As a postscript to British Perspectives 2005 (What is happening in Britain)
Phil Mitchinson analyses the results of the recent general election in
the context of mounting insecurity in the British economy, politics and
society as a whole. Labour won the election with the smallest share of
the vote of any victorious party in history. With the government's
majority severely reduced how much longer can Blair last? 'New' Labour
has set off on a collision course with its own backbenches and with the
trade unions and the working class.

 Labour
has won an historic third term victory in the 2005 General Election,
yet there will be no dancing in the streets, no street parties, in fact
little enthusiasm at all. The combination of widespread opposition to
the war in Iraq, distrust of Blair, and disillusionment with the
failures of the last two terms of Labour government means that Labour
won the election with the lowest share of the vote, just 36 percent, of
any victorious party in history.

We recently published a review of a film shown on the BBC entitled
Faith which wove together the lives of its fictional characters with
the real events of the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike. The result was a moving
drama and an unusually honest account of this great struggle,
sympathetic to the miners and their communities. The film’s director,
David Thacker spoke to us about the making of the film and his own
political views.

Mick Brooks looks at the historical background to the British car
industry and in particular that of Rover. It is a history of decline,
of underinvestment, and finally of collapse. Now all the attempts to
save Rover by looking for private buyers have failed. It is a
reflection of the decline of the British capitalist class as a whole. |
