I think it's probably a very good idea for Labour to swing hard to the left because frankly New Labour is as much of a sham as the Clintonian Democrats in terms of their flavorless centrist policies. But the key thing is to actually electrify the voters and get them to vote. Labour in any form is still much, much better than the current government; I just wish more people saw that. I do think that if the entire country voted, much like if the US's full electorate voted, the dominant left-wing party would win nine times out of ten.
