Not good enough.

A worrying (to me) opinion poll has found that nearly half those questioned would support a party with far-right views (English nationalist, anti-immigration, etc.) provided it did not espouse violence.  I wonder to what extent this is due to the current lack of any real Opposition in this country.  Although it's five months now since Ed Milliband was elected as Labour's new leader, the party does not seem to have any specific policies.  It's just sitting on the sidelines continually muttering "too far, too fast" but giving no indication that they have any real alternatives to put forward.  This can only play into the hands of the extremists - left or right.  For our system to work properly, we need a strong and positive Opposition.  Come on, Labour!!
