O/t the death of Labour leader John Smith

[great_fire]

I am currently researching, quite intensively, how the Labour Party betrayed it's original aims and became the fractured, divisive, nit-picking, party of middle class snowflakes.


I keep coming back to the Death of John Smith. I believe he would have been PM and an excellent one at that. Instead his tragic sudden death, and the war criminal taking over as leader diverted this great party away from its working class roots.


I would be genuinely interested to hear your opinions on this.

I believe the country would be a lot better place if John Smith had not died.

Politicians never turn out to be as good as you think they will be, why would John Smith be any different?

I always wonder if John Smith was in some ways lucky to have never had to fulfill his undoubted promise but for the record I think he would have made a good leader,maybe great and definitely prime minister,
