Keir already has the political positioning of Blair and look where that got him. The country as a whole has changed a lot. Blair basically rode the big economic growth of the 90s and then the dot come bubble from the US, a fair wind. Nicola Sturgeon is trying the "free everything" card even though most people seem to realise that Scotland cannot actually afford* even the current free stuff in a country with vast numbers of benefits claimants and drug addicts.
* Except for the nats, they have convinced themselves independent Scotland has infinite supplies of money and makes up 95% of UK GDP. We are just bitter about independence etc. |

I think maybe you are right with your title premise. Without large industry, could it be that Labour have no reason to exist, and that's why they're floundering? Hunting around the woke ocean of detritus for something buoyant to grasp onto?
Time for a new opposition party with a new name and new philosophy perhaps. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Labour in its present form is an irrelevance because its core voters don't exist any more in sufficient numbers to win anything at national level. My street is typical of this - the two houses with Labour placards in the garden are both owned by retired middle-class types with enough money to afford socialist principles. There is no bloc-vote from those working in primary industries any more.
A mate of mine who is a decent, hard-working chap and a Labour Councillor explained the Party's cunning plan. Say nothing so it can't be criticised, wait for the Tories to implode then reveal a magnificent country-saving manifesto shortly before the next general election and sweep to power on a wave of centre-left 'thank fuck for thatism'. This may still work... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

I'd have thought getting 'influencers' to convince the kids that Labour is hip and happening would be the way to go. Labour could achieve this by paying said 'influencers' in anal bleach, tooth polishing and elocution lessons...
As for those of us who aren't influenced by these muppets, a little more though will be required. Getting rid of HS2 and free soapy tit-wanks from Jess Phillips could help... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Well they're all pissed off because even after a couple of postal votes each, then risking being seen by the incapacity
benefit people limping down to the polling station to vote again in person with each their "spare" identities, they
still lost. No wonder really. I think they believe they are owed some type of "extra credit" for all the additional effort
their community has collectively put in to try and rig the election. LOL
Of course, then when deception, half truths and straight up fraud didn't work, out comes the always ready,
incandescently outraged mob, often in religious clothing and nearly always with hurriedly written, badly spelt
banners for extra "minority" points.

We could flog you a few old nukes cheap like. For those cold rainy days when you need a little sunshine |
I think you're probably in need of that extra sunshine more than we in England are
Ah, but I see you have given away Scotland's plan for affording independence: sell stuff that doesn't belong to you
Perhaps you could just sell stuff once we have worked out how much you were actually subsidised, and taking that figure off first of course.
