The Boris Maru

Brexit a true Exit?

Maybe.

Herr Farage does not seem entirely pleased, but that's his job.

This blog is cautiously optimistic.

The Commons votes on Saturday.

Boris has put Labour in an impossible situation. Vote yes and they betray Remain. Vote no and they're responsible for a crash-out, no-deal Brexit after Boris did everything he could.

Right now Boris goes to the polls as the man who delivered Brexit and will return from an election the undisputed king of British politics, vanquishing all enemies and leaving a weak and flaccid post-Corbyn Labour in his wake.

Unless they can hack the system and reprogram the computer, Labour is effed.

Oley...oley...oley…oley….Boris....Boris...

Seven Seats of Labour

Labour's like Shas or United Torah Judaism now, a minor party that can be brought into a government. Except they can't. Likud would never bring Labour into a government, at least not under the spiteful and vindictive Bibi, and the Blue and Whites can take them for granted.

Labour bet everything on the Oslo Process. The unraveling began when Prime Minister Rabin* was assassinated in 1995. Labour's leadership fell to perpetual loser Shimon Peres, who did what he does best and lost to...Netanyahu in 1996. Ehud Barak beat Bibi in 1999 but failed in spectacular fashion at the Camp David talks of 2000. Two years of bloody war followed, of which them main political casualty was Labour. In a special 2001 election Arial Sharon**, till then a pariah, annihilated Barak 65-35. Labour has not ruled since.

This is a sad decline, really. Labour is the party of secular Zionism, the party of left wing Judaism, the party of Jewish Democrats, the party of David Ben Gurion. Labour founded Israel and was the nation's permanent governing party until 1976.

Last night Labour won seven seats.
