		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re dead right about Labour not pulling their weight. 

Certainly get the feeling Corbyn&#039;s (and Seamas Milne&#039;s) support for Remain is at best luke-warm.  It might just be because both of them are completely useless. Or maybe they think the Tories will either implode or shift to the right in the event of a Leave vote, and that will be an opportunity for Labour.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You did well to extract this piece from Ian Dunt&#039;s website.   But the third paragraph is confusing.  Agreed that purist theorising is not practical politics.   But is he saying that the Tories and the Scot Nats are profiting by appeasing the purists?  

Labour was gravely damaged by its part in the Scottish Referendum.  Were the Lib Dems punished for their role in the Coalition?  I think that was more because their erstwhile partners concentrated their efforts on Lib Dem seats at the General Election (which alone gave the Tories their majority.

What we are waiting for is for Labour to pull their weight in the Referendum campaign.  Mayor Khan did I think preserve Labour&#039;s identity when appearing with Cameron.   In fact by doing so he showed-up the insincerity of Cameron&#039;s stupid labelling of him in the Mayoral election.   But we wait for Corbyn et al to say more.   (Or are they speaking but the Press not hearing?)]]></description>
