UK's panicked neoliberal regime desperate to build a third loyal party to halt Corbyn's progressive counterattack
Right
after the seven neoliberal Blairites left
the Labour party towards the formation of a new
"independent" party, three Tories decided to join them.
As the
Guardian reported:
“Three Conservatives have quit their party to join the new
Independent Group of MPs, declaring that hard Brexiters have taken
over and that the modernising wing of the party has been 'destroyed'.
Anna Soubry, Sarah Wollaston and Heidi Allen explained their decision
to join the new group, founded this week by seven Labour MPs, who
also left their party.”
It all
happened too fast and someone would be rather naive to believe that
these moves were not pre-agreed and fully coordinated.
All the
picks appear to be carefully selected. The establishment takes back
those who has raised carefully with the 'principles' of the
neoliberal ideology in order to save them from the collapsing
conservative party and the Corbynism-'contaminated' Labour. Next
step, a third 'independent' party with the mission to save
neoliberalism.
It's not
hard to guess the source of funding of this new party. It is the part
of the big capital, especially the financial sector and the
pro-Israeli lobby in the UK, that benefits from the neoliberal
globalization. Therefore, it is the part of the big capital that
seeks to reverse Brexit at all costs and shares common ideas and
interests with the lobbies that control the EU.
It is
also quite easy to guess the political framework of the new
'independent' party. It will smear anyone who condemns the Israeli
crimes against Palestinians as 'anti-Semite'. It will be progressive
enough to support the rights of women and all kinds of minorities.
Yet, not progressive enough to support the ending of for-profit wars,
more taxes for the wealthy, or, the 'resurrection' of the public
sector and the social state. Adjusted perfectly to maintain the
neoliberal status quo.
Once the
party is ready, the mainstream media will promote it as the "new"
(as it happened with Emmanuel Macron) that will save the UK from
chaos, and perhaps, try to re-negotiate a second referendum in order
to alter the Brexit vote.
Despite
that the Tories are traditionally devoted to the neoliberal
orthodoxy, the ultra-patriotic faction of the party threatens to
blow-up any time the plans of the big capital globalists by
supporting a direct confrontation with the EU and, probably a hard
Brexit.
Yet,
what the neoliberal regime identifies as a real threat is a
victorious Labour party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn.
As
already mentioned, If Jeremy Corbyn manages to survive the war to
hold his position in the party, he may be able to clear it from all
the remaining Blairite neoliberal barriers. Then, he could renew it
with fresh real Leftists. With such a prospect, it would be even more
difficult for the neoliberal regime to maintain its power.
