With such political heavyweights as Joan Ryan and Siobhain McDonagh calling for a leadership contest, Brown must be shaking in his boots. The truth is, that despite the huge amount of media hysteria, the Machiavelian intrigues of the New Labour elite are of little interest to anyone apart from party members and professional politics watchers. The mass of ordinary people are well aware that whoever is in Number 10, from whatever brand of New Labour/New Tory/Same Old Story,the increasing gulf between rich and poor will continue. The reality of modern capitalism is that power, real power, belongs not to politicians but to big business.
The project is not to change leaders but to change life. Something that we can only do when we make real the power dormant in all of us - not just at the ballot box but on the streets, in the workplace and in every area of daily life
