Great news: Labour and Lib dems to die out

PLUMMETING membership membership numbers will wipe out the Labour Party by 2010, a shock report warns today.

Only 24 hours before the start of the Labour Conference in Brighton, a left-wing think tank said 200,000 people had left the party in the last five years.

With just over 200,000 members left, the Fabian Society fears the end is in sight for the 100-year-old political party which once boasted more than a million members.

A spokesman said: "If that decline were to continue unabated, the last party member would be turning out the lights by around 2010."

That is fantastic to hear however I think 2010 is a bit too early but we can always hope that it happens.

In other great news the Liberal Democrat Party is being investigated by the elections watchdog over a £2.4 million donation from a company owned by a Swiss-based financier who is not even registered to vote in Britiain.

The Electoral Commission last night confirmed it was conducting an inquiry into whether donations from 5th Avenue Partners had complied with laws banning political parties from taking foreign money.

If they find against the Lib Dems the party will be forced to return the money, triggering a financial crisis.

So the Lib dems could be in a financial crisis and the Labour party could be extinct soon. Could the news get any better? If the Lib dems go into debt then they might not be able to finance anymore elections which would mean both the libdems and labour no longer existing which would allow other parties like the BNP to have a chance. The future is looking bright. Even if the BNP don't win the second best choice will and that is the Conservatives who will do very little but they will stop the EU from taking advantage of us (well not really but they will do more than Labour) and stop the breakup of the United kingdom and England.

I can also see a more likely scenario happening. Labour have the money and the power. The libdems have the membership. I can see them merging in the near future as they are both on the left political spectrum. What will they call themselves? New democrats? Labour Democrats? Only time will tell what will happen but I see it happening and if it does happen (god forbid) will Gordon Brown be the leader when Blair leaves or will Charles Kennedy? Scary thought whoever it is.
