Who knew that when Rishi Sunak insisted he ‘had a plan’ it was to conduct the most inept political campaign in British electoral history? This is an election with little choice, as elections in capitalist democracies are meant to be. Swathes of Scottish voters will, I suspect, choose Labour at this election without losing the aspiration to independence. Research from Declassified UK shows that one quarter of all British MPs have received funding from the Israel lobby. For all its farce this general election is doing more than any I can remember to expose the failure of the Union and the uselessness of electoral democracy under capitalism.
