Early signs, Labour will at least fight

Day one of Labour's last conference before the election. These are of course the most important conferences of the political cycle, the equivalent of the US conventions if you like, the final chance of a full week of uninterupted coverage for both parties to kick off their campaign and put thir case.

The Labour message seems clear, the word is fight. They want to fight for what they call 'The achievements of our Labour Government.' A phrase that will com up again and again. This conference is going to be facinating to watch, a combination of defeatists who believe the game is up, as opposed to those whose absolute terror about the idea of another Conservative Government means they will be desperately fighting to the bitter end.

As far as this blog is concerned, this week is all about the enemy, those who want another 5 years of this Government. Every attack on the Tories, every vision they have of a long term plan, every reference to their values which has ruined so much of this country being the countries values will send a shiver down the spine and raise the ire.

Watching those who want to defend what you hope will be destroyed, watching those who are terrified of what you hope is to come, watching those who you think have a dellusional sense of what is going and listenening to them for a full week is both terrifying and exciting at the same time. It is all about why I have decided to write this blog, another term, or the end of Labour is how this blog will end, this week these people will build themselves up, by the end the same people will hopefully have been knocked down to election defeat, and the end the Labour Government, for which they are going to fight.
