Blair's Labour Party hasn't been expelled from Socialist International?

What the fuck? I'm surprised that the NDP hasn't tried to get rid of them...lol

(Sorry if I'm wrong. But both SI and the Labour Party use the same symbol.)

1. That baffles me, too. If there's anything less-socialist than New Labour,

it can only be the Tories.

2. New Labour meet New Democrats

:) I had to say it.

3. Spot on, John

They're two of a wretched kind.

5. I felt lol so tempted

Seriously I bet theres a british LLC, Labour Leadership Council ala DLC.

4. And that's now debatable

After the Tories saying they want to abolish the tuition fees that 'New' Labour introduced for UK universities (Labour are talking about massive increases for them, for the most popular universities, instead), the Tories have now said they want to change the increases for the state old age pension back to being linked to the increase in wage rates, rather than the (less generous) retail price increases.
The link to wage rates was introduced by Labour in the 1970s; linking to retail prices was introduced by Thatcher in the 80s.
