If Socialism is unelectable then I'll stick with them until they are. Just because the representives of the greedy and acquistive have control at the moment I will not vote for a group of people trying to emulate them and are not much different from Thatcherism. As for your tirade against the BBC. Do you really want it controlled by the Suits and Corporate Bodies who have the power to censor anything not of their liking by threatening to withdraw advertising revenues. Since the rest of the media is now controlled by such people the BBC remains a citadel of civilised values and long may it be so.
