They cannot be serious

Last year in Blackpool Labour held a stage-managed debate on Iraq
which passed a dog's dinner of a resolution. This year, Labour has
gone one better - or rather one worse. After a year in which politics
have been utterly dominated by Iraq, Labour's union-heavy voting
system yesterday chose to leave the subject off the agenda altogether.
Yesterday's decision would be funny if it was not so tragic. It raises
the question of whether this week's Labour conference really has any
point in it at all, and whether democracy and the Labour party are
subjects which can any longer be mentioned in the same sentence. In
any event, this was not the action of a serious party.
