broadcasters he has a "mandate" to deliver his unworkable and unaffordable Net Zero agenda. Not when just 20% of the public voted for you, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Are Labour 'Seniors' also spineless...yes??
Rabbit said he'would lead the protest' when Bush arrived, where was he??
They are all spineless. Theres enough of them to bring the government down if they choose to but no, instead they play word games and the genocide continnues. But hats off to Labour Youth all the same, just a pity you wernt in Dail eireann.
There still is not a governemnt formed. There is a chance that the talks between Ff and the Greens and/or PDs, independents fall down. It might not be the most likely thing but you could still see a government made up between FF and Labour. If this were to happen Labour would not make US troops out of Shannon a precondition to government.
What would Labour Youth do then? This is not a narky crank question. I am genuinly interested in what these more radical youths in Labout will do when strakly confronted with the limits of their party. Will you leave Labour? Will you support such a government? Will you organise opposition to the leadership from within the party? and if so what exactly will you be doing?
"Will you organise opposition to the leadership from within the party? "
This would be the most likely scenario.
Enda Duffy who is among the radicals in LY wrote into the Irish Times during the week. His position is somewhat on the right I have to say. Enda said that he'd support a coalition government if Labour were bigger than FG. This is not a left-wing position, instead it's a strategic position. Duffy and others in LY are supportive of coalition politics, they only oppose it when it's not tactically correct for Labour's electoral advancement. Don't hold your breath on these Labour Youth trendies.
This is interesting to say the least. The executive of Young Labour acting without regard for their own policy. Young Labour doesn't have any policy on Boycotting the USA for any reason. They don't support the Iraqi War I know but they only Boycott Israel, Coca-Cola and Burma to the best of my knowledge.
Deciding not to fraternise with representatives of the BUSH regime is not the same as boycotting the USA. Socialising with representatives of the BUSH regime here in Ireland lends legitimacy and credibility to their appaling human rights abuses in Iraq and all over the world. No one is suggesting that the US should be boycotted.
Members of Sinn Fein and the Greens who continue to attend these events have a lot to answer for. If members of these parties spent more time on the ground involved in community politics and less time hanging out with elites in embassies they might have done better in the last elections.
sara is right. Any greens who attended this should be ashamed of themselves
Fully agree with this move. Labour shuld also cut all ties with the British Labour party and seek to have them removed from the Party of European Socialists (PES) of which both the British and Irish Labour party are members.
Failing to have them expelled, the Irish Labour party should withdraw from the PES if they want to retain credibility.
I could never understand why we never disassociated ourselves from and broke the link with the British Labour Party led by Tony Blair.
I have always felt uncomfortable with us being a sister party of the poeple responsible, along with Bush, for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Definitely time to break that link
