After demonstrating he doesn't know anything about National Insurance Alan Johnson is resigning.

Citing "personal" reasons, as usual, Mr Johnson is now moving to the back benches, fancy that.

I wouldn't pass much heed on it to be honest Labour is pretty much out of Government for next 4yrs or so plenty of time to fix the party structure.

Labour sound like an impotent bunch, don't they?

Pff, this will be forgotten by the time the next election comes around. If pit stops can rip wheels off and replace them in under a minute, I'm sure Labour can in four years.

Though seriously, all of the parties are a complete joke. If I had the money and human resources, I would set up a party which would appeal from the likes of me on the left, all the way to Furunculus on the right (because it would provide a more credible alternative). Though, the name is a tricky point though, probably the 'Initiative' party. It would be a pro-democratic party which would aim to reform or replace the current system with a brand new, highly efficient, practical, system which would limit "politics" in its current 'bitching' form which plagues us today. It would have a mandate to fix the budget, with long-term goals, bringing prosperity and growth to the nation.

Also a point Furunculus would like, Britain would only join Europe if it adopts a similar system and scraps its corrupt bureaucratic mess, and it would require a referendum requiring at least 60% of the vote.
