Jesus. The Labour Party made me start a damn blog.

Loads of people who I respect, and who are smarter than me, are arguing like mad on twitter today about the Labour Party and what ails it. ‘Blog Commenters’, apparently. At least for today.

These are smarter people than me and I really do respect them; but nope.

The comments on The Standard and at The Daily Blog do suck in many respects. But they are not the problem with the Labour Party. They would also suck if the party was doing well, but they would probably suck in different ways. They’d be railing against National for 90% of the time instead of about 60%.

The Party is in a sorry state. Everyone knows this. So of course the comments at the Standard are going to reflect that. The idea that if those damn guys would just shut the hell…
