Janet - my husband has been weeping for many years - he has no longer got a party he can in all honesty and good faith believe in or vote for. This from a staunch socialist. |

Ann, when you say tradition versus Labour party I thought you were refering to the Labour tradition of socialist values which appear to have been lost in the past few years. |

I think he's also changed, or plans to change, the opening of parliament ceremony, cos he thought it was full of 'traditional' rituals which he probably thought 'inappropriate'! |

Exactly - but they also got rid of the Lord Chancellors robes as well and there are lots of others which I cannot recall but my son does - his memory is better than mine. |

Tradition shouldn't be up to date though! |

I don't know the point of renaming either - apparently it was thought the name Strangers Gallery not 'up-to-date'. It is not offensive has been known as such for hundreds of years - but the time and money wasted in debating this is boggling! |

Latest part of history the Labour Party has done away with is to rename the 'Strangers Gallery' - this will be now the Public Gallery - will we have any traditions left or nationality at all by the time the Labour Party have finished. Worst of all they spent some hours debating this subject. Ann |
