There that the beating he received the labour today is worse than that which occurred 40 years ago. Somehow, labour has paid expensive having appointed Brown as his boss and his Prime Minister without having there been any vote either to its own membership level or at national level. The municipal defeat of the Wilson labour in 1968 led to that two years after his party lost power, although he then return to the Premiership in 1974-76. The debacle of this Brown primero de mayo more resembles the electoral defeat that took the first tory Minister John Major before you dig its mandate and that paved the arrival of Tony Blair to power in 1997. Ken fell by receiving Government a big bear hug the struggle by the Mayor’s Office has been very close and this would imply that Ken Livingstone, but it has lost narrowly, I offered a better result than the average of labour at the national level. Moreover, it is very likely that red Ken has doubled the percentage of 24% that his party has taken at the national level.
Shortly before the election Ken said that if he lost that you should to that policy has des-ideologizado, and that people now opt to personalities. However, what has most undermined to Livingstone is his own association with the Government. In 2000 the He came to the Mayor competing against his party who expelled him when he refused to accept the veto that Blair and Brown imposed against him for naational (despite having been elected by the London bases of labour). He then overcame by a wide vote, which shrank slightly in 2004. If his victory created problems to the new labour of Blair and Brown in 2000, today his defeat may mean the beginning of the fall of it.
