How Socialist Is The Labour Party
... Where workers cease to be commodities bought and sold on the labour market. ... “The problem is private property; the remedy is public ownership” Clement Attlee gives a key socialist quote, socialist ideas include here re-distribution of income and wealth which can be simplified to the term “take from the rich and give to the poor”, also an industrial democracy and abolition of private services are all linked to this quote. The labour party can be considered a “broad church” there is no one view for what it stands for or what it should stand for. The labour party have never been entirely committed to socialism the ideology and policies have been changed repeatedly over its lifetime. Labour is committed to parliamentary democracy regardless whether it was created outside parliament, it is a left of centre party described as “socialist” or “social democratic” but is certainly the most left of the three main parties.
