Nesrine Malik on the Q of whether we live in an 'essentially conservative' country:

'The only perennial truth about England is that it is an unequal country & the Conservative party has leveraged that inequality to its benefit: the English ruling class it represents has constructed its own majority'!

But if Labour just accepts this 'myth' we will see little change; now is the time, she argues (rightly in my view) to empower our progressive instincts, not dismiss them.
