You can't say someone isn't Labour just because you personally disagree with their work. New Labour was still left-of-centre, even if it was closer than previous Labour institutions.

Left and right transcend economic class. The idea that the left is rooted in the working class is a complete fabrication.

Gordon Brown also harmed the NHS by the way. Considerably.

The whole thing of the "new" Democrats and "new" Labour is making a show of staking positions that are essentially a middle finger to their core constituencies.
