State of confusion

After Worker's Power candidate, Jeremy Drinkall, the Anti-Capitalist candidate for Vauxhall, having castigated the Labour Party for their pro-war position at the Stop the War hustings on Monday night, the following information comes to light on the Onionbag blog

It’s all very well Jeremy criticising the Greens and the LibDems but it seems to have been overlooked (perhaps because he didn’t highlight it) that he’s calling for voters in Streatham to vote for the Labour candidate there (and for voters in Dulwich and Norwood to vote for Tessa Jowell, who actually voted for the war). A copy of his party’s magazine handed out at the meeting carried a middle page article headed “Vote for Socialist and Labour candidates” in which the author called “on workers to vote anticapitalist and socialist candidates in the 40 constituencies where we can, and for Labour everywhere else in the country”, ie as Streatham is not one of the 40 to vote there for Chukka Umanna. So there was no need for Chukka to turn up. Jeremy was there to bat for him.

Supporting Tessa Jowell, whose memorable quotes include: "I would lay down my life for Tony Blair" and "It is not a choice between a PFI hospital and a publicly funded hospital, it is a choice between a hospital and no hospital", and Chukka Umunna, who stated in his message to Stop the War that he supports the war in Afghanistan, and said the same in person at the pensioners hustings on Monday afternoon, I think that Jeremy has got some gaps in his political thinking. It is this sort of doublethink which gets the Left a bad name.
