The New UK Labour site seems to be dirty purple
The site is here. Some say that UK Labour has certainly behaved in a dirty way, which could explain the dirty colour, but they seem to have added a Tory Blue shade to the Labour Party colour it appears. Or the colour may that of the face of a Cabinet Minister after a few too many drinks.
It may all be more than a mild joke or a feeble p.r. attempt as the Labour Party has over the last few years turned to supporting potential voters of the "Mondeo Man" variety. Maybe that gets more votes but it is beginning to look as if it could also be the end of an era and a surrendering to a corrupt and ideologically and politically unacceptable and unsound form of State Monopoly Capitalism.
This is possibly bad, but lets wait and see. The new, sophisticated Mondeo Man styled society has turned out largely not to be a step up from being working class, but a nasty bunch of bigoted and mindless drunks and yobs, as indeed a thinking person might have expected.
Maybe some improvement in the voting system is needed, or maybe contemporary democracy is becoming complely unworkable in present likely climates of opinion. Blair certainly did not seem to give much heed to expressed public views on Iraq but in effect relied on an increase in public ignorance and stupidity, plenty of spin, and a less than welcome Tory opposition. But this could be regarded as a betrayal of democracy or an exposure of some of its weaknesses.
IMO: In roughly the words of Wellington: I don't know if the voters frighten Gordon Brown, but they certainly would frighten me, indeed with knives, guns, masks, hoods and veils if they can.
