Today I want to address a comment left by Emma in reply to my entry yesterday. She suggests I should join the Labour party. This has been proposed to me before, and I have thought about it. The truth is, I’m unwilling to fully commit to any specific political party: while I agree with much of what they did, some of labour’s policies seem a little too free-market oriented to me. If I joined labour, I fear I might be pinning myself down politically. What if they were to lurch to the right? I want to be free to make my own mind up. Plus, what sort of free radical revolutionary would I be if I was actually a member of one of the three main political parties?
