This is, in the main, the text of an email to the Labour Party.  I expect only a bland, machine generated reply but I really am frustrated.  Things are so bad that I can see the Tories dumping Cameron and plumping (an apt word) for Boris Johnson - that's a real nightmare.

What can the Labour Party offer today to somebody who has always voted Labour?  I was a member until Ed Miliband took the Tory line over public sector workers.  I suppose that my problem with the Labour Party is its leader.  Since his appointment, there has been little in the way of opposition to this appalling government; so many opportunities lost, so many open goals not even attempted, let alone missed.  Ed has always appeared ready to accept on behalf of the Labour Party responsibility for the world’s financial ills and has continually attempted to divorce himself from the last government.  All the time wasted “Refounding” (a word not in my dictionary) Labour and nothing to show, Ed Miliband, by his low, not to say sunken, profile is largely responsible for the death of domestic politics.

It now seems that, that in an attempt to lure more middle class voters to the party, Ed and his advisers even want to deny that the Labour movement was created by the trades unions.  Is there a real Labour Party out there, somewhere, one that is not frightened to be left wing? 
I really do believe that Ed will lose us the next election and I really fear for the country under rejuvenated Tory leadership.  Is there a future for ordinary people in this country?
