New Labour's 'tipping point'
Labour dissident Mark Seddon has an interesting article in today’s Guardian. He attacks New Labour’s attempts to control the selection of Labour candidates for the general election, but what is significant is his speculation on the ‘tipping point’, the point at which Blair might begin to lose control over his party:
“The tipping point for Tony Blair and possibly for the New Labour project will be decided by the size of any majority in the forthcoming general election. Much under 60 and Tony Blair’s nightmare becomes a reality: for his majority will then be made up of the leftwing Campaign Group MPs, aggrieved former ministers and the awkward squad.”
