[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7553851, member: 818"] Its noticeable that the people who created the Labour Movement were working class themselves, but as soon as they had created a political movement that was capable of obtaining power at the ballot box the middle classes moved in. You went from having Labour MPs who had been miners and dockers and railwaymen to having middle class public school and university educated ones. That process started post war and has continued ever since. Who was the last true working class minister in a Labour government? John Prescott I'd say, and he was only kept as a sort of pet by the middle class types who were utterly in control of Labour by the 90s. Labour is now the party of university educated middle class State employees, and as such represents their interests above all else. [/QUOTE]
